Alert Takeoff trigger

[Seaside]

Hi : I'm fairly new with the mission editor and have a question.

 

Is there a way to set a trigger to have AI aircraft takeoff and try to intercept you if you approach within a pre-set range ?

 

I've been looking through the editor manual and I know you can spawn a group on an airfield if you approach but can you have that flight takeoff and try to intercept you regardless of which direction you are approaching from ? Without having to define waypoints.

 

I used to have Janes f-18 installed and the process was quite simple. Place the aircraft on airfield, define a reaction range and if you approached within that distance they would takeoff and try to intercept you.

 

If we cannot do that it would be a nice feature.

 

Thanks

It is possible. :)

 

Put an enemy group on airfield, tick Uncontrolled. Create "Start" triggered action for it.

 

Place a zone on desired location (i.e. your airfield), with desired radius.

 

Create new trigger with condition "Unit inside zone", select your unit and the zone you created. Select AI task push action and select <enemy group> / Start.

 

To make sure the enemy doesn't just circle around after takeoff, you can put Perform Task/Attack group advanced waypoint action.

Great ! Will give it a try

The default CAP tasking added when you place a fighter on the map will cause that aircraft to take off and attack anything within its sensor range. Adding an EWR or AWACS will increase aircraft's ability to detect and engage targets.
