Fer_Cabo -> Marking Contacts with a Stance (Hostile/Unfriendly) in EVENT (9/27/2017 9:20:03 AM)

Hi folks,

Any idea for a LUA Script (to be used in an ACTION when, triggered by a Unit from one SIDE is detected or spends a certain amount of time inside a defined Zone/Area) that MARKS the intruder as "Unfriendly" or "Hostile"?

I know you can use the EXCLUSION ZONES feature, but these are not flexible, since they don't discriminate the SIDES of the intruding units.

For instance: The ROK cannot set up an EXCLUSION ZONE over its sovereign territory that only marks as "Hostile" DPRK aircraft (and not US or Japanese ones...)

Thanks!

Having an exclusion zone dedicated to a specific side or sides is actually a cool feature. I would suggest putting a request in the feature request thread. It could be done through lua and maybe combined with events, but it gives me a headache thinking about it.

Here is a simplistic example:
A fixed zone has been created around a DDG (sideB).
The event is triggered by an aircraft entering the zone or by an aircraft remaining in the zone for several minutes.
There is also a condition that will check that the aircraft is 'known' as a contact to the DDG. [Added this as with the area triggers, they are based on the actual unit being the triggered, rather than a contact visible to the detecting side. Discovered another defect in that conditions are ignored when the 'unit in area' is triggered. Logged]
The action is to mark the contact as 'unfriendly' if it comes within 10 NM of the DDG.
[There is a defect in that the Lua posture is treating 'U' as unknown rather than unfriendly; unknown should be 'X'. Logged]
If you load up the scenario, the P3 should fly across the DDG's zone, and change from a green neutral to a yellow unknown after a few minutes.

Good to know, I thought I was doing something wrong. The "U" thing was driving me crazy.
