Paladin1cd Posted March 19, 2023 Posted March 19, 2023 Anyone have a way they have came up with of having ADA troops have a chance of engaging a friendly aircraft? Something like a percentage that could be set hopefully by individual battery?
Grimes Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 That cannot be done. You can only force aircraft to attack friendly units directly. Only team-killing by AI sams will be the accidental variety with the occasional IR system and more likely with a NASAMS if they shoot into a furbal. The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.

You have to play around with different coalitions and invisible / visible states on the fly. I got it working in the ME but it took a few days.

But a PITA to do in the M.E. and something you MUST pre-plan as every other unit you add after the fact needs to adopt all those same triggers and properties. Like I said... HUGE PITA, but it works. Of course if you could flip coalitions on the fly (as I requested in the Wish List last year) then all this overly complicated and excruciating time sink shenanigans goes away... but that's probably never going to happen. Especially with how I now know how the ME 'mission' table works. It would be far easier to make units actively target a specific group or unit (or both) REGARDLESS of it's coalition... that WOULD be possible and not too difficult to add...
