pete_auau Posted June 16, 2018 Posted June 16, 2018 I seem to missing a step here some where since when flying into a trigger zone i made and exiting it it suppose to activated 2 migs but they never show up these are the steps i made in the mission editor 1 Selected the trigger zone along my flight path 2 trigger zone box type 1 once only event no event 3 conditions part of coalition in zone blue( new trigger zone) 4 action group activate (mig21) action group activate group21 in the aircraft selection put the migs on the enemy airfield started them on the ground, task was intercept, set the waypoints, ticked the late activation box
feefifofum Posted June 16, 2018 Posted June 16, 2018 With the "Intercept" task you have to give them specific instructions. Try the general CAP tasking and be sure there are adequate sensors available to red for you to be detected. The MiG-21's own sensor suite is very limited and if they cannot detect you they won't engage. A red EWR should be sufficient. THE GEORGIAN WAR - OFFICIAL F-15C DLC

falken76 Posted June 17, 2018 Posted June 17, 2018 I think feefifofum is right. But when you make your group of planes did you assign them parking spots on the airport through the menu? and select take off from ramp. If you set their task to CAP they'll follow your waypoints that you set for them and will engage if they see you from that path. Your triggers conditions and actions are correct. Late activate is being used correctly. I'm wondering if starting them on the ground at an enemy airfield is causing a problem though.
pete_auau Posted June 17, 2018 Author Posted June 17, 2018 thx will try again, once i master this simple one the rest should be a piece of cake:)

Ok now i feel like a idiot now, you kind of pointed me in the right direction, found out i had named 3 enemy units with mig21 so changed that mistake started the migs from the hangar. As i flew thru the trigger point check the view to check if they would spawn, yep they sure did one problem though lol they tried to taxi out with the door shut lol then they both ejected. Guess have to start them from the runway:)
feefifofum Posted June 17, 2018 Posted June 17, 2018 Just be aware runway starts only work in single player. Select "takeoff from ramp" and you'll see a new field "PRK" appear next to the waypoint type. You can use this to choose a parking space not in a shelter, of those are acting up on you.
