Continuous Trigger doesnt stay 'true'?

[Knock-Knock]

This is in current 1.58.

 

Experimenting with 'AI On' and 'AI Off' states, so that if for example Blue coalition is outside a given zone, then given Red 'AI Off', and when inside zone then Red 'AI On'. Im using Continuous trigger for this, since that was the only one with which I could achieve the above. Tested with a red unit driving from A to B, so that when blue was outside the trigger zone, AI Off, and when inside zone, AI on. Worked fine. Unit would remain stationary until blue was inside zone, and then start moving until blue was outside zone again.

 

Intend is to limit AI ground units 'scanning' for enemy, and do what ever it is they do. SAM launchers, tanks, APC's you name it, any on the ground that shoots. Nothing moving from A to B.

Big experiment really to limit stress on the system, with a lot of units scattered all around the map. So only have the AI on, where player actually is etc.

 

But it falls short with SAM sites/launchers. Its like their state changes every second, and dont stay true, while X is inside their trigger zone. Can see the SA-10 search radar rotate for 1 sec, stop for 1 sec, rotate for 1 sec etc, and it will keep popping on/off on RWR. SA-11's I never saw on the RWR.

 

Is that the intended function of the Continuous trigger? Seems a bit odd. Id kinda expect it would just check the zone every second, and when something is detected inside the zone, it changes state, and remains like that, until zone is clear again.

Hmm.. If I add the SA-10 S-300PS SR 5N66M to a simple unit inside/outside zone mission, the SA-10 SR has a nice steady rotation and constant presence on RWR when inside the zone.

But in my mission, it will do that 1 sec stop'n go type thing. Nothing special set or added, like advanced waypoint etc. Also if a full SA-10 SAM Site group, works in simple mission test.

 

But why not in my Sandbox? Maybe there is a limit to Continuous triggers, and it goes a little iffy with a lot in there.

Damnit.... brain fade :doh:

 

Had used Part of coalition outside zone, instead of All of coalition outside zone. With 'all of', works like a charm. Hadnt thought that one all the way trough :music_whistling:

Did that in test mission too, but that was just a single blue unit, so it didnt get confused I guess.
