making end triggers inactive until you've completed your objectives.

[veston pants]

Hi all.

I'm new to this op. flashpoint editing and I've spent a few days browsing through the tute's, learning a load of basic stuff, thanks to all who helped.

My prob is that in a mission I have created, I have set myself 3 objectives using triggers and an end trigger. The 1st objective is to clear the enemy of a certain small area on the map, the 2nd to await for reinforcements and the 3rd to return to my starting point, after my 3rd obj trigger there is an end trigger where the mission finishes. I would like to know how to make the 3rd and end triggers inactive until the first 2 obj's have been completed.

I've checked out a few of the manual resources and FAQ section but have beeen unable to find anything specific on the subject, so any help would be appreciated.

I have simply named my 3 obj's (obj1, obj2 and obj3 and my end trigger end) and would like the code to render the obj3 and end trigger inactive until the the first 2 obj's have been accomplished.

I have also noticed that alot of the coding seems to be spelt differently in certain tute's, mainly with the capital letters appearing or not. Could someone tell me if this has something to do with the op. flashpoint vers. you are running?

My current vers. is 1.91

cheers.

sorry.

Do i put that in the condition field or on activation field?

I already have "1" objStatus "DONE" , "2" objStaus-etc. in each of the 3 trigger on activation fields. I also need the 3rd trigger to be inactive aswell as the end trigger, until the first 2 triggers have been activated.

Cheers.

this and obj1 and|#| obj2: Error and: type Object, expected Bool

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

u wont have 2 change ur breifing

change the variables names that i told u bout 2 somin else... not the objectives names... this triger thing doesnt have ny conections 2 ur breifing

so 4 example here is the activision line 4 1st triger

"obj1" objstatus "somin"; misionpart1 = true
or
"obj1" objstatus "somin"; objecpart1 = true

or watever

just make sure u change the variable in the conditions 2 the variable name in the activision field, u can put also nythin in the activision field as long as u keep the ;variable thingy
