Ending a mission via Waypoint

[shadow99]

I just had an uber idea. A waypoint is not activated unless it is the first in a series, or the previous has been completed. It would be so EASY to set objectives IF you could end the mission with a waypoint.

I know some of you wouldn't like this because it would mean one-way missions, but on the particular mission i'm on now, there is only one way to end it.

I don't know what forceEnd mission does, but I've been told it is nasty and not to be messed with. Is there another way I could end a mission upon a player getting to/accomplishing a waypoint?

This would be SO handy...

You can always use a variable to activate an end trigger. type in the wp's on activation field: end = true    then place an end trigger and type in it's condition field: end

'End' in the condition field, or 'End' for the trigger's name?

Well, whatever the answer, I suppose it has the same effect to what I wanted, right?

Thanks very much.

I just fiddled around with the idea, and I ca't get the trigger to work properly. I set it to 'Not Present' but it is still activating when im within range.

then place an end trigger and type in it's condition field: end

Did you select the right side for it's activation. Meaning if your West and the trigger is activated by East not present..

Remember that if you use a waypoint to end the mission the mission will be unplayable in Veteran mode and you should put a note in the Overview and readme (and probably the Briefing too, for safety) to this effect.

Triggers are much better, once you get the hang of them.
