hints about testing a mission

[Blanco]

I like making mission, but what I don't like is the testing.
speciialy testing triggers  :'(

Is there a way to fasten this up?

I use time-acceleration, put my enemy in careless-mode, make a repeatable-radiocomand- savegame trigger

Any other suggestions ??

  Hmm... sounds like a fairly good method.. all I can add is that for all triggers and such I always have a "test area" on desert island where I check each part of the mission independently of the others.... then just cut/paste into the mission I'm working on ....

  Also... putting yourself as a captive can save you from having to change all those guys back from careless as well..

 Hmm.. obviously starting yourself at different points on the map can be a big help ...

anyways....  hope that helps..

copy your trigger and make it radio alpha. You will be able to set it off.. Just remember to delete it  ;D maybe put your guy as an enemy in a heli to see from above?..

yup..a good method is testing out each trigger combo/script first somewhere...if nothing else just create a whole "test situation" on the same map out of the way, and make sure it works...'s my method anyway. Can't enter nothing you can't be sure works

Remember you can always copy-paste between missions, and it's damned easy to just change the names of the groups or whatever from the "test" ones to the "real" ones...

G'luck mate! And remember to BETA test it before submitting yer mission So happens we have the perfect forum for that....

Wolfrug out.
