Title: mission editing
Post by: Werewolf on 19 Sep 2006, 01:16:28

excuse me for my question, but i'm new in creating missions for operation flashpoint, new in creating missions in general, i might add.
the thing is that i create a scenario, waypoints, everything, and all works just fine, i did the html file for briefing, everything is great, except that i don't know how to set the objectives for the mission. i mean, i made a multiplayer cooperative mission with an atack over a city, i kill all the defence, but nothing happens, because i don't know how to set the victory conditions. pls explain to me how can i set those, i've read some tutorials, but nothing is named about this. :dunno:

"1" objStatus "DONE"; hint "You have a new objective.  \n\nWait for evac."

the "1" objStatus "DONE" part will tick of the objective provided its named 1 in your briefing
the hint "blah blah" will make the ding noise
the \n\n just puts a space in the sentences
ps that all goes in the trigger!!!
someone alse here will have more info , a tute or something, cheers

"1" objStatus "DONE"; hint "You have a new objective.  \n\nWait for evac."

a good thing is to add in this line:

Code: [Select]

"1" objStatus "DONE"; hint "You have a new objective.  \n\nWait for evac."; ob1 = true
make an end trigger if you have only one objective and in its conditionfield put:

Code: [Select]

ob1
In the first part you see that when the objective is reached, a variable ob1 is set to true; in the second (end-)trigger you see you need a condition (a variable in this case) called ob1

in the activation field:

Code: [Select]

ForceEnd
This is a good thing if ur putting more than objective to achieve; let's say a 2nd trigger(objective) would be:

Code: [Select]

"2" objStatus "DONE"; hint "We got the hind!\nLet's get out of here"; ob2 = true
Then in the condition of your end trigger you would put:

Code: [Select]

ob1 AND ob2in the activation:

Code: [Select]

ForceEnd

Conceptually, victory conditions are usually associated with triggers.    You decide on what victory conditions you want; use a trigger to detect them and end the mission.
