Need some help guys

Post by Gunny84 »

I am create a Naval scenario and I need some help.

-I have inserted airfields but when I tried to update the magazine for the aircrafts it don't seems to update.

- How do I make neutral shipping sail along a certain route within a certain conditions. Can I make it random for every time the scenario is generated.

- How do I make the enemy to hug a neutral ship and to charge towards my own force within 10-15NM?

- How do I make the enemy call in airstrike on me after I am localized.

- How do I make the enemy activate their ship borne helicopter to search and strike me

Thanks in advance and sorry if these have been answered before.

Slow down buckaroo! You need to deal with this like a cake, one bite at a time. You have some simple questions, and some possibly advanced ones.

I created a single unit airfield, Magazines (F5), and then clicked Add Weapons.

There it is, the munitions I added.

You can create a zone and assign the neutral shipping to a patrol mission, just be sure to make the side blind. They will path through the zone you've created and it will be slightly different each time.

There's a lot going on here, and I'm not sure of an easy way to make it happen. I hope someone else can jump in on this one.

Assign the enemy helicopter to a patrol mission with a patrol zone that follows the ship using relative reference points. As the ship moves the patrol zone will move with it, and as long as your ship is within those bounds the helicopter will attack if it has the proper loadout.

Do I need to assign the enemy ships to patrol so that they would be moving?
I tried running the scenario once and all units were stationary ;)

Yes, they need a mission.

You have your airfield on one Side and the aircraft are on another side. You can only give orders to units that are on your side. Switch to the side that the planes are on and give your orders.

From what I can see, these aircrafts belong to an ally/friendly side, not to the player's one.
Check which side they belong to. Erase them and recreate them after switching side to the right side.

Not that long, you'll see. Past the first hills, the learning curve is not that steep. And it can be quickly rewarding.
Just don't get discouraged :-)
