I am trying to just use editor placed squads to serve as each side's Player Combat Support units, but I am having issues getting them to actually be available on the CI2STAR interface. I have the right script snippet in the init fields, though I could be putting them in the wrong init. Who should get the init code? The vehicles themselves or the squad leader in charge of them?

As far as syncing goes: I don't need to use the pre-defined support type modules (Arty, Transport, CAS modules) at all if I am syncing the units directly to the main CS Module, right?

What about the vanilla "mobile mortar team" groups? Those were the types of artillery I was using for 2 of the teams. But the regular stuff I know should work wasn't working either; like choppers for CAS and transport.

I think the issue was just where I put the init lines (put it in the group leader's box not the vehicle's). I am starting up the edited one now to see if it works.

EDIT: No dice. Got the right script code in the init box of the vehicle, have the vehicles synced to the CS Module. I get the option to see the Combat Support menu in the CI2STAR tablet, but there are no assets listed to use.

Using them with the modules works, but I needed at least one of them to be a pre-placed unit with a name for scripting purposes. I am not sure if putting "this = name" in the code box on the module will work for that. Thankfully its a chopper, not an artillery unit; the artillery module has no code input box.

I've tried this multiple times today, and in no way can I get it to initialize in game. Ive added this

setvariable ["CS_TYPE","CAS"]; et al (Altitude, callsign etc) to inti, synced it to the module and nothing.

I can see the callsign in the CS Tablet, however there is no taskings available for the bird, nor is there a helicopter outline next to the callsign.
