Moki Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Good afternoon all, I am fairly new at this game and I have been playing around in the mission editor. My question is how to get the Enemy AI (Red) to attack me or my squad? I set their trigger to navigate and then engage ( I dont remmeber the proper words it used). Basically my issue is I see the 4 enemy planes having a waypoint line attached to my plane but as I move closer they are just flying around and then land. Any assistance would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy55 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Hi Moki, I am very new to it as well but I got AI fighters to attack by setting their task to CAP or similar and gave them waypoints over some ground units I was attacking. I hope that helps a bit.

Exorcet Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 The AI lands when it reaches the end of its waypoints. If they don't detect enemies before then, they will land. They will also land if they don't have any tasks. Setting a specific role from the list (like CAP, Fighter Sweep, etc) gives them a default task. If you want the fighters to stay in the air for a long time, you need to setup an orbit. Do this by opening Advanced Waypoint options > Perform Task > Orbit. The orbit can be a circle around a waypoint or a racetrack between the waypoint and the next waypoint. You can also attach your mission as a file so people can download and see what's wrong.

Moki Posted June 20, 2019 Author Share Posted June 20, 2019 Thank you all for the comments. I have attached the mission file for you to take a look at. I will try to do the orbit and the fighter sweep to see if that helps. Again I appreciate you all helpingF-18 shit.miz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exorcet Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I made changes to the mission and I explained them on the briefing panel in the mission file. The F-5's were put into one flight so they're easier to manage. I saw that you had a Search and Engage task in triggered actions. But these needs to be activated by a trigger. Yours would never turn on. I added a trigger to turn on the task after 10 minutes. The task isn't needed because the F-5's are set to CAP with an orbit now, but you can use the mission changes I made as a reference.F-18 shit modified.miz Awaiting: DCS F-15C Win 10 i5-9600KF 4.6 GHz 64 GB RAM RTX2080Ti 11GB -- Win 7 64 i5-6600K 3.6 GHz 32 GB RAM GTX970 4GB -- A-10C, F-5E, Su-27, F-15C, F-14B, F-16C missions in User Files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
