Hi all :
Great Site , coming from an old RA modder , who got into RA2 , a while after release.
My question was and I'm sure it's been asked , Is it possible to have hornets , Black eagles etc , Defend or engage the enemy automatically either by air or land , given a certain guard range ?

Thanks for any input , also looking for any great mod maps you guys have worked on for multiplay.

Laterzzz

hmmm... perhaps using the Max Guard Range and just putting them on Guard mode?

Not sure, but it's a good idea. I thought of this a long time ago for TS but then forgot about it ><...

i think u just input gard range and the air craft will do the rest ..although not sure if theres more...

Canpassiveaquire=yes

this would mean the aircraft would pick up its own targets.

Canretaliate=yes

this means the aircraft would attack back after being attacked first.


Although, I don't know if these will work on aircraft. They should, but they are default set to no for both of these.

Would this work in TS?

cougman, Welcome to Deezire Online Forums.

FinalMoon: I think if this works in RA2/Yr, it will also work in TS.

Hey all:
Thanks for all the input so far !
But I have tried most of your suggestions either lately ,or most recent and still can't make it work.
The planes lift off the base , when an enemy is within range , but won't engage ,even when ammo is loaded.
I wonder if I need to change the secondary weapon to passive aquire, with the other settings as someonelse mentioned above.
I'll keep trying , and let you all know , if I come up with the solution.

Thanks,

cougman

Try adding DefaultToGuardArea=yes to the aircraft code
