fixed Does capturing FARPs actually work?

[moespeeds]

I attempted to learn scripting tonight, and have given up for now, that garbage is way, waaay over my head. I'm back to the DCS ME, which I understand well.

 

I'm attempting to create a mission where blue captures red FARPs. When my blue vehicles drive into the vicinity of the FARP, my late activation M818, HMMV, & HEMTT spawn on the FARP, but it remains red. There are no other red units nearby.

 

Is this another broken ME feature, or am I missing something here?

[feefifofum]

Newly broken, if broken. It was working a couple months ago. Are you certain all hostile units have been removed from the vicinity?

[moespeeds]

I tested with a red FARP in the middle of nowhere, with no units on it.

 

I'll have to test it again in a blank mission.

You need at least one ARMED vehicle reaching the FARP to "capture" it. A HEMTT or M118 won't do.

It does work fine, it was an error on my part.

 

The FARP captures, and functions normally, it just doesn't change color from red to blue on the map. It must have something to do with the scripting on the clear field map I'm modifying, as it does change color on a blank mission.

Yeah that particular bug has been present for years now. I thought it just didnt change colour at all. But it might be a multiplayer thing or just being funky, but it was absolutely not 100% working fine in the core game.

 

Capturing itself has always worked and still does though.
