how to create a convoy?

[[DBS]airdoc]

Hi everyone

 

I 'm a complete rookie with ME. I 'm striving to modify a mission from "Albert's life" series (it's No2) in order to shoot some scenes for a video.

 

I 'd like to add a convoy of BT-7s circling infinitely at the periphery of the spawn airfield . I tried copying another convoy from the same mission but the objects dont appear at all. Tried to create the objects myself, link them, enable them and add trigger waypoints but they remain static.

 

Is there any template I could download that would work with this mission without having to add a gazillion triggers, timers, delays in order to make this simple thing?

 

thanks

may be the convoy you copied was not activated (checkbox enable unchecked in advanced properties) and have you triggered the first waypoint of your convoy ???

 

Here is a small sample mission I made for you on lapino map

It shows you how to make a simple convoy. If you like it you can select it and copy past it in a new mission using ctrl + C and ctrl + V

Just unzip this file in C:\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\data\Missions\My missions and play it

Brilliant.  It works like a charm.

 

I can't thank you enough. I 'm still in the very early stages of trying to learn how this thing works.

 

cheers

No problem mate !

We all had troubles at the begining with the mission editor who is not really user friendly for a rookie.

 

Anyway after some times spent in the editor you'll see it's not that hard to make some interesting missions to play with your buddies.
