ED [DCS USER MANUAL]
described above, target detection will depend on a number of dynamic variables ingame,
including possible terrain obstructions or weather interference. If no group is
designated by the mission designer, the FAC will not issue any targeting commands.
The PRIORITY number is used to set the action priority in relation to other actions of the
waypoint. The priority number represents the order this action will take relative to other
actions, starting with '0' as the highest priority.
When using ground units to act a JTAC then you must ADD a callsign and frequency in
Waypoint (Advanced Options) and use FAC - Assign group OR FAC - Engage group to
allocate targets.
Only ground units that have EPLRS (as shown in waypoint advanced options) can
transmit target location data via datalink to suitably equiped aircraft. Only armed units
can designate a target with smoke and laser. (e.g. APC M1043 HMMWV Armament).
Perform Command
The following commands can be set as actions upon reaching a waypoint:
No Action
No command is set.
Run Script
Run the Lua script entered in the scratchpad.
Set Callsign
Set the group's callsign. For Western units, the callsign consists of a primary designation
and a numerical ID. For example, "Colt 4".
