Dofire, dotarget

[Winters 1]

hmmmm,

can anyone tell me a way to make dotarget and dofire work everytime? sometimes my guy will blast away at the MI17 with his AA and other times he just stands up and watches it fly by.

thanks for the help

Strange , i have made some missions with AA guys , and they always fire on Mi17 , without using the dotarget and do fire command.

Have you tried to only use the dotarget command (and not the dofire) ?

In normal condition (without any command) when the AA guy saw the heli , the AI quickly switch to their AA weapon and fire , so it is possible that if you use the dofire command too, it makes a problem with the AI wish to fire.

I have no other idea of what can be the cause of the problem you ran into.

I am using a "CIV" unit that i equipped with only an AA Launcher. Also, this takes place during a cutscene so i used a couple of waypoints and a trigger to make him wait 48 seconds before he engages. But, as i said sometimes he fires and other times he won't.

Why not make the AA guy have a wp as Destroy and set to teh MI-17 and then synchronize the Destroy with the WP that makes the MI-17 come to destroy stuff?

The same thing happens.

Try stop using dofire. Only totarget or maybe dowatch. And make a heli an enemy to the civilian. And don't try using dotarget or dowatch on jeeps with mg. It just crashes the game.

i use reveal target also to make ai able to shoot targets from greater distances.

I already stopped using the dofire and dotarget when i went with the destroy waypoint.

dowatch won't work, you just stare at whatever your watching.

you can't make Civs enemy to anyone. you have to go into mission.sqm and change their side.

Thanks for the advice about the MG Jeeps.
