Sorry if this has been asked before but is there a way to do scripting for a specific mission?

Thanks

Code: [Select]

#Conditional Hooks
$Mission: <missionname>
;; Other hooks go here
#End

I don't have the code with me, but IIRC missionname should be the mission filename with or without the .fs2 extension. If that doesn't work, try the mission name itself.

You can of course use $Mission with any other condition (see http://fs2source.warpcore.org/exes/latest/scripting.html or use -output_scripting)

I'm sure I am way off the mark here but what I am trying to do is have script show up on the screen for a cutscene.  I can easily get it to show up but of course it shows up on every HUD in every mission. 
What I want is to have a text show up on one specific mission.  Here is one of my many failed attempts:

#Global Hooks
$HUD:
[

if Mission == "warpin" then

    gr.setColor(255, 255, 255)
    gr.drawString("Entering the Palin System", 450, 650)

end
]
#End

Any help would be appreciated.

Well in that particular example the 'Mission' is the problem as it is not defined as anything (so its has value of 'nil').

Far better way to do it would be to do it like WMC said.. Using scripting modular tables (sct.tbm) and conditional hooks. And then simply toss the stuff inside the HUD. As the script would only work with the defined mission you wouldnt need to insert anything special to the tables.

Other way to do it could be to use for example mn.getMissionFilename() function - like in your example.. just Mission = mn.getMissionFilename(). But imo it would be better to use tbms for these. Also you might want to make sure the text always appears in proper location instead of being in different places in different resolutions.

 I got the script to run the way I wanted using 'Mission = mn.getMissionFilename()'.   Thanks. 

I'm Knu and did not really understand the method you discussed in your second paragraph, when I tried to "simply toss stuff in the HUD" the stuff just bounced of my computer screen .

Well... what i mean is that with multiple scripts it a lot easier to manage a group of tbm based scripts files rather than just trying to get all to fit into a single tbl file.

Code: [Select]

#Conditional Hooks

$Mission: <name of the mission>

$On HUD Draw:

[

gr.setColor(255, 255, 255)
gr.drawString("Entering the Palin System", 450, 650)

]

Gotcha - Thanks for your patience.
