engageGroup example?

[EasyEB]

Greetings!

 

I can't for the life of me get engageGroup to work, could someone please post an example code? Say group Blue1 is to engage group Red1.

Advanced WP Tasks, of the group Blue1. Add engage group, choose Red1 in the left box with the task details.

Take care the groups are close enough to each other, or drive towards each other and actually have a line if sight. You can only attack what you see...

Verify, you have no settings in advance WP action s like "ALARM state Green", ROE to hold fire etc.

Shit, I'm sorry, I meant in script. Thanks for taking the time though!

Ah, ok. If I remember correct, the groups (objects in general) are identified by a unique object ID#, not the readable name in the script engine.

There is a '?' symbol behind the Group name, click on it. It shows the object/group ID.

Careful, if you delete a group and create a new one, even with the exact same settings and name, you need to adjust the ID in the script!

That is why MIST and MOOSE have functions to "find Group by name" and return the ID.

Should be something like this:

 

local task = {id = "EngageGroup", params = {id = Group.getByName('Red1'):getID()}}

Group.getByName('Blue1'):getController():pushTask(task)

I'll give it a shot, thanks!

 

Hopefully Blue1 will too.

 

I'll show myself out.
