little men walking about on airfields

[jollyjack]

Got a nice mission thing started, finally figured out the complex trigger business and airfield flares, plus a row of planes that taxi and take off triggering the flares.

 

Now some times there are some zombies walking around on existing missions i played, but where can you find them in the ME, or better:

how make them show? Vehicle or AA related maybe?

 

BTW Is there a checklist when you have a spawned (via complex trigger) set of Ai planes that stay circling around waypoint one. Al heights and speeds checked, high or medium behavior, wp range set up to even 1000m. Tried to find a posted group file showing how to do it, but alas. My head now seriously hurts from trying to figure it out.

ARF nets, ARF ammo, ARF fuel.

 

Complex Trigger is neither here nor there with regard to your question.

 

Spawned aircraft will not fly in formation (command formation MCU)

 

Other than that there is nothing special about getting waypoints etc to work vs other instances.

Thanks, will check it out ... i have a time delayed formation command triggered after spawning by the second wp, after launch thus (at WP2); maybe that's the cause.

Yeah formations don’t work with spawned planes. Use Activate or give each aircraft its own waypoints.

There are some problems with your logic. You don't need to activate a timer for example.

 

You will have a much easier time using an aircraft formation that is placed where you want it but not activated. Like this...
