Surface Battle

Skorn · 11-15-07, 08:18 PM

Howdy...never created a SH4 mission before, and was wondering if one of you experienced editors could give me a hand. Basically, I've created a large US and Japanese surface fleet and want to watch them duke it out, but for some reason they won't attack each other. Is there some setting that I'm overlooking to get them to release their weapons? Thanks ahead of time.

Make sure they are appropriate distance from eachother (<5nm) and that they are on opposing sides in the editor (EG: Side 1 / Side 0)

They are about 1nm apart and they are on correct sides. They point their guns at the enemy but won't engage.

Hmm...well it seems they were just out of range of each other. 5km is a bit closer than I thought it was lol. Thanks for the answers and sorry for the noob mistake
