Simulating radio communication for OPFOR QRF

[TOMCAT-1987 0]

Heyo.

 

So I´m trying to do something like this:

There are two OPFOR units. One is protecting an ammo truck while another is far away, acting as a QRF ready to intervene. Each unit has one man with a radio backpack.

 

The idea is that if BLUFOR are discovered on their way into the target, and they have not killed the radioman, this radioman will warn the other one and the QRF will get going. If BLUFOR take out the radioman first, the QRF will not receive the news that the objective is being attacked, and they will not leave.

 

The way this is currently set up is:

1- There is a trigger in the objective area (near the truck) with the options "BLUFOR" and "Detected by OPFOR", Condition "This", named "TrigQRF1, and dimensions 200x200x-1 (this is a night mission so these relatively small dimensions seem appropriate to me, although that´s just my opinion).

2- There is a second trigger in that area, with no options marked, set on a Timeout of 5 seconds, and with the following Condition exactly as written: triggerActivated Trigqrf1 && alive radio1 && alive radio2

3- That second trigger is synced (Set Waypoint Activation) to two "GET IN" waypoints centered on two vehicles. The waypoints belong to the QRF, and starting with those "GET IN", they will then MOVE towards the objective and UNLOAD nearby.

 

The result should be that when BLUFOR are detected by radio1, radio2 (part of the QRF) "will be warned" as to their presence and receive the order to move out. The QRF will then enter their vehicles and head out. However, if BLUFOR are smart, observe the area, and kill the radioman within 5 seconds (just enough to correct their shots if they missed), the QRF will never find out the objective was attacked and will remain in position.

 

Obviously, this whole thing is not working, so I would appreciate any help with this. I know for a fact that a "!alive objective && alive radio1 && alive radio2" trigger condition works, but I have trouble with integrating BLUFOR´s detection into a sequence that would make more sense (the QRF would not wait for the ammo truck to be destroyed before heading out unless it was a case of them being close enough to see or hear that destruction, and in this case they are not).
