Coalition ROE

[Hairdo1-1]

Any possibility to add a trigger to change an entire coalition ROE? It can pretty annoying having to add dozens of AI task push actions for each group and then have to add each group into the trigger as well

There's no such thing as a coalition ROE in DCS, so no, not possible.

Yes I know. Hence why I placed this post in the Wish list section

Yes, you can use a very little script to do that :

Spoiler

function ChangeCoalRoe(Coal, Roe)
--Coal : 0 neutral, 1 red, 2 blue / Roe : 2 openfire, 3 returnfire, 4 holdfire.
for i = 0, 3 do
local AllGroups = coalition.getGroups(Coal, i)
if #AllGroups > 0 then
for j = 1, #AllGroups do
AllGroups[j]:getController():setOption(0, Roe)
end
end
end
end

 

For example, if you want an action trigger to turn red coaltion to hold fire, use ChangeCoalRoe(1, 4) in a "do script" box.

.miz example attached (F18 player surrounded by naval, sam, and mig groups, that start on "hold fire" Roe, and turn to "open fire" at time > 30s).

This uses Roe, but you could also play with "alarm state" instead I guess.
