How to make a potential engagement on CAP mission?

[TMP95]

I'm interested in making a mission with a random chance that a potential enemy aircraft goes hostile.  Say similar to USN and Libya incidents. 

Currently I put opfor aircraft at HOLD weapons status. They don't engage me on merge but if I swoop in behind them after merge they go hot at some point.

 

Is there another way to do this?

 

Thanks

One way to go about it. Create a moving zone around enemy units. Once you enter it, trigger a random number generator that sets flag to true or false based on whatever probability you desire. Set another trigger that changes their weapon status based on that flag (true=weapons free, or designated only, with you as a target; false=hold).

Thanks!! I'll try that.

How to i create a moving zone??

[TMP95]

I figured out the moving zone. But have no clue how to set flags appropriately

Still wondering about this. How to trigger random hostile or non hostile responses of other aircraft

Could you use triggers and advance waypoint actions? Like once you hit that trigger there is a chance for that action to activate. I'll look at it when I get home and see what I can come up with.

Thanks much! For taking a look!

Since you know how to do the moving zone. What you do is create a route like shown. Make sure to delete the hostile units way point actions and add your own on the first way point. Set ROE to weapons hold and set last point to land at an air base. Add trigger actions to the hostile aircraft, icon looks like a quad drone. ROE - Weapons Free, Search then Engage, and last one switch way point to the landing point.

If you have any question on the triggers let me know. I made a mission where you start in the air behind a mig29 in a f16. Once you get within 5miles or so the mig will either attack or return to base. I made a message popup to see if my triggers were working so you dont need them. If you dont have the f16 just replace it with something you do have.

No problem. Again if you have questions I'll do my best to explain them. I'm not the best at explaining things.

No problem! You can now use that and implement it in your own mission. Good luck with your endeavors. Fly safe
