Question about an objective

[Echo5Hotel]

Hey all,

I'm catching on to this mission editing thing pretty quickly.  I have been able to set up some triggers for insertions and extractions via PBR and some triggers to give the player/s some surprises but how do I set something to be an objective?  Maybe it would be simpler if I explain;

Its a recon mission where the player/s only need to locate some AA assetts of the enemy, not engage them.  So how do I creat an objective that is met when the player/s spot the assett?  There are 3 SAMS that they have to find and then the ending objective would be of course to get out alive.  I'm pretty sure I know how to do the get out alive objective but I cannot find what commands I should use to make an objective for just spotting the item.

Can anyone enlighten me?  Any help would be much appreciated.

OK, if you know how to make a breifing than hereÂ's the explanation:

Create a trigger and make it axis A gigantical and axis B gigantical.

The three AA soldiers that u want to spot have to be grouped with tha gigantic trigger.

To activate the trigger press "detected by west" and your trigger is activated, then put in the normal obj_status blah blah in on activation



If you donÂ't know how to make breifings, tell me, cause then it will not work.

EDIT:
Oh, by the way, since youÂ're only been registred for three days:

you can create a trigger and put this on the condition line

player knowsabout enemyunit1 > 2 && player knowsabout enemyunit2 > 2 && player knowsabout enemyunit3 > 2

then put this in the onactivation line

found = true;"1" objstatus "done";

then make a trigger when you want the player to finish the mission and press F2 and drag a line from the trigger to the player, and put this in its condition line

this && found

Hey there Echo5Hotel!

Welcome to the Forums!  :beat:  

To expand on Real Armstrongs' response a little bit..

If you want a tool that makes briefings, head on over to the editor's depot (link at top of webpage) and there are a few tools out that make good enough briefings.

Then, once you make a trigger like R.A. described above, you would put something like:

"1" objstatus "Done"

Where 1 is the objective number that you have to designate in the briefing...
 
Let us know if you need more help!   ;D

[dmakatra]

isnÂ't it obj_status with a "_"?

[asmodeus]

nope!  :moon:

I verified it in a working mission of mine.      (I forgot exactly what it was at first too)   ;D


P.S.  Unless you're talkinb about in the code for the briefing, then it is like this:

Code: [Select]

<! **** Objective 1 **** >
<p><a name = "OBJ_1"></a>
