Query!
« on: 26 Feb 2004, 18:47:15 »
My apologies, but I can't seem to find anywhere how to set up a lose ending to the missions.  Everyone's tutorials I read have end1 and end2 but how do you set it up so the losind cutscene starts or 'loose' as ofp calls it.

Thanks

you can set the trigger type to: 'loose'

loose is not the same as lose.     A "loose" ending has nothing to do with mission failed.

The numbered endings are fired when all the triggers of that type have fired.   For example, if you had two triggers with type End#2 then the mission would end when both triggers had fired.     In practice this is not good mission design:  it's better to use variables and have only one trigger with the ending.

Each numbered ending has a different debriefing text, set in Briefing.html.   I have a feeling that the Loose ending has no debriefing text.

gundernak is quite right, all you need is a trigger type Loose:  when it is fired the mission will end.   The twist is that the mission will end if any trigger of this type is fired.   (As opposed to numbered endings when all the triggers must be fired.)

Remember that the Outro plays after the debrief.   It might be better to have an end cutscene rather than an Outro.

Thanks, I knew about the trigger set to loose but I was trying to figure out how to do debriefing text, and there is none thanks a lot for that and I'll take your idea into account.

Cutscenes are just done with triggers aren't they?

Also no one happens to know why ofpsas.com is down do they?
