[Mission Editor] AI doesn't react

Or is it because I started in periscope depth?

you answered it yourself, you werent detected yet because you were submerged so once detected they fired at you.

the key is in the detection or not being detected because your already too close. i could be wrong about weather they will fire at you or not but it does effect your gun crew firing, if the AI doesnt report it as a new contact its like they are blind sometimes lol.

you can have trouble with things not being reported if they are already in range so if you have trouble with things aproaching unannounced then check how close you have them to your sub

I can't find a "missions"-forum here in the forum overview. Would you be so nice and give me a link to that section?

So if I'm dived and in sight range of the enemy, there should be no problem with the AI. Good to know that for future missions. Thanks. ^^

Yes, Neal did even more than I asked for. I simply asked for switching to the female avatars, but he put in that little avatar and a custom japanese title right away! I love it! ^^

Thanks again, I'll head there for some hints and info.

That's the spirit! It doesn't matter how much one knows, as he still doesn't know everything. Two minds working together are always better when it comes to troubleshooting.

@Asakura. That is the way I try to do all my troubleshooting, look at the simple stuff first, then proceed to the more difficult.

I guess it's my thing to think complicated first. I started looking for mistakes in unit properties, objective settings, triggers and events and so on. I also went through the mission parameters, but I would've never thought of the date being the problem - instead I changed weather settings in that panel. >.<
To be honest, I didn't know the exact date of the Pearl Harbor-incident. I only know about 1st of September 1939, when Poland was invaded and England and France declared war, so that the war in Europe began. But when the US declared war to Japan was unknown to me - until now. I guess I'll remember that date from now on.

Once again, thanks to both of you for your fast and accurate help.
