Forest Rat Posted May 19, 2018 Posted May 19, 2018 Outside of setting waypoints that mirror, any way to script a baddie to actually follow a friendly plane? Thanks.
A Hamburgler Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 Try using MOOSEs CONTROLLABLE.TaskEscort or CONTROLLABLE.TaskFollow
Grimes Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 Tasks in the triggers atuomatically filter certain tasks between teams. For instance you can't make an attack group on a friendly or follow on an enemy. With scripting that limitation is not forced. https://wiki.hoggitworld.com/view/DCS_task_follow The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.

dark_wood Posted May 21, 2018 Posted May 21, 2018 You can build similar way points, then set the ROE to Weapons Hold (for the enemy). Then you can change ROE to Return Fire or Weapons Free, as you wish/need - https://srv0files.eagle.ru/dcs/manuals/DCS_User_Manual_EN.pdf - page 191
Zayets Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 You can simply set a plane to escort your flight. In the advanced waypoint you can assign the task Follow to the flight you want to follow you. Not sure if this works only for groups having CAP mission or not though. Here's a mission I made for SU-33, jump in it and wait to see the second group (which takes off before you) joining on your group. I am using this mission as a campaign start.SU-33-0-1.miz [sIGPIC]OK[/sIGPIC]

With scripting that limitation is not forced. https://wiki.hoggitworld.com/view/DCS_task_follow General functionality of filtering specific tasks in the mission editor makes sense but the follow task should really be allowed between enemy coalitions. Just think about any air-policing missions. F/A-18, F-16, F-14, M-2000C, A-10C, AV-8B, AJS-37 Viggen, F-5E-3, F-86F, MiG-21bis, MiG-15bis, L-39 Albatros, C-101 Aviojet, P-51D, Spitfire LF Mk. IX, Bf 109 4-K, UH-1H, Mi-8, Ka-50, NTTR, Normandy, Persian Gulf... and not enough time to fully enjoy it all
Zayets Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 Ah, my bad. Didn't read carefully the request. It is following between coalitions. Indeed, Follow is not possible [sIGPIC]OK[/sIGPIC]
