Mission editor doubt

[Stratos]

I want to attack a enemy camp, is well protected and it have some bunkers I can't destroy so I will need a plane to do the big job. How Can I make the Friendly AI planes attack their targets ONLY after I destroyed the AAA and SAMS?

So my idea is aproach enemy camp, destroy AAA and SAMS and let the freidnly AI to destroy the big buildings. Is possible?

It should be possible using precise targeting for the AI planes and using trigger starting once the AA and Sams group are dead.

Yes, set up the following -

 

Place your aircraft that you want to attack the buildings on the map, give them a name, plot a route, select a payload and assign their target, then set the "Hold Time" to 23 hours.

 

Next, set up the following trigger -

 

Once

 

AAA - (group name) dead

SAM - (group name) dead

 

Activate (group name) of aircraft you set up for the bomb run.

 

I'd recommend you read the GUI manual, there are specific limitations and requirements to be sure your aircraft aquire their target correctly.

 

enjoy

yeah, you need a steerpoint before the targetarea, from this steerpoint you need to assign a targetarea which covers the bunkers and stuff, and define the targets for that targetpoint as "buildings" and/or "statics".

 

the aircraft must be able to aquire the target (visually or by sensors), otherwise it will do nothing.

 

you can also add 2 targetpoints defined as POINT, then the aircraft will drop all the bombs between these 2 points in 1 run (carpetbombing).
