AI Carriers won't launch planes

Post by WWII44 »

I can't get the AI Carriers to launch their aircraft in my custom scenario, what exactly am I doing wrong? Also is there like a full manual or set of tutorials for scenario making, specifically ones that cover AI programing and event triggers.

Some things to check:
You have put some aircraft in the carrier.
Those aircraft are in their own team.
That team has an air task.

I did all those things, nothing. on another note is there a hot key that removes planes from a carrier/hangar?

Select the air unit in the unit list. Shift-click on an empty hex.

It's hard to say what the problem might be without extra info. Could you post a screenshot of the team setup?

Hmm... Could you upload the scenario, I'd like to have a look.

Note: you've only got one unit in the air team. Is that right?

I had a quick look and everything look fine. The Wildcat took off and then attacked the zero I flew north.

The starting distance between the US and Japanese carriers are rather large though, so my guess is the Wildcat is not launching right away because it doesn't have the fuel capacity to reach the Japanese carriers.
