Make AI perform SEAD at spawned groups position

[EasyEB]

I've hit a wall.

 

I'm trying to make an AI plane fly to a spawned ground unit groups position and perform the SEAD task (engage air defences) but I can't for the life of me get anything to work. I've lost my mojo. I need help.

 

If anyone has gotten this to work, please share with me how.

Hey Easy, is this a dynamically spawned group at a random position or one you know the location of?

Engage targets or Engage targets in zone ought to do the trick. No need to know the groupId. The useful thing about SEAD tasking is the AI will be aware of the targets fairly easily as long as it picks it up on RWR, thus it will fly to the target. If its not detecting the targets you will need to modify its flight plan or perhaps just issue an orbit command nearish the target so it would detect and engage.

 

local targetArea = trigger.misc.getZone('whereEver')
local newTask = { 
 id = 'EngageTargetsInZone', 
 params = { 
   point = {x = targetArea.point.x, y = targetArea.point.z}, 
   zoneRadius = targetArea.radius, 
   targetTypes = {'SAM', 'AAA'},  
   priority = 1 
 }
}

Group.getByName('seaders'):getController():pushTask(newTask)

Feef, dynamically spawned.

 

Grimes, thanks! I'll give it a shot. I just need to get a tiny zone on the enemy group but that shouldn't be a problem.
