Getting Ai fighter cover on dogfight server

[Goku]

Hi Community

I was wondering if i can get an Ai Cover for my bomber on a MP-Server. If I object link the command:cover MCU with the fakeairfield the Ai obviously only covers the airfield and not the planes spawned.

 

Have a great day

I'm not sure that the cover command works when a MP spawning plane requires protection. How would the AI know which plane to protect if many planes spawned and departed in different directions? However, note that the object link goes to the protecting object (AI) and a target link goes to the object needing protection (spawning plane).

Thank you Jim for the quick answer. Can you think of an alternative mechanic other than command:cover to get the AI to protect you on MP-Servers? Maybe with a zone trigger or something... Sorry I'm new to the editor ?

You can activate/spawn AI aircraft in a variety of different ways and give them an 'attack area' command.

With a cooperative mission this is probably possible. Otherwise you'd have to fake the covering of player planes as Gambit suggested. Here's how you can do it in coop:

 

 

 

Note that the command Cover has "Cover Group" checked. This way it will cover the entire group.

 

Another note: Although this is possible... I wouldn't trust my back with an AI fighter. ?
