Cannot get the Check zone mcu To trigger anything

[zdog0331]

I am trying to setup a tank COOP mission, and I am unable to get the Check Zone MCU to work.  I have the zone checked for axis vehicles and I want it to spawn a tank ambush, but it doesn't seem to work.  I tried playing around with it to see where the problem was and no matter what i do I cannot get the Check Zone MCU to active any i link the check zone to.  Some thing to note are that I am setting the mission is set in dogfight mode so that features such as base respawns, and join as gunner options are available.  I am new to the the IL2 mission editor so I may be doing something wrong so any help would be nice.

 

Thanks

Welcome!

 

In order to diagnose, folks here would need to see more info like a screenshot of how you have it set up, or better yet post the mission file so it can be checked out.  Or at least a detail description of how it's set - what target and object triggers are linked to and from it. 

 

Check Zone trigger problems are covered on pg.188 of JimTM's excellent manual.  Highly suggest you grab it and start going through the example's if you haven't already, you'll be up and running in no time.  

 

Make sure you've at least turned it on by target linking to it from Mission Begin or some other MCU that becomes activated by something (like a Waypoint, etc).  Otherwise it's not "turned on" and won't detect anything 'cause it's an inactive checkzone. 

 

As a fr'instance:

Mission Begin MCU -> Target Link -> Timer 2 sec -> Target Link  -> Check Zone  --> (check zone then has it's own target and object links to other stuff)

If you are making a death match (dogfight) mission, and testing it using the in-game dserver, check zone and proximity triggers do not work correctly, if at all.

So who would I get them working In the deathmatch mode?  Or alternatively how would i Get join as gunner mode and respawns to work in COOP

You need to run the mission on the dserver.

COOP, by its very nature, won't allow you to respawn in a plane after you've died or finished a flight.
