RichardG Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Im trying to do the simplest damn thing, but this editor is a nightmare. I want AI Aircraft lined up on the ramp, cold, then then start up and takeoff when a condition is set. Theres no way to edit aircraft behavior on waypoint "0" (zero) at startup, at least not that I can find. They start up and takeoff immediately. I'm not writing lua scripts, so if there isnt a way to do it without that forget it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmy Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 "Start" can be a triggered action [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] http://www.476vfightergroup.com/content.php High Quality Aviation Photography For Personal Enjoyment And Editorial Use. www.crosswindimages.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kang Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 The editor has check boxes for 'Late activation', I believe, and 'Visible before start'. If you set them both, they will appear on your airbase but not move. You can then activate them through a trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feefifofum Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 (edited) Wrong-o....that only applies to ground units. Furthermore, just for your reference, the last time I checked ground vehicles that were started in this manner did not report their movement to client aircraft in multiplayer, meaning only the server sees the units move. For ground units, your best option is to use GROUP AI OFF/ON or GROUP STOP/RESUME depending on whether you want them to fire/react to threats. For aircraft: Place your group, program their flight plan, and set them to "takeoff from ramp" Check the "uncontrolled" option. Do NOT check late activation. Go to the triggered actions tab (next to advanced waypoint actions) Click add -> perform command-> start When the desired conditions are met, use the AI TASK PUSH trigger to start your groups. Honestly we need a sticky explaining how to do this somewhere...this comes up at least once a month.
