Visible before (late) activation for planes


RWC

Recommended Posts

Hi developers,

Is it possible to add the 'visible before activation' to late activated planes/AI on the ground ? See it there for all ground vehicles. This will be great while editing a mission to see the supporting planes already parked instead of popping up suddenly.

 

Thanks in advance

+1, I swear it used to be there.

You can set them to Uncontrolled to have them visible already, and add a trigger to the aircraft group to start them.
Then have them start with a general trigger.

I cannot check now, but at least that used to be the way I do it.

Yep, you can do that, and it's functionally identical.

Simply check 'uncontrolled' (aircraft must be set to take off from parking/ground), then in 'triggered actions' -> 'perform command' -> 'Start'

Then in the triggers, you need to set one up (type and conditions are up to you), but in action use 'AI task push' or 'AI task set' and select the triggered start action.

This is exactly why it is easier for all of us to just have the mark box added by the programmers and be done with it instead of having to take all these steps , right ?

Correct, but then again I have no idea how easy or complex it would be for them to implement this.
I would love for instance, to have the ability to do the same with Client slots on a server: Have the airplanes visible on the ramp, before a client actually occupies them.
