Kyridious Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Does anyone have an example mission demonstrating how to task a spawned AC to attack another spawned AC? I thought I had this working a long time ago (1.5) but I have not been able to get it to work in 2.1 / Normandy. I've tried a bunch of variations along the lines of ... [font=Fixedsys]local sg1 = SPAWN:New( "FW190" ) local sg2 = SPAWN:New( "P51D" ) local g1 = sg1:SpawnFromVec3(Vec3) local g2 = sg2:SpwanFromVec3(Vec3) g1Name = g1:GetName() g2Name = g2:GetName() // Delay X seconds using a SCHEDULER to allow time for the // sim to create controllers for the newly spawned groups, // then task g1 to attack g2 local g1 = GROUP:FindByName(g1Name) local g2 = GROUP:FindByName(g2Name) local myTask = g1:TaskAttackGroup(g2) g1:SetTask(myTask,1)[/font] The usual outcome is: 1] Assets spawn normally 2] Any default tasking for sg1 (as defined for the spawn group in the ME) is discarded / overwritten (indicating that _something_ is happening) 3] g1 ignores attack group command Cheers!

RAF_Raven Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 (edited) Hello, give this a try P51group = GROUP:FindByName("P51D") P51spawn = SPAWN:New( "P51D" ):Spawn() FWspawn = SPAWN:New( "FW190" ) :OnSpawnGroup( function (SpawnGroup) Task = SpawnGroup:TaskAttackGroup( P51group ) SpawnGroup:PushTask(Task, 5) end ) :Spawn() Edited September 19, 2017 by RAF_Raven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyridious Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 Thanks Raven. I was able to make both our approaches work last night in a barebones mission with distant targets. More testing is required, but I suspect things begin to break down if the AC are spawned & tasked within detection distance of each other. Perhaps it has to do with threat level? (Not sure how AI interpret client threat level). Regardless, I'll update this thread as I learn more. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
