33rd_Havoc Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 Hey Guys i have a problem to make my SMERCH group firing at a point. I have a group of 2 SMERCH MRLS in the city of sukhumi and they should fire at the beginning of the game into the village of merkheuli, but they dont doing anything. They just staying around and do nothing. I also tryed to give them 2 waypoints and at the last they should go in firing position, but as before they dont firing their missiles. I also put them into the right direction to the target area but this also didnt help Any ideas? Greetings Havoc
Schnarre Aggro Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 yeah... got some ideas ... tried that the last time for myself and i had similar issues ... 1. try to give em maximal intelligence - i thinks its "expert" 2. it takes about 5min until they fire ... so just wait a little longer ;-) 3. check the distance to the target - i tried with 20km/doesnt work for me BUT it did work with about the half maximum distance of about 45km ... I finally managed to get 4 smerches to fire at point :thumbup: but it was with a lot of :joystick: and :mad: and of course :doh: just try ;-) =STP= Schnarre [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] There are two types of fighter pilots - those who have, and those who will execute a magnificent break turn towards a bug on the canopy . . . . http://www.youtube.com/user/schnarrsonvomdach http://www.twitch.tv/schnarre https://www.facebook.com/pages/Schnarre-Schnarrson/876084505743788?fref=ts
33rd_Havoc Posted August 6, 2011 Author Posted August 6, 2011 I checked out all 3 things but they are still not firing, i have no idea why !? When i build this mission in Black Shark Editor, everything works fine but here is no way :helpsmilie: anyone else have some more ideas?
WildFire Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 Make sure you have latest patch, 1.1.0.8 all the "fire at point" commands were broken, also like he said make sure they are in range. Give them a triggered task instead of using the standard advanced waypoint menu, then a few seconds after mission start try creating a trigger to AI task "fire at point". Once you start the mission watch them, if they dont turn and face the target within a couple minutes they arent gonna fire. But it does take a really long time. 5+ sounds right. Mortars are like 3. Arty is like 4+ I think.
Panzertard Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 Try to increase the range, I don't remember the excact specs, but I think the minimum range is somewhere between 20km and 40km. So try 30, 40 and 50km. The mind is like a parachute. It only works when it's open | The important thing is not to stop questioning
33rd_Havoc Posted August 6, 2011 Author Posted August 6, 2011 Ok Guys got it, now its working. It was truely a range problem, you have to set the range slightly over the half of the maximum range and than everything is fine. Thank you ! BUT THERE IS A UGLY BUG !!! Listen: If you pressing F6 to watch the flying rockets from the SMERCH Launchers your game will crash. I tryed several times and the game crashes. I dont know if other players have the same problem but i think thats a bug. Maybe we can check this out to get sure.
rmk80 Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 (edited) I am having freezes/CTD as soon as I destroy a Smerch. Happened to me twice already! Don't know if this is related but there seems so be something wrong with this particular unit. Edited August 6, 2011 by rmk80
