DCS Mission Scripts

A collection of Lua scripts for DCS World mission building. Drop them into your mission via a MISSION START → DO SCRIPT FILE trigger.

Dependencies

Most scripts require MOOSE and/or MIST to be loaded before they run.

• MOOSE — Mission Object Oriented Scripting Environment
• MIST — Mission Scripting Tools

Load these first in your trigger chain, then load whichever scripts from this repo you need.

Scripts

flight_message.lua

Sends aircraft-family-aware flavor messages to players on spawn, takeoff, landing, and kill events. Supports fighters, attack aircraft, helicopters, bombers, transports, and warbirds. Kill messages distinguish air, ground, and sea targets.

arty_strike.lua

Lets CAS and helicopter pilots call in scripted artillery via the F10 comms menu. Target with a laser designator or an F10 map mark. Configurable shell count, spread, delay, and cooldown at the top of the file.

speed_kill.lua

Destroys a unit's group if its speed drops below a configurable threshold. Useful for cleaning up AI assets after landing or removing stalled aircraft. No external dependencies — uses only the DCS scripting API.

Setup:

1. Load at mission start: MISSION START → DO SCRIPT FILE → speed_kill.lua
2. On WP1 of any group, add a Perform Command → Run Script action:

   SpeedKill.watch("UnitName", minKnots)

   Optional third argument sets the check interval in seconds (default 2):

   SpeedKill.watch("UnitName", 90, 5)
