AI Ready to taxi message

[84-Simba]

Hi guys !

I'd like to create an automatic radio message for the AI to inform me that they are starting to taxi. I think I can use an argument but I have no idea how it works.

Can someone enlight me on this and how I can achieve that ?

 

Thx

Place a small trigger zone in front of the AI lead, then an aircraft in zone trigger can generate the radio message.

Well, I thought about that but understanding those argument things (if they are usable) would help clear the airfield of a multitude of trigger zones and it would be great for other things, like bingo, weapon release and other stuff ...

As far as I know, ARGUMENTS can be checked on triggers using these two conditions:

 

UNIT’S ARGUMENT IN RANGE, used for checking animation argument for any 3D model in mission

PLAYER’S UNIT ARGUMENT IN RANGE, used for checking animation arguments for player’s 3D model of unit in mission

 

It seems to me that these triggers can only detect animation events, like flaps and gear movement, canopy open/close, etc. I doubt it helps to detect if an  aircraft begins taxi, or its bingo level. It might be used to detect weapons delivery, but I have never tried them myself. To get the valid arguments you would have to use the ModelViewer utility.

Thanks.

I'll work on that

why not check the units speed? unit speed higher than condition.
