GROUP DISABLE AI for jets on ramp?

[Megagoth1702]

GROUP DISABLE AI is supposed to disable AI, stop all movement and sensor use.

 

Works for vehicles. My AVENGER AA humvee stops when I call "group disable AI". The same does not work for air vehicles though. Choppers and jets ignore this. Jets take off from an airfield even if I set them to "group AI off" from the beeginning. Helicopters continue their flight even if I set them to "group AI off" in mid-air.

 

For testing purposes - the helos should crash and the jets should not take off.

 

 

I am looking for this: I want to have jets parked on an airbase with group AI off until I call them. I could just use static planes and exchange them with active groups later on but that seems like a unneeded hassle.

 

 

Thoughts?

 

Thanks in advance.

Nothing huh. :-/

Very simple. Set them to takeoff from ramp, tick the uncontrolled box, in triggered actions perform command-start. Now, add the radio item so you can call them with the flag (e.g. 1) to switch to on when you select that one in the menu. Now Once--Flag is true (1)--AI task-Start.

Oh my god - so that's what this box does!

 

Thank you so much!

I try to do something similar but it doesn't work and i need advise.

 

I have an E2 on parking area, define to takeoff from ramp. Uncontrolled box is check and he's visible.

 

A flight plan is define, ETA is at 6:00:00 /0.

 

Now i want him not to start from a radio F10 call but at time (6min after mission start).

 

What i've done with trigger :

Once"Awacs"-Time more "360"-"Unit AI ON" not working

 

What's wrong ?

Give it the triggered action of "AI Start" and then trigger it via AI Task.

What's wrong ?

 

You've done it wrong.

 

You need to create a triggered action for the flight using the triggered actions button (to the right of the waypoint and loadout buttons on the group tab.

 

Once you have created the start task, you can create a trigger to call up the "AI Task".

 

So the trigger would be something like "Once "AWACS"-Time More 360-AI Task "Start AWACS".

 

I'm don't have access to the sim at the moment so can't post any screenshots etc, but if the above isn't very clear, I will make some screen shots this evening if nobody else does it first.

Thanks for the tip :thumbup: . I never had used the trigger action mode of units .... now i understand what you say and how "AI Task" is working.

 

I'm at work for th moment and be able to try all this thing tomorrow.
