solved Can't get AFAC or JTAC to use the laser instead of WP

[Bertuz]

I'm have build using several tutorials a simple AFAC mission that should use LASER to designate the target. I'm flying a F/A-18 with ATFLIR and GBU-12. 

The AI MQ-Reaper has the AFAC role and will orbit around the targets. I've added an advanced waypoint to do the FAC - Assign Group and linked it to the target. I've set it to use LASER as Designation. 

The problem is that is constantly using WP smoke instead of the laser. It's so frustrating.. I've tried it with laser capable HMMWV as well, but still it using the WP. 

Why doesn't it do what i've configured in the mission editor. I've seen several videos and do exactly the same!

you have two FAC command in your advanced waypoint actions. The second one, the one with the laser command, will not be activated because the first one is still active.

Change the first FAC command to "Perform Waypoint Task" and than "FAC - Assign Group"

Aah thanks man! That will do the trick. I thought the second one would overrule the first one.
