This is what you do, you set the AI to power on set the radius to cover the generator and search light, Next you set the generators target to the AI icon, Next set the searchlight target to the AI icon. after that it should work fine so long as there is darkness.

Thanks WarFox. I'll give it another try.

Still no searchlights.
I tried connecting both the generators and the lights to the existing anti air AI (with the PowerOn.cpp and a 1000m radius selected) and I tried deleting that AI, and creating another Airfield AI (again with PowerOn.cpp and 1000m radius). Also tried various times from just after sundown through to midnight. No searchlights turned on at any stage even with an enemy aircraft set up to constantly circle the airbase where the searchlights are located. |

What about the AI Type is it set to Anti-air?
Edit: OK i see you created a Airfield AI, so it needs to be a Anti-air AI. It should work now. Last edited by WarFox101; 12-23-2011 at 07:06 PM. |

I tried the Anti Air AI as well, WarFox. I only tried the Airfield AI when I got no result with the Anti Air.
I'm stumped as to why I can't get it to work. |

Thanks Cheesehawk.
For starters, I downloaded the searchlighths example mission from Gamekeeper's post (#4 in this thread). Even the example mission didn't work. If you have a few spare minutes could you download it and try it? May be a better place to start from than a copy of what I have (which is the exact same mission with different AI options tried and the generators moved closer to the searchlights). If the original example mission works for you it will tell me the problem is in either my hardware, game settings or install, and if it doesn't work for you maybe you'll spot what's wrong. |

I believe the searchlight example needs to have the same name as the mission. Have you tried to rename it.

the light intensity is Very poor, change time to 2 or 3 am so the map is in total darkness then use the right click menu to navigate to your searchlight and you will see it!

I made this test mission May last year, still works. You'll need to change time to after midnight to see searchlights, they are still weak.
And you'll see you need a ton of flak to be effective. |
