reported Huey AI won`t land on LHA1

[GspotMP]

Hey there everybody! After now hours of trying in the ME, I couldn`t figure out the failure. AI Huey takes off the Tarawa (LHA-1, Vanilla), does his route as ordered, and as soon as it enters the landing route, climbs up to max ceiling height over the ship and stays there! Anyone else had this bug....feature...whatever?

Hi, 

when we test with a basic mission all is ok. can you please give a track replay example with no unofficial mods so we can try to reproduce what you are seeing. 

thanks

I`m on it too, getting closer to the problem! It somehow must have to do with a trigger action or a advanced waypoint action.

I´ve rebuilt the mission from beginning and going step by step to figure out when that behavior starts.

Only thing not official, is the livery of the Huey, anything else is vanilla.

I´ve attached two files, one failure and one working!

please attach the track replay or mission we can take a look also

thanks

While working on it, I´ve overwritten the file (good job, I know) and now I can`t reproduce the failure  try to get back where it happens, then I´ll upload.

Ok sounds good, maybe the save fixed the issue.

Ok, got it! It has something to do with an Insurgent Unit, getting activated by trigger action and fire at point command! Here`s the both track files, failing and working! Also the mission file.

Ok that is odd. 

Would it be possible to reproduce on Caucasus terrain with only the units required to show the problem. I will ask the team to run it in our debug version. 

thank you  

[GspotMP]

I`ll try 

you´re welcome

[GspotMP]

Yes Sir  it`s the same on Caucasus! Here the track and mission file

Landing_Fail_Caucasus.trk Caucasus_test_base.miz

[BIGNEWY]

thank you we will investigate

[GspotMP]

If I place the insurgent unit more far away, the failure does not happen! Maybe it has to do with the reaction of the AI Huey, by seeing/discovering the INS-Unit.

Well, I hope you`ll can work with it and be able to fix it  I can`t really remember, but as far as I know it worked in the past

[GspotMP]

And, by the way  another thing that got me, is that if I´m starting a mission on the ground with a wingman and want to board troops before I take off, even if the order to "share" the troops to both helos, they won`t do it. they`ll all try to board my (player) helo then.

If this is a thing to a new topic, I´ll place one.

Need to search my mission files and see if I still have one to upload

 

thanks in advance

I will report this issue with the AI failing to land at the carrier after the trigger, but for the other issue a new report is best. 

thank you
