How to get AI to attack on radio command

[Paco]

I've searched the forums. Is it possible to have a group of attack helicopters orbit a point until, I give them the radio command to attack? Any help would be appreciated.

"Radio Item Add" creates a radio item in the F10 Other radio menu. Whenever the player selects that option it sets its corresponding flag to true.

 

Either create a AI task to go to the next waypoint to start the attack and trigger it when the flag is true. Or go into the stop condition for their orbit and make sure the "Is User" box is checked (to the left of is user) and the field has whichever flag you want in there, and the box to the right of the flag is unchecked.

Shouldn't that be checked? If it's unchecked then that means the flag has to be false in order to stop the task, but the radio command thing will set the flag true when the player uses it. Also, I don't know if 'user flag must be false' work yet... :music_whistling:

Thanks guys, got it work. Also put in a switch waypoint function to abort an attack.

Yep, brain fart on that one.
