G.J.S Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 Hello all, I am in NO WAY an expert in the dark arts of mission creation in DCS, but I am wondering if there is a way to limit the AI, specifically airborne, to a certain range from say - a coastline or a certain map point. Currently the AI will happily go on its merry way entirely across a map chasing a target, but what I desire is the ability to limit this. For instance, a CAP flight that will only engage within x amount of miles of a map point, or a box that maybe 60 x 120 miles, the CAP flight will break off and return to patrol should the target leave said area. Taking a coastline for example, can AI be set to only go out x amount of miles? Maybe honoring a boundary? Should either side break that boundary, then “it’s on”. Any pointers or suggestions greatly appreciated. Thank you for reading this far. G.J.S - - - The only real mystery in life is just why kamikaze pilots wore helmets? - - -
razo+r Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 There is an option in advanced waypoint option under a specific task that I can't remember right now that lets you set the engagement range. Don't know how much the AI obeys it but the option is there. Then you just let them fly Waypoint X and at WPT Y you let them switch to WPT X again. As an alternative you could also use trigger zones and flags to either turn Free Fire on or off for the AI. There's also the MOOSE dispatcher that lets you do that with scripts. If a unit is within a border, the script gets a flight going to the intruders. https://flightcontrol-master.github.io/MOOSE_DOCS/Documentation/AI.AI_A2A_Dispatcher.html 1
