JHzlwd Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 Thought I had this fixed last week by ensuring non-zero speed in final waypoint but the problem has returned. In a new mission I place several units to form an on-road convoy and assigned several waypoints, each with a non-zero speed but typically 20k to 50 k. The convoy simply remains stuck at the starting position no matter what. A ZSU escort which is part of the convoy will fire at me as I approach but it is parked just like the trucks. Any suggestions appreciated. I examined some of the canned missions to discover what I might be doing wrong but can see no differences in the way ground units are handled.

STP Dragon Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 Hi JHzlwd, Try to drag and drop the convoy to an other road or move it to a other place on the actual road. Then tell us what happend. Maybe it is a problem with the road, maybe with the convoy. Ah... do you have infantry in this convoy?

JHzlwd Posted March 15, 2010 Author Posted March 15, 2010 Hi JHzlwd, Try to drag and drop the convoy to an other road or move it to a other place on the actual road. Then tell us what happend. Maybe it is a problem with the road, maybe with the convoy. Ah... do you have infantry in this convoy? Hi Dragon. Much thanks. Your comments may have led me to the answer. After experimenting I discovered the problem is almost certainly the mix of units in the convoy. Specifically, the ZU-23 in my case. Whether the ZU is in front or at the back, nothing moves. If I replace it with SA-9 "Strela" everyone rolls. The ZU-23 is a towed gun but from what I see (when I can get close enough) is that it is always set up and ready to go *when part of a convoy* so everyone stops. If I place the ZU-23 in a group of its own, it moves. Seems odd. Is it supposed to be this way?

MBot Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 Hi Dragon. Seems odd. Is it supposed to be this way? Yes. As you correctly found out, the ZU-23-2 is a stationary gun that can not move on its own (and towing isn't modeled). I suggest to try the Ural Zu-23-2 combination (the gun mounted on the back of a truck) or the ZSU-23-4 self-propelled AA-gun which both can move.
