Help With Lua Mission Change - 7/27/2018 10:16:06 PM

Status: offline 		I am really not sure what is going wrong. I am trying to get a group of computer controlled Transports to fly from the US to England. When they land I have a remain trigger set to change there mission to a support mission that will then trigger a Battalion size Para drop.

The Problem is I cannot get the transports to take off again by themselves. They switch to the new mission and Just stay at their allied airfield. If I manually force their launch they go on the mission just fine. If I start them at that Airfield with the mission they take off normally. Any help to figure what is going on would be appreciated. I have attached a sample test scenario.

Status: offline 		I just did this - are you sure they are ready? I am changing their mission once they land and then setting their loadout to ferry and then ready time = 0.

quote:



ScenEdit_SetLoadout({UnitName =UnitX().name, LoadoutID = 8378, TimeToReady_Minutes = 0})
ScenEdit_AssignUnitToMission(UnitX().name, "Ferry 11")

Status: offline 		So what I was doing was a little different, I was launching units from one base manually, waiting till they were in the air and then setting their new home base to the base where I wanted them to land, and then telling them to RTB - then when they landed the lua actions fires and they take off again. I can get that to work on yours, see attached.

Seems like a bug to me, I was also looking yesterday for a lua command to get them to take off but didn't find anything. I would think that the untits should take off on their own. I guess I got lucky that it worked the way I was doing it, your way seems more normal.

Now if I could just get your paratroopers event to work... not sure what is wrong with it, though on your save it looks like you cloned the first trigger - if you go look at each of them they are all the same (they are all set to the same unit) - I think this is another bug, if you clone a trigger sometimes it is really a clone as in it keeps mimicking the other one/stays in sync with it. So I deleted your triggers and started over and it still doesn't fire for some reason. The lua action works fine, just the trigger is not working.

Status: offline 		Kinds seems like the event trigger for unit enters area is a little buggy - I can't seem to get it to work if you drill down to select the exact unit, but attached is a modified event to drop the troops - though I have it set as just one trigger - any unit that enters that area will trigger all of the troops to spawn rather than each C5 dropping its own units.

So you first have to tell the planes (which are in the air near their destination already) to use the destination base as their new base, then tell them to RTB and the rest should happen automatically - though it takes the 3 hours still.

maybe that trigger was a left over cloned one and that is why it was having issues. Not sure. Might be any of the triggers that allow you to drill down to a unit, I seem to have various issues with them.

Status: offline 		Weird I was not having issues with the Drop itself just getting the planes to leave the second base. I'll check these out tomorrow and see if I can get it running.

Status: offline 		I have figured it out. So there appears to be a bug if the mission is a one way ferry. The Mission change will not wake up. I reset my mission to be a cycle and the follow on worked. A thing of note though the Aircraft keeps its original base as the point of origin after it takes off again. I think this is a bug so I will do a quick write up in the tech forum.
