Targets.ini objects' Active Dates

[+PureBlue 71]

I'm trying to build a harbour target area, which I have docked ships for. I want an older destroyer to show up until 1992, and then have another Frigate replace it after that date.

 

Searched the forums (both CA and TW) about the topic and there are references to these:

 

Target[xxx].ActiveYear=1992

Target[xxx].InactiveYear=xxx

 

Target[xxx].ActiveDate=01/01/1992

Target[xxx].InactiveDate=xxx

 

 

So I have my targets setup as:

 

Target[007].Type=Meko200_HydraClass_D

Target[007].Offset=400,28

Target[007].Heading=90

Target[007].ActiveYear=1992

Target[008].Type=SumnerFRAM2

Target[008].Offset=400,28

Target[008].Heading=90

Target[008].ActiveYear=1960

Target[008].InactiveYear=1992

 

 

Couldn't get it to work(testing SF2E and EXP2).

In the above setup, I always get the SumnerFram.

But interestingly if I delete and keep only one ship defined, if it has an ActiveYear, it will not show up at all, by itself.

 

Something is going on here, anybody else experimented with these?
