Title: Ok, questions about directives, goals, and debriefings. Please help if you can.
Post by: WS-Thunder on August 13, 2001, 05:52:00 pm

Ok, here is where everything starts to take shape. I have made my first three levels for my campaigne. However I still need to get a few things done with them. Here are the problems:

1. Goals and directives: How do I get goals to light up in the directives box and then later turn darker blue after you complete an objective. Also, how do I set it up so that I can have a goal that will fail no matter what in game and it will still count the goal so that you can get past that level and onto the next. Also, how do I get a goal to show up later in game in the directives box. I know how to get the goal to work and everything. I just need to know how to get the directives box to work and what the rules are behind it. I know it has to do with the validate and invalidate options but I'm not sure how they work exactly.

2. Debriefings,
How do I time these out, place images, and how do I set it up so that if you fail a mission you get a different debriefing than you would if you had passed the mission?

Exactly what he said... I have two points to make here:

1) The walkthrough will teach you everything and MORE about FRED2. Its time consuming, but by the time you are done, it will have been WELL worth it, and it saves yourself from having to ask these questions here.

2) When you HAVE done the walkthrough, please keep these type of questions in the FS modding forum! Thanks!
