HR-Crumble Posted June 25, 2024 Posted June 25, 2024 This has been an ongoing ‘feature’ of ground units for many years now and I’m not sure if it’s intended or just an overlooked bug. Scenario: Mission editor making a miz that has an AI ground convoy HOLD at a certain waypoint until a helo/aircraft destroys some enemies up the road. Once the enemy GROUP IS DEAD trigger is activated I want the convoy to move to the next Waypoint along the road. AI set to ON ROAD. Issue: Triggers works fine and the convoy sets off but it does not stay on the road. It makes a direct compass bee line for the next waypoint you set it move to in Advanced section and it goes cross country. This isn’t helpful as it’s a. Slower, b. Not what I asked and c. They often get stuck in woods/buildings etc. How do you make them stay on the road?

Maybe try to workaround this by giving them another WP just a few meters ahead of the one with HOLD action?

Does it work over long distances between WPs as well, say 10k +? Thanks so much for sharing I’ll give that a blast tonight and report back! crumble
