Group out of zone

[Galm99]

Can anyone help me with this issue, I have enabled MIST set an AI flight in a trigger zone to act as a air to air training area set a continuous action so if the group moves out of trigger zone it will deactivate, then I use MIST to respawn the group (once again in the zone and as an continuous action) but this time after respawning it is able to leave the trigger zone and RTB :huh:

 

Is there anyway to fix this so the AI aircraft can never leave the zone with out being deactivated?

 

Many thanks

Once you respawned it, it wasn't the same unit, so you can no longer deactivate it. I'm not great at this so someone else can probably provide the answer more easily.

I see what you mean, I'm looking for some way to keep AI aircraft in a specific zone basically ensuring they will not RTB as I need them to die to be respawned indefinably if they RTB there doesn't seem to be any deactivation of the aircraft when they RTB and are sat on the ramp.

 

The mission is for a MP mission I am creating hence why I need the aircraft to respawn indefinably

most of that is solved in GCICAP script, except airtcraft want to go back to RTB, but if you can wait for that, they will respawn correctly. You can set them to air start in the zone and on respawn also.

I am under the impression that dynamically spawned aircraft are a bit of an issue now- is this not the case?

The only issues I've had provided as a test to try are using a lot of them at once. I don't use it in the same way and don't get issue. YMMV.

hmm scratch that, even testing with a few can cause CTD. I tried an 8v8 an dit crashed a few minutes in.

Sorry to hear it...

 

I hate stacking groups in the ME... and cloning trigger after trigger but that looks like the only reliable option.

 

Sigh.

May I suggest using an F10 radio trigger to trigger the group respawn instead?

 

Add a trigger:

No special type/no conditions

RADIO ITEM ADD (Respawn air targets, 1, 1)

 

Add another:

Type :

SWITCHED CONDITION

Conditions:

FLAG IS TRUE 1

Triggered actions:

mist.respawnGroup ('whatever', true)

FLAG OFF 1

 

Now, whenever the player uses the radio item, it will respawn the target group at their orginal location. Since it also switches its own flag back off after activating, it can be used multiple times as the SWITCHED CONDITION will detect each time flag 1 goes true.
