JTAC hardly refuses communications at second designated target

Hi folks,

after experimenting with JTACs, I have to come back to this forum to post problems, and maybe I get some hints / tips / strategies to improve my JTAC.

What I want:

Have the Humvee drive on the street, "FAC assign group" for waypoint 3 and "FAC Engage Group" on waypoint 5, on two different groups.

First is a BTR 80 group, consisting of 3 units

Second is a ZSU23 group, consisting of 1 unit

After JTAC gave me the correct comms for killing the first group at waypoint 3 with rockets I killed the group.

Then, having the Humvee correctly stopped at waypoint 5, the JTAC refuses to answer any requests. No comms available then.

233 MHz AM is set for both waypoints, stop commando is set in sequence "after" the JTAC commando.

Nothing special happens at waypoint 4.

See both pictures:

What is wrong?

EDIT: see more details below, since this single post was linked somewhere else and thus may lead to "missing" infos ... I already collected much more infos, see below...

Try adding "START" and "STOP" conditions to the advanced waypoint actions for both JTACs

Try adding "START" and "STOP" conditions to the advanced waypoint actions for both JTACs

I did this already!

Start condition is a LUA predicate looking like this:

local grp = Group.getByName('BTR-80 Platoon 18')
if grp ~= nil then
 if #grp:getUnits() > 0 then
   return true
 else
   return false
 end
end

End condition is a LUA predicate looking like this:

local grp = Group.getByName('BTR-80 Platoon 18')
if grp ~= nil then
 if #grp:getUnits() < 1 then
   return true
 else
   return false
 end
end

for the second target the start condition is:

local grp = Group.getByName('ZSU-23-4 Shilka 21')
if grp ~= nil then
 if #grp:getUnits() > 0 then
   return true
 else
   return false
 end
end

and end condition:

local grp = Group.getByName('ZSU-23-4 Shilka 21')
if grp ~= nil then
 if #grp:getUnits() < 1 then
   return true
 else
   return false
 end
end

of course the hold commands are having the exact same LUA predicates for start and stop conditions.

Additional info:

I placed a third target after the second. After killing the second target without the help of JTAC (just bombed the ZSU from the map) they answered my next requests, but in this case I have to request all infos twice.

But some requests are then not answered, or answered twice (9-line) for example.

There must be a problem with within the communication protocol for JTAC, please ED check this out. Thanks!
