How to delay AI ground troops attacking one another.

[Aussie Pilot]

Hi Guy's.

I'm making an Apache mission where we fly in to support ground troops under attack from insurgents. However by the time we get there most of the fighting is over.

Currently I have a trigger set to spawn the enemy insurgents as we fly into the area but ideally I would like both groups of AI in place from mission start but not to attack one another until the Apaches arrive. I don't understand how to set the ROE for either side so that they will hold fire until we arrive in the Apaches and set off a trigger for them to attach each other.

I can't find much info on this one anywhere.

Thank you.

Well after being inundated with helpful messages  I actually figured it out and thought I'd share what I found for others.

Under trigger actions there is "Group AI off" and "Group AI on" which basically turns them off and on. You can have them in your mission staring at one another but they won't engage one another until the trigger turns them on to do so. 

I found it helpful in that when you fly into the area you don't all of a sudden have everything spawn all at once right in front of you and start blazing away.
