Title: Mission Params
Post by: froggy333 on 22 Jul 2004, 23:32:50

Hi,
 I don't know how it is done, when your on a multiplayer mission and you have the mission parameter boxes to select date, time, vehicles etc.
How are these done, is it in description.ext. Please could someone explain if they know OR direct me in the way of a tutorial

Thanks in advance

Chris

Code: [Select]

titleParam1 = "Time";
valuesParam1[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
defValueParam1 = 1;
textsParam1[] = {"Dawn", "Day", "Dusk", "Night", "Random"};

titleParam2 = "Weather";
valuesParam2[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6};
defValueParam2 = 1;
textsParam2[] = {"Clear", "Overcast", "Foggy", "Rainy", "Storm", "Random"};
The above goes to description.ext.
titleParam1 = "Time"; The name of the parameter. It shows above the parameter box in MP pool.
valuesParam1[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}; How many different values the parameter can have.
defValueParam1 = 1; The default value of the param.
textsParam1[] = {"Dawn", "Day", "Dusk", "Night", "Random"}; The texts shown in the parameter box in MP pool. These reflect to the given values.

After defining the parameters in description.ext you can ask them in game like
?param1 == 1: hint "You selected Dawn"
or
?param2 == 3: 0 setfog 1
