AI "Engage" or "Targeted" event / flag

[[aps]gnat 28]

Similar to Trenchfeet's question, anyone aware of a detectable flag to say when an AI is doing an attack run or has selected or been assigned a target ?

I'm looking for a scripted way to get rid of aircraft AI doing dive bomb runs which really sux for large planes.

You can get hold of the 'behaviour' of a unit. If there's no

enemy around it will be SAFE, if there are targets nearby it

will be AWARE. If the unit is firing/lining up it'll be COMBAT, etc

hmmmmm ..... ok, thx Footmunch ............ definitely worth experimenting with that option .....

..... I thought there was a command to GetBehaviour .......... but doesnt seem to be any such command.

Footmunch,

Is there any way to get this info ?

FYI,

Was playing some more and found I could CARPET BOMB using the B-52 and AI not perfect but definely worth more playing. (Changed B52 bombs to "burst=10")

So long as your plane has a Pilot/Commander and a Gunner and the formation will overfly the target, a simple;

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">this Flyinheight 250; this disableAI "target"

works fine (weird I know!).

AI gunner will drop bombs early to impact target (needs fine tuning, they are currently a little early), and best of all the Pilot doesnt change altitude.

The command is:

Quote[/b] ]behaviour unit

Operand types:

   unit: Object

Type of returned value:

   String

Description:

   Behaviour mode of given unit ( "CARELESS", "SAFE", "AWARE", "COMBAT", "STEALTH" )

Example:

   behaviour player

You disableAI-ed the plane? You could try it on (driver this)

instead. The gunner might stay 'alert', but the pilot may fly on.

DUH ! ..... thanks. Couldn't see for looking ....

I dont need to state "driver" seems to work without doing that, pilot stays straight-and-level. Gunner must still stay alert because he initiates bomb drops.
