A Questions (Objectives and etc)

[Hunted]

Hello all,

I am certain that some of the questions that I am about to ask were answered at one point or another. But due to my lack of search ability and some particular qustions are slightly different. I felt the need to ask it here.

So here it goes.

The map that I am working is for Multiplayer Cooperative game/mission.

Background
Helo flies to a designated RV. But gets shot down.
The crew dies but the unit in that chopper is still alive.
Unit is all playable. Radio 0-0-1 in for help.
-------------------------------------------------

My problem is having the enemy ZSU engage only to the helo coming in to extract the first downed helo. Hence the rescue team gettin shot down.

Q:
How can I have the ZSU ONLY attack a certain air element, and not all?

--------------------------------------------------
I need to have the objectives only show on the map once the 2nd rescue helo goes down. (provided that the ZSU shoots it down)

Q:
How can I do this?
I also need the objectives to show only if the previous objective has been met.
----------------------------------------------------
FYI:
Could you please, please spell them out if it is to be in description.ext or in the Init line.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated

Anyone?!?

I do know about the "1" ObjStatus "Hidden" (Active,Done)
but How could I enable it so that once the objective 1 is done the second objective comes up?

And still do not know how i can have the enemy shoot the  particular chopper down.

to stop the shilka firing at the chopper use this

this setcaptive true

and for the objectives, put "1" objstatus "hidden" in the init.sqs like you said, and you need a trigger to detect when the chopper is down so put this in its on activation field

!alive helicoptername

and put this in the on activation field

"1" objstatus "active";

Thank you Black_Feather.

Much appreciate it.

ok, Black_Feather

a few more questions...

I have done what you have suggested. However a few points needs to be clarified.

I have made a test/mockmission to test this.

A UH flying, Shilka killing the UH. Which in turn should activate the objective. ( show's up on the map)
However, When I tried to run it the objective was shown regardless.

What I have done:
a) UH
b)Trigger over the UH
Side: WEST
Not Present
Con:!alive UH (this command didnt work on the 'On Activation')
On Act: "1"objStatus "Active"

c) Shilka (to engage the UH)
d) BMP (as objective 1 -to test)
e) Trigger over BMP
Side : EAST
Not present
Con: this
On Act: objective"1"complete = true; "1" objStatus "DONE"

Question:
a) What have I done wrong?
b) How can I make the 'markers' (which will show the objective on the map) appear once the objective is ACTIVE?

Basically, I do not want the players to see the markers when starting the game. Only if the UH is down /or some trigger is activated.  It would render the map useless other wise.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions
