VAF [136] Striker Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) I checked all the forums and I didn't see this mentioned before, at least not for DCS 1.5. I would like to see a simple "repeat path" option in the mission builder for ground units. Arma has it so when you're creating waypoints for units and they reach an end point or actually any point you can just have them repeat the same path from it's origin. I've seen DCS missions where there are just massive numbers of path loops to simulate or to kind of do this behavior. I think that having all of those waypoints adds a lot of unnecessary code. A simple repeat path option would clean up a lot of missions and make the job of mission editors a lot easier. Edited July 21, 2016 by 75th-VFS-Striker Clarified that I meant to add this feature for ground units!

Home Fries Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 In the advanced waypoint options,you have the option to Switch waypoint (current, next), which can create a loop. For example, you can set up a box patrol of 4 waypoints (0-3), then at waypoint 3 select Perform Command -> Switch Waypoint (3,0), which will repeat the path. -Home Fries My DCS Files and Skins My DCS TARGET Profile for Cougar or Warthog and MFDs F-14B LANTIRN Guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAF [136] Striker Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) OK, I tried it and that option is not available. I placed a ground vehicle and 4 waypoints and went into advanced waypoint options for the last waypoint. There's nothing in the perform command for switch waypoint. Can you explain what step I might be missing?

VAF [136] Striker Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 OK, it's part of the advanced waypoint options for aircraft but not for ground units. I understand that it can be done with MIST but this should be and option in the builder. If it can be in there for aircraft there's really no reason for it to not be available for ground units.

Can you explain what step I might be missing? Sorry, missed the part where you specified ground vehicles. My bad. :doh: EDIT: +1 for the wishlist. If you can loop aircraft, you should be able to do the same for ground units and ships. -Home Fries My DCS Files and Skins My DCS TARGET Profile for Cougar or Warthog and MFDs F-14B LANTIRN Guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAF [136] Striker Posted May 21, 2020 Author Share Posted May 21, 2020 We have it for other units, why not for ships yet, and will this ever be implemented?
