Mission Editor Request: AI Search zone types

[Tom P]

I'm requesting that we can make the search zone with the current circle option but also with a quad point option. The same as what we can do for trigger zones. 
Currently the AI option for (start enroute task > Search then engage in zone.) Is only a radius set up by distance in feet. 

For example if we are making a dedicated red air zone we could adjust the zone with quad point to be more accurate to a known zone vs a giant radius. This would also able to any AI with the search then engage in zone option.

More options for AI tasking would be nice. Along with different shapes, being able to edit the 50% disengage radius is needed. The logic behind having is sound but for large zones it quickly becomes too big and for small zones it becomes too small.

The existing other engage tasks also need some tweaking.

Yes would absolutely love to assign a trigger zone to be the zone the AI searches in, instead of being limited to a circle.

If this is added, the way point action should be called search kill box.

That would be nice as a killbox is a thing

Exactly why I suggested it. We would have a clear distinction and it would use a real term to do it.
