Triggering Cruise missile strike thru F10 radio option

[Punisher74]

I'm creating a missile where towards the end Id like to trigger a cruise missile strike on a compound. Which would trigger a escape buy a general. No I have on on destroy command to activate the general running. But on start of the mission the destroyer launches the missiles without my order. How do I setup the trigger so f10 fires them.

Try setting destroyer's ROE to "weapons hold" at the beginning of the mission, and then add "weapons free" as a trigger once you use the F10 option.

When I added the destroyer I added a trigger action to fire on 3 points. Figuring the radio option when pressed would launch them. Much like you would trigger a push of a air strike package.

Hey Raptor-

Assuming you've already set up your radio message with flag 1-

 

Click on your destroyer, make sure WP0 (will be called SP in Eastern aircraft) is selected.

 

Click ADVANCED WAYPOINT ACTIONS

Click SET OPTION -> ROE -> WEAPON HOLD

Click STOP CONDITION

Click IS USER FLAG

Type "1"

Make sure box is checked to indicated flag is TRUE (also called ON in some areas of the ME)

 

Your destroyer should start the mission without firing. When you make your radio call, his WEAPON HOLD order will be lifted and he should return to the default WEAPON FREE task and fire on nearby enemies.

 

If you are trying to get him to only fire at the specific point you set up using the TRIGGERED ACTIONS menu, I -think- keeping him set to WEAPON HOLD is the right move.

 

 

If that is the case, it will be a similar approach; just remove the STOP CONDITION from the WEAPON HOLD action so it remains active-

 

Once the destroyer is set to WEAPON HOLD with no STOP CONDITION, click the triggers menu

Add a trigger, name it "Cruise missiles launch" or whatever you like.

In the second column, add FLAG IS TRUE (1) - this will check for when you use your radio message, once per second

In the third column, add AI TASK PUSH, you should then be able to select the tasking you set up in your TRIGGERED ACTIONS with the drop-down menu.

 

I think that AI TASK PUSH will still function, even with the destroyer set to WEAPON HOLD.

 

Make sure to share your mission when it's finished, this sounds cool :)

Thanks will do, to be honest it's the first mission in a campaign I'm designing taking place in 2014. Similar to the Ukraine incident, but with a spin that the U.S. got fully involved. The mission will be called troops in contact the retaking of Poti. I'm flying it tomorrow to see if the all the trigger fire correctly. And the vehicle movement timing is correct, so you're not just continuously flying over the city waiting for the ground forces to trigger the triggers. Since the battle starts when the recon patrol is ambushed. I wanted the mission to start while the pilots in the air and not on the ground at the airport starting up. if it all goes well add realtime voiceover and so on. Will post mission if all well tomorrow.

I tried it, but the Set Waypoint options when setting the option for Weapons hold there is no stop condition

By all means this is not the finished product, but I said I'd post this. Be aware there are AAA hidden By every airport that's red.

 

Enjoy
