other flights, leave my targets alone!

[wolle]

I set up a mission containing a large number of other vehicles and flights, both red and blue. My job is to take out a certain target, but when I get there, I often find that other CAS flight have already taken it out. How can I mark my targets in the mission editor and make sure others will leave those alone?

Under advanced waypoint actions for the first waypoint of your target, create "Perform Command> Invisible (Enable)"

 

This will make it so all AI will ignore that group. Keep in mind I'm not sure if AI wingmen can target the group, and it really is ALL AI. So if your target might go up against friendly ground units, the friendlies won't be able to target em and they will lose.

Hi Grimes,

 

Thanks, it is not ideal, but it is a partial solution, at least.

Hello,

 

I've had the same problem in a mission I have created. After some experimentation, I found quite simple solution:

 

When adding a CAS flight, under "Advanced" waypoint setting the Mission Editor automatically creates "cas -a" task, which is then inherited to every new waypoint. If you remove this task, your planes will attack designated targets only.

 

This option has some limitations as well, because it will prevent the flight to engage pop-up contacts, but if you need to attack just some specific targets, this may be it. Please, let me know if this was what you've been looking for.

 

Best regards! :thumbup:
