-- This demo creates a menu structure for the planes within the red coalition.
-- This time you can add and remove menu entries dynamic.

-- Find and save client object
local Plane1 = CLIENT:FindByName( "Plane 1" )
local Plane2 = CLIENT:FindByName( "Plane 2" )

-- This would create a menu for the red coalition under the main DCS "Others" menu.
local MenuCoalitionRed = MENU_COALITION:New( coalition.side.RED, "Manage Menus" )

-- We define the variable here, so we can use them in the functions, but the status is saved on mission script level.
local MenuStatus -- Menu#MENU_COALITION

-- A simple function to show a status text.
local function ShowStatus( StatusText, TextToCoalition )
MESSAGE:New( TextToCoalition, 15 ):ToRed()
Plane1:Message( StatusText, 15 )
Plane2:Message( StatusText, 15 )
end

-- This function creates a menu entry for the red coalition to show a status message.
local function AddStatusMenu()
MenuStatus = MENU_COALITION:New( coalition.side.RED, "Status of Planes" )
local MenuStatusShow = MENU_COALITION_COMMAND:New( coalition.side.RED, "Show Status", MenuStatus, ShowStatus, "Status of planes is ok!", "Message to Red Coalition" )
end

-- This function removes the menu entry for the red coalition to show a status message.
local function RemoveStatusMenu()
MenuStatus:Remove()
