MadTommy Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 Just a warning to mission makers. If you copy and paste groups with AI tasks the tasks can throw up odd results, i.e not work. The example i came across were Arty groups with AI task > Fire at Point. I had a group comprising of 3 arty units.. the copied groups gave odd results. There would either not fire at all or 2 of the 3 units in a group would fire. I ran the scenario several times. When i deleted the AI tasks and reset them up with the same 'fire at point' AI task they worked correctly. i5-3570K @ 4.5 Ghz, Asus P8Z77-V, 8 GB DDR3, 1.5GB GTX 480 (EVGA, superclocked), SSD, 2 x 1680x1050, x-fi extreme music.

chromium Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 thanks for the call, I didn't know that...

An airplane by it's nature wants to fly, and if not interfered with too strongly by unusual events or by a deliberately incompetent pilot, it will fly. A helicopter does not want to fly. It is maintained in the air by a variety of forces in opposition to each other, and if there is any disturbance in this delicate balance the helicopter stops flying; immediately and disastrously.
Grimes Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 Do you have a track? I tried to replicate the issue but it looks like everything is being written into the mission file correctly and in my playthrough all of the groups fired as they should. The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.

MadTommy Posted September 21, 2012 Author Posted September 21, 2012 Sorry no track. Didn't think of it.. was too busy trying to work out wft was going on. I tried to replicate it again but failed. But something went wrong with the copied groups behaviour previously. There is no way i know of of making 2 out of 3 Akatsia units fire in a group. (All 3 units where very close to each other & well within range). To fix the issue all i did was delete the AI task and add it again. Just gonna have to keep a eye on this.. maybe there was something else influencing the error. i5-3570K @ 4.5 Ghz, Asus P8Z77-V, 8 GB DDR3, 1.5GB GTX 480 (EVGA, superclocked), SSD, 2 x 1680x1050, x-fi extreme music.
