AI Harriers not attacking oil platforms....

[Chewmann]

I am trying to create a mission where a group of AI Harriers are attacking multiple oil rigs in the Persian Gulf.  However, they do not attack them.  They fly over them via WP and then head back to base.

Here's a brief description of the way I have it setup.

WP 3 is ~ 6nm from the rigs.  I have added "attack map object" under the advanced WP actions for each oil rig. 

WP 4 is directly amongst the rigs

What should I do?

Map Objects are default generated buildings. There are no map objects to attack, statics count as units.

Change "attack map object" to "bombing".

Thanks Exorcet!  That worked.  Now if you can tell me the secret on how to make them hit the target...

AI using the bombing task drop the bombs exactly on the marker, so you have to make sure that the little triangle is centered on the oil platform.

I made the targets oil derricks on the island as they either weren't attacking (I have them going in at 100’j or not damaging the oil rigs, depending on the weapons I put on them.

Now, with rockets, they are attacking the oil derricks, but after destroying them, they keep attacking the same target though I have 3 targets per section.  Argh!

I didn't have issues getting them to bomb rigs on the sea. My mission is attached.

Perhaps they think they need to destroy the derrick as well? Are the derricks the same coalition as the harriers and only the targets ON the derricks as a different coalition?
