"Perform Command" "Go to waypoint" turns into "Perform Task" "Go to waypoint"

[NightMan]

Hello all!

 

I'm building a mission just for fun.

I'm trying to add a "Go to waypoint" Command to a Waypoint on an Infantry unit.

After saving the mission the Command turns into a Task "Go to waypoint".

Also, the unit doesn't move to the waypoint I chose.

And I found out (later) that changing the Task on one of the units changes a similar task on the other unit.

Very weird.

One important thing to know about AI, they don't go exactly to their waypoints.

I've noticed anywhere within ~100ft radius is "close enough" for them.

And unfortunately, DCS can't force AI to go to specific coordinates.

 

 

So it's worth noting that it's entirely possible your waypoints are too close to each other, and the AI decides that it's "close enough" that it doesn't need to go anywhere.

(couldn't say on the perform task or command, that one is unusual and I've never noticed if those words ever changed)

No. That's not it.

The waypoints are, in some cases, in opposite ends of a runway.
