The Mystery of Moving Influence Areas

[JimTM]

Hi All,

 

In the attached multiplayer mission, I'm testing moving German and Russian influence areas (combined with moving front lines) to reflect gains made by the Germans. However, once the German influence area includes Lapino airfield and the Russian player lands there, he is not counted as captured in the mission stats. This is a real mystery to me since simpler tests that I have done have worked.

In the screenshot, I've set up three sets of influence areas to cover German and Russian zones. German Zone 1 and Russian Zone 1 are enabled and the rest of the zones are disabled. I also have three sets of lines to reflect the German advance. The left-hand icon translators are enabled and the others are disabled. The activate/deactivate triggers control the advancing zones/lines under control of the two 1m30s timers. Lapino airfield falls under German control after three minutes.

 

 

The player joins in the Yak-1, which is on a left-hand downwind for Lapino airfield.

 

If the player lands and taxis to the exit of the runway within three minutes, the mission ends and the player should not be counted as captured in the stats.

 

If the player lands after three minutes and then taxis to the exit of the runway, the mission ends and the player should be counted as captured. However, the killed/captured column reads zero in my test.

 

Any help would be most appreciated (and I can finally finish the manual section on influence areas!).

 

Thanks!
