[1304.1] Mission bug

[DimiHendrix]

Look what happens when the event fires . The ships do not attack and start moving to nowhere without a course.

Which side, which mission, which event?

[thewood1]

And where did this scenario come from? I can't find the original.

[thewood1]

Which side, which mission, which event?

I assume its Gate 1, as the only event either side.

[thewood1]

Are there any TR surface ships?

There's only one event , watch at dardanelles strait the TF-2000 entering the event area and the mission that gets created when it does .

But aren't those GR ships. The event states TR ships. I must have misread that.

[thewood1]

I see what happened when I ran it. It all happened so fast that I didn't see the GR ships kill the TR ship. I ran it this time and watched more slowly. Everything seemed to work as it should.

1) TR ship hits the event zone
2) Strike mission created
3) TR ship set as target of strike by lua
4) GR ships get a put into the strike mission by lua
5) TR ship hit by missile from multiple GR ships in strike mission
6) GR ships stop what are doing because no targets exist.

Just ran it six more times and the TR ship is killed every time. There is a little delay once the TR ship hits the zone. I assume OODA.

The thing I found critical to watch is selecting the GR ship and see when the mission becomes active.

[DimiHendrix]

It doesn't work like that for me. Are you on 1304.1? My behavior is that GR ships get a targeting vector but they never fire missiles they just start cruising to somewhere . Can you post a pic of mission WRA ?

[DimiHendrix]

This time 1 ship fired 1 missile randomly ... (sorry for the slowness i m playing via remote desktop )

No changes to the scen you sent. Note 1304.1 version. I played it on single flame. Try that. I see little idiosyncrasies in double flame now and then.

Tried single flame also.Did u see exocet WRA in my video? is it the same as yours?

[thewood1]

I'm also running it from the editor. It might be worth it to remove lua from the equation and set the target from the start and see what happens.

edit: also check your side-level WRAs. I noted the mission has all inherited. The side looks like its set for the target's defense value of 4 Harpoons. So assuming thats what the mission is folowing.

[DimiHendrix]

It works ok when i manually make the mission through GUI... so i guess it has to do with LUA

[thewood1]

I suspected that. The only reason I can see it working on my end is running through the editor changes how lua runs. I have seen this a couple times before, but very rarely and not for a couple years, where lua gives slightly different results in the editor and in the real game. I think it might have something to do with variable definition and scope.

[DimiHendrix]

But i'm running it in the editor too. I 'll try separating mission creation and unit assignment . Maybe them running without delay between them causes an issue.

[DimiHendrix]

YEAP , too fast unit assignment is causing some error . I assigned 1 unit instead of 6 and mission is working ok

[thewood1]

Odd that I don't see that. It must be the cycle differences between different machines.
