Title: Special Trick to Training Messages?
Post by: Akalabeth Angel on December 29, 2003, 07:44:18 pm

I'm trying to use some training messages in a mission but they just don't show up. I don't know what the deal is because I have the same setup as that last mission in derelict yet nothing goes. Here's my sexp stuff:

when
  has-time-elapsed
      4
  send-trainingmessage (or whatever)
      Bob
      Bob
      0
      4

where "bob" = hey, my name is bob or something

  So anyway, it looks exactly the same as that one in dl5-01 mission but it doesn't show up at all. So I don't know what the hell the deal is.


On a related note, is it possible, for Red Alert Missions to have an alternate message than "Downloading New Orders" or is that the only option?

You need to have a ship named 'Instructor' somewhere in your mission. Take a stealth ship like the Pegasus, name it Instructor and put it miles away with orders to sit still and keep quiet.

Serious? That's pretty stupid.
Thanks a lot though, I go try it out.
