• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

FSXA AI Aircraft & Yield to User

Greetings,

I'm working up a mission where a helicopter swoops down and land in front of a taxiing AI Learjet, causing the plane to stop and thus preventing some bad guy's nefarious plans…you get the picture…I think I've seen a variation of this a dozen times on various TV shows and movies.

The idea is to prevent the bad guy's escape. Put a property trigger on the Learjet, - if it stops (Ground Speed ≤ 2 kts) the goal is achieved.

I use Obviously I tried using the Yield to User function to get the plane to stop…and that doesn't work…the lear taxied merrily right through my helo sitting on the ground in front of it.

Settings:
AIType - Airplane
AIAircraft
Unit_Mode - Waypoints
YieldToUser - True
AircraftAIState - Flight

I also tried
AircraftAIState - Taxi

no difference.

So I changed to
AIType - GoundVehicle

Now it stops for the blocking helo…but it has no lights.

Thoughts?
 
Somehow you are going to need to modify a SIMVAR of the Learjet, but I think you are doing that already. Maybe change AI state to parked or something?
 
Thanks Ripcord - I had only tried Flying and Taxiing. I'll try the other states and see if that works.

If all else fails, since this is a mission I could try working a proximity trigger that somehow kills the Learjet's waypoints (I could then use the proximity trigger for a Goal success).

The funny thing is that all the other AI aircraft do yield.
