Airfield

[doF PrezCartman]

Ok I just started messing with the Map Editor for the first time. I want to create an aerial training map for my clan and am working on making an airfield for each side. The main thing I need to know is what has to be put done to ensure that jets are repaired/rearmed when they fly over the area. Basically what object performs this duty?

Re: Airfield

I've had a problem with this too. the regular airstrip you place will rearm, but it never seems to repair, any help with this?

Re: Airfield

You need to place the repair structure. It's the one that is usually like an 18-wheeler's box car with a ladder on it. This is the actual structure that repairs your plane.

Re: Airfield

Lol, i didnt know that repaired your plane. I tought it was just the airstrip Lol :).

i guess every building and structure has its reason

Re: Airfield

That's why on, say, the US airstrip on Kubra, only one runway will repair your jet (the one where the F-18 spawns).

Re: Airfield

This objects are smart. They see what team owns the nearest control point and repairs only vehicles from that team. Same for the helipad, i love it

Re: Airfield

They also work when the base is neutralized and when they are not included in the playable area of the map. For instance, on Operation Clean Sweep, 32-player map, the last base in the 64-player map has an airfield you can still fly over (although out-of-bounds) and anyone can use it for resupply/repair!

Re: Airfield

I like to put those repair stations under the runway, sideways then you don't see them, but you still get repaired :)
