It's easy.

If you design a standalone mission, previous goals and previous event will only consider the mission you are working on.

In order to make these functions work properly, you first have to sort your missions in a campaign tree...

Quote
                                                    Mission 1
                                                         |
                                                         |
                                                         |
                                                    Mission 2
                                                         |
                                                         |
                                                         |
                                                    Mission 3     

It can be easily done in the campaign editor. You will then be able to use previous goal and previous event :)

Subsystem strength

when you only have one mission...it's it's own campaign so to speak.


AFAIK - you need to type in the full name of your mission file there...like MSN01-43.fs2
