Question: How do I mission plan a delayed QRF take-off?

[Blast33]

It is probably very easy but I can't figure it out...

Lets say a enemy fighter flies into a certain trigger area and as a response in an event and action flow, a QRF mission goes active.
In CMO the fighters will take-off in two minutes and that is a very fast response time, even when they are in the cockpit and not asleep...

How would you guys delay the take-off to a 5 or 15 minutes response?
Preferably without LUA....

So, here is lualess approach...

When aircraft entered/detected inside reaction area, teleport "trigger unit" submarine or some invisible unit to event zone. (Event 1)

Divide this zone by as much as you needed, and prepare Unit Remain Area trigger for xxx minutes by each subzone. This can randomize delay timing of Event 2 by where trigger unit is teleported at Event 1.

Set Event 2 as multiple RemainArea trigger and mission activate action.

And test scenario.

Without lua, difficult...

With a bit of lua, set the readytimes of the units assigned to the mission to 5min...

Or make an intermediate event that will trigger in 5 min from the actual time.

So as Trigger | Action

UnitEntersAreaTrigger | Create5minTriggerEvent
5MinTimeTrigger | ActivateMission

Thank you all for the suggestions!
