Title: The incredible vanishing waypoint.
Post by: Daneel on 05 Feb 2003, 19:23:00: Hi all,

Although I select "always show" my waypoints stop appearing on screen.
They show up in early previews, but as I continue to edit the level they just stop appearing. It useually happens after I've switched the player to a different character and then back again.
Anybody know how to get them back?

The always show command is not to let the WP appear on screen, itÃ‚'s appearing on the map.

Why do you then c a WP in the first place? Because after youÃ‚'ve played a cadet mode map you have cadet mode as preview, but if you donÃ‚'t have played in cadet mode or not played at all before you start the editor, the preview difficultnes is on veteran.

I think that youÃ‚'ve exit OFP and started it again without playing in cadet mode. Is that correct?

When you say the mission appears on the map do you mean like a marker during play?
