AI Task Push Problem

[tmansteve]

Not sure what's wrong. I set up 4 planes to escort after landing at airfield. I added a radio button and used AI  Task Push to Start. Added trigger Start to planes and set to Uncontrolled. After I land, I taxi near them then use the F10 Other to initiate Start. The planes engines start up but do not move to takeoff. I tested again by placing a plane on the airfield next to them. I used the F10 Other button and engines spooled up and after 4mins, they started to taxi.

Is it to do with the time set for initial takeoff? Is there any other trigger I can use other than AI Task Push?

I tried AI Active but with no luck. Any ideas appreciated

Perhaps the task is failing because you're on the ground when you ask them to escort? Try when you're in a hold over the airfield or get them to start-up and take-off and hold pattern as a default mode so tasking them via F10 is faster / easier.

Thanks for the reply Pravus.

I have tried it in multiple scenarios and nothing happening, but works with others in some missions. What I have done is, have the planes Takeoff From Parking Hot, then place a vehicle near the front of the first making the Truck Hold and changed the triggers to the Truck and it works great.

What I will do is try this with different planes, airfields etc and see what happens.

I like the problem solving lol! The tasking system is a huge pita for this reason, clearly it doesnt like something you did but the unit will ignore it and keep quiet about the mistake. It's character building...

If you want to post or DM me the code I can sanity check if you like.

Cheers for the offer but I think I will restart again as all other missions work OK. If something doesnt work, I will always find a way round it.

 

Thanks
