Command unit then get them back to their waypoints?

Hi all!

I have a question.

Scenario: I have one JTAC Reaper circling an area (three waypoints with switch waypoint on the last one). Say I command that Reaper (Combined Arms) to bomb a target, then that unit stops acting as a JTAC (I figure it is because I give it a new command via Combined Arms orders). Is there any way to get that unit back into what it was doing before I gave it new commands?

Cheers!

All commands via combined arms erase any previous tasking. With some scripting you could re-assign the default task as designated in the editor. For instance in mist the function getGroupRoute it searches the mission file for the relevant tasking data.

Tell me more about this sorcery!

If the drone started in the air with all of its JTAC and orbit related tasking on the first waypoint, you could create an F10 Other radio menu item to run a script.

Easiest way to do it is to add a menu item to set a flag to true. Then do a trigger "Switched Conditon>flag true> do script and set flag false

In the do script box it'd be as easy as:

mist.goRoute('groupsName', mist.getGroupRoute('groupsName', true))

Thanks alot Grimes! Worked as expected :)

At first I didn't think it worked as the JTAC function did not kick in, but after the Predator had passed a waypoint (and thus activated the JTAC bit) everything was as it should be.
