mist.dynAdd: task the added plane to attack the player

[fanqi1234]

Ultimately, I'm trying to use dynAdd to add an AI plane near the player, but I'm not sure how can I task this dynamically added AI plane to attack the player.

 

The unit spawns, does nothing, and tries to land at nearest airport.

 

I tried to use controller pushTask to push an "AttackUnit" task, but after that the controller:hasTask() still shows false.

 

 

I suspect that's because the "core AI behaviour" determined by the group's Role isn't set, but I'm unable to figure out how to do that in the documents.

 

 

So, is it a correct way to use pushTask to task a dynamically added air unit using mist.dynAdd?

If so then why hasTask shows false after pushTask?

Sounds like you need to give it at least a basic route as you spawn it. AI ignore any new tasking given if they initiate their RTB procedures. You'd need to add a route parameter with a couple of waypoints. It basically is this: https://wiki.hoggitworld.com/view/DCS_task_mission

 

But obviously not all of those entries are needed. IIRC it just needs x, y, alt, speed. Give it a couple waypoints and at least a decent distance. You can also embed the attack unit task into it directly if you want to.
