I know its been said that irl it would be a waste to call a fire mission on a single unit but I digress, There are situations in sim where it could be utilized, one example would be in multi player co-op mission where units have been divided for each person to control. another would be in sp where units have been divided for micro management purposes, As It is now this situation could also be used to game the sim as you know ai isnt going to be calling fire missions on you if you divide units. It wasn't that long ago that it worked this way. perhaps pre 4.0 but it wasn't an option, If I recall the change was called a fix- any how it would be a viable "option" to have on the support page for mission design. You can already do this - at least for scripted missions. Create an event say "A" (e.g. unit X is in region Y) For the scripted mission "fire if Event A is true" or similar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ht-57 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Ty, Gibsonm, I shall give this a go this eve. Gr8 idea, don't know why this didn't register in my brain, I guess I got stuck on the notion of "well it used to work this way so"= instead of considering what is possible with the tools provided, thanks again for a very enlightening answer that will change my thought process going forward! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ht-57 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 @Gibsonm, Using an event and/ or condition a with region does not work for me (in essence means I'm overlooking something painfully obvious), I cannot get the AI FO to rain down hellfire and destruction on "divided" or single units. I get the same result with just checking "fire at will" as with a condition or event calling "start fire if if unit y is in region z". If the "enemy" platoon is divided into separate units the AI FO will not call for fire mission. As soon as the separate units are attached back into a platoon the AI FO calls for fire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to do this in the Mission Editor, hence the reference to "scripted missions" Create the region, set the condition / event, then create the fire mission. Happy to talk you through it if you want - i'll PM you when near the machine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumituisku Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 (edited) Tents, and camp "things" that you could place in mission like fortifications. Mostly just for immersion purposes...

Gibsonm Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 The ability to just type in a value when editing themes. Currently there are "sliders": When you want to adjust the number I at least end up "enjoying" a bracketing process of add / drop until I get the right number (agreed the "right" number is open to interpretation). 8 sliders x 16 terrain types = frustration As opposed to clicking on a box and typing a number in. Perhaps a box and a slider? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bond_Villian Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 The ability to create conditional penalty zones and graphics in the mission editor. These functionalities would make for some very interesting possibilities. There has been mention of this 'new UI' , im very curious to see what kinds of changes are coming to the Map and Mission Editors. i reckon i spend 95% of my SB time in these! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vanilla version is only a range / training area thing (Saves on diesel wear etc) so that would pretty much fly in the face of Ssnake's "thing" about "Range Targets" in SB. I.E. the only place you'd see a CR2 Vanilla is on the Firing Range. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are all Boom Sticks. Aside from the ammunition caliber and the associated max range, these are nothing but window dressing. There is no functional difference worth discussing in the context of Steel Beasts Pro and this simulation's focus. Squint. Harder. Or just give them the existing AK model we already have and tell someone else to paint it black if its really that important lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
