IADS doesn't detect targets when late activation is used in the Mission Editor

[johnferrier]

DCS Mission LUA code is here: https://paste.ofcode.org/c22keLj5z7RQFHnXHLYMPp

This work perfectly if the EW and SAM sites are NOT spawned in the mission code.
I tested this with EW being EWR 1L13, EWR 55G6 and an A-50 AWACS.
SAMs were SA-2 and SA-11, manually added to ensure object was was the SR.

However, if the same code is executed after late activated spawns of the EW and SAM no detection occurs.

can you post the mission here?

[johnferrier]

Here you go.
This is a much larger mission we use for training. The function is working now as I've disabled Late Activation. Skynet is setup in the East side of the map.

In the LUA it's the SKYNET() function.
It'll need the Late Activation re-enabled on the EWR and SAM sites and a SPAWN lines uncommented in the function.

Hopefully this useful to help.

thanks will look into it

Is there any progress on adding dynamically spawned SAM,EW, Command and power sources to the IADS?

@Shazzer1951 check out the discord channel:

Some users have done workarounds.

It's still on my backlog.

Seem like only birth of units can be tracked not whole groups:

On birth of Unit check to which group it belongs, then add that group to Skynet, also add check that unit/group name corresponds to prefix that was previously set for the IADS. only if that matches add the EW / SAM site to the IADS.

When adding a sam site or ew site, check via the groups units, if this site is not late activated, if so don't add it.

Ensure Group can not be added multiple times to Skynet. Probably best checked in addSamSite / addEWRadar Function globally for Skynet.
