SAM Triggers

[Oh-Zee]

I am working on a Vietnam map and have put a SAM unit in place around a helo FARP and can't get them to fire. The units I have placed in action are the SAM HAWK TR AN/MPQ-46 & SAM HAWK LN M192. I have set triggers to weapons free in both waypoint triggers and triggers without any success. Am I missing another unit to make these work or are my triggers wrong ? I have gone through the manual but it's a little out dated.

I don't think your triggers are wrong. Without seeing your mission file, try placing the SAM units slightly further out from the FARP. Often ground units behave in bizarre ways if they're too close to other things.

Did you place the SAM units into one group or are TR and LN different groups?

[Oh-Zee]

I think I put them as one group, but not sure as trigger set up is new to me. I labeled them different and they were two different items in the trigger.

Do certain units need to be together or do you just need a radar and launcher ?

you don't need triggers to make them function, unless you want them to only fire at specific distances or times, ect.

 

the only need to be in one group and the radar needs to see the vehicle, and have line of sight to the missile launcher (other wise the missile explodes on launch).

 

also radar wont see helicopters unless they are above 140km/h
