|tName=engageTargets

|vNum= 1.2.4

|type= enroute task

|for= Airplanes, Helicopters

|avail= CAP, CAS, SEAD, Anti-ship, Fighter Sweep, AFAC

|desc= Assigns the controlled group to engage targets that have a specific attribute. Group will only engage detected targets.

When placing a flight with the role of CAP, CAS, SEAD, Anti-ship, or Fighter Sweep in the mission editor an enroute task of the same name will automatically be generated for said group on their first waypoint. Theses tasks are available as an option in the enroute listing. Within the mission file itself these tasks are actually a engageTargets tasking with pre-defined target attributes.

Within the mission editor the task role selection filters the list of valid attributeNames to be relevant to this task. In reality that doesn't matter and you can assign whatever attribute you want for an aircraft to attack.

|form= This task needs to be in the following format.

EngageTargets ={
id = 'EngageTargets',
params = {
maxDist = Distance,
targetTypes = array of AttributeName,
priority = number
}
}

'''Required parameters''':

targetTypes: array of attribute names that define valid targets.

'''Optional Parameters''':

maxDist: Defines the maximum distant in meters the group will deviate from their route to engage a target.

priority: The priority of the tasking, the lower the number the more important the objective is. Helps define the order in which AI will execute tasking. By default the value is 0.
|enum= N/A
|exam=

|notes=

See article [[Mission Editor: AI Tasking]] for more information on how AI tasking is handled within DCS.
