Hello everybody who might have some more important business to attend to . I'm modifing Boss_Airfield to Generate Migs automatically and set a script to command all the landed jets to attack an area ... Right now I have no idea how to do that ; I did set a script to generate new jets whenever one is destroyed but about area attack [sad] I just did nothing . I used the following INI but whenever enemy riches the protected area and script triggers the airfield to attack the area , Jets just do nothing and stay Standby in the airfield : [code=plain] Object Boss_Airfield WeaponSet Conditions = None Weapon = PRIMARY AircraftCarrierOrderLaunch End KindOf = +AIRCRAFT_CARRIER +CAN_ATTACK [/code] Any Idea how to get this to work ? THANKS FOR READING [grin]

Have a look at the aircraft carrier code. The planes are special and the carrier has special code to command them. I'll take a look at the code when I get a chance to see if I can find something.

You might need to create a new MiG just for this since the air craft carrier has its own raptor.

BTW which ini file is the carrier in? I just cannot seem to find it.

Posted by: klingondragon - Monday, March 26, 2018 4:57:41 AM
I believe it's in the one for American Buildings (or all faction buildings, or maybe misc. units/structures)

So , You guys mean I'll need an specific Jet like carrier's Raptors ? Fortunately Boss_JetMig will do the trick ; I haven't found anything special in Carrier's codes , hope to find some in Raptor's . Nothing special in Raptors either ... Maybe it's the "FlightDeckBehavior" ; It auto constructs jets , maybe also makes them able to be commanded by the airfield they're in . But how to set it up in an airfield , No Idea {It just takes too many bones} .

First look at the bones of the air field you have just substitute those in and remove the extra ones .

[img=https://i.imgur.com/atebaFY.jpg]Any airfield type jet[/img] Yup, any airfield jet can be put on a carrier. I'll try it out on an airfield. I think for the scripting you need to make it as 'attack every enemy within the area'

Posted by: Unknown Editor - Monday, March 26, 2018 9:59:12 PM
Well , Out of scripting , even when I take the control of it myself , Attack Command does not do anything . I really need the airfield to generate jets when some fall as I can not just spawn some outside and send them inside for some reasons , and GENERATED UNITS do not have any names to control ; so , I just thought of using aircraft carrier's attack logic Right now I'm almost certain it's the "FlightDeckBehavior" but I do not know many of bone names' jobs , For example RunwayNTaxi ? Jets themselves are much faster than cars , do they really need a taxi ? I wonder how are they gonna pay the bill [stuck_out_tongue]

Taxiing means moving the plane to the runway from wherever it was. Had a look at the code. did you add the 'CAN_ATTACK' KindOf as well?

Posted by: zzc - Monday, March 26, 2018 10:39:22 PM
The carrier uses this commandset; CommandSet AmericaAircraftCarrierCommandSet 1 = Command_HiddenConstructAmericaJetAircraftCarrierRaptor 2 = Command_AircraftCarrierFire 11 = Command_AttackMove 13 = Command_Guard 14 = Command_Stop End And these buttons.

Maybe , but I still need to check out the airfield's W3D file and try "FlightDeckBehavior" ; if this don't work , then I'll have just no IDEA [sad]

Its likely you need to add it in to make it work?

I think I see the possible cause of the movement problem. The flightdeckbehavior module uses taxi bones which I think the airfield structure does not have. As for the door closing, did you remove the ParkingPlaceBehavior madule from the structure? Or the flightdeckbehavior is conflicting because it has no parking space definition? I figure Klingon can answer these model things better than me, I am just putting out suggestions.

Imo the airfield probly needs all the carrier model bone names to function like a carrier on land. Until then maybe for a quick fix you can just copy all the text inside the carrier building entry to the boss airfield building entry. Of course that will look awfully weird; a monster size building inside the boss base.... reduce the scale?

I thought this was going to be asking for a working aircraft carrier unit. Glad it wasn't getting that thing to work is super annoying.

Well , At the last I just bite the Bullet and used a new Player to control the Jets . It is all rendered by the appropriate scripts ; Including Cool down Construction Time Big Attack Area (300% Bigger than Migs Sight Range) And that they will land into the Airfield if there is no enemy in the triggered area (To make 'em look more realistic)
