fixed Tasking individual AI to refuel makes other flight members unresponsive

[MBot]

Please watch the following setup in attached track.

 

1. Flight Aerial-1 of 4 aircraft is tasked to orbit.

2. 30 seconds into the mission, Aerial-1-4 is given a refueling task:

 

[code]

refuel = {
    ["id"] = "Refueling",
    ["params"] = {},
}

Unit.getByName("Aerial-1-4"):getController():setTask(refuel)

[/code]

 

3. Aerial-1-1 to Aerial-1-3 go dumb immediately, flying off into the distance with the parameters they had last.

4. Once Aerial-1-4 has completed refueling, 1 to 3 wake up again and head back to their orbit.

 

This seems to be an issue specifically with the refueling task. Tasking individual aircraft of an AI flight to do other things works.

Has this bug been acknowledged?

 

I am trying to build missions with cyclic carrier ops, for which it is essential to send aircraft from the Marshal to a recovery tanker individually. Individual tasking is essential to control the amount of fuel that each aircraft receives (offload fuel by the recovery tanker is limited and must be distributed among all aircraft in the recovery cycle). All scripting is complete but is voided by the above bug.

Reported. It is also a step extra broken in test build as -4 won't attempt to connect.

Interesting.  I'm finding it impossible to build carrier ops missions with refueling as well.  Looking forward to a fix.

Can be marked as resolved. Thank you.
