updating mission during action

[Tobruk]

How does one go about setting a trigger to add a new objective in the middle of a mission?

[LAPD]

You hide the objective, and then you activate it using a trigger.

In your init.sqs, let's say it's your first objective, you'll write:

Code: [Select]

"1" objstatus "Hidden"
Then, in the 'on activation' field in the trigger, you'll write:

Code: [Select]

"1" objstatus "Active"
That's should do it.

The objective is there all the time, just that they won't see it in the notebook, until you activate it.

Thanks LAPD, I'll try that.

Now I need to figure out how to have that update come over the radio.

U mean updating retry? Choose a radio, like juliett, repeatedly, and in on act field: SaveGame

Read snYpir's excellent "How to use Objectives and init.sqs" available now in the Ed Depot.

If you're still having problems with the radio part can you give us a bit more detail?
