Mission Influence tracking for BGS

[ACyprus]

Hello team,

I'm looking for a way to track total Influence gained for a faction across a game session, when running BGS missions.

This is reported to the Squadron for BGS planning.

Currently, I write down the Influence reward following each mission hand-in, sum the total and pop it on Discord at the end of a night. This is cumbersome because I play in VR, and thus would love to be able to track this automatically with EDDI/VA without the need to remove my headset.

I can see the ((EDDI mission accepted)) event passes {TXT:EDDI mission accepted influence} but there doesn't seem to be an equivalent variable passed for ((EDDI mission completed)).

Is there any way to access influence reward on mission hand-in, other than trying to correlate the two events above via corresponding {DEC:EDDI mission accepted missionid}?

Much thanks

It seems that at some point FDev added a FactionEffects property to the MissionCompleted event which we currently do not parse.
It should be possible to expose this data.

{
    "timestamp": "2021-07-02T08:17:21Z",
    "event": "MissionCompleted",
    "Faction": "Noblemen of Nohock Ek",
    "Name": "Mission_AltruismCredits_name",
    "MissionID": 788930122,
    "Donation": "450000",
    "Donated": 450000,
    "FactionEffects": [{
            "Faction": "Noblemen of Nohock Ek",
            "Effects": [{
                    "Effect": "$MISSIONUTIL_Interaction_Summary_EP_up;",
                    "Effect_Localised": "The economic status of $#MinorFaction; has improved in the $#System; system.",
                    "Trend": "UpGood"
                }
            ],
            "Influence": [{
                    "SystemAddress": 5067658962353,
                    "Trend": "UpGood",
                    "Influence": "++"
                }
            ],
            "ReputationTrend": "UpGood",
            "Reputation": "++"
        }
    ]
}

Influence from the MissionAccepted event is not an adequate substitute, since the commander may or may not choose an influence reward after completing a mission.

I've generated a ticket to investigate this further.

Thanks for checking this out, much appreciated. I would assume many CMDRs would find it useful.

For those interested, the issue to follow is #2214
