Well, I started putting together my campšaing in the camapign editor and I realised I forgot how to make branching.
K, one way would be to drag Mission01 into mission2a and 2b, creating two branches and setting up the True even for each to correspond to some previous event. However, that only works if I want the mission to branch depending on something the player did within the mission.
What I'm after is more like a loop (you get asked before a mission), expect if you klick yes you get one set of mission, and if you click no you get another one. I'm sure I can figure it out myself, but it's faster to ask
-
Select the branch in the branches box to the left of the campaign tree, and click the "Toggle Loop" button.
-
Yeah, I gather that. However, from Mission5, I have a branch to both mission 5a and mission5b.
Loop should lead to 5a, and no loop to 5b. However, I do get some error.
Crapola...whenever I get into the campaign editor it crashes...unhandeled Win32 exception...just great :P
-
Run the debug build. There is a crash in the release build I've never been able to track down.
-
Well, I get a whole bunch of warnings about imact explosion for various weapons not having LO0 anims and ballistic weaponry warning. Pretty standard stuff.
the only thing that stands out is something about a too long weapon name and this (which caused FRED to not start at all)

/me is not touching this topic with a "10 barge pole.
-
That is a particularly nondescript assert message.
Also that debug build doesn't seem to have debugging symbols (the functions don't have names, just memory locations)...
-
Well, I used the latest Nighly Build exe's
The latest build Compaaing editor doesn't crash on start b.t.w.
It does when I make a loop in a campaign and try to save tough (as didithe other 2 builds). Either the loop is bugged or I'm doing something REALLY wrong
-
Hey, TrashMan! I had an idea that might work, but I haven't tried it or even thought about it too much.
What if you had both missions (5a and 5b) have a cutscene and nothing else? Then use some fancy is-previous-event-true sexps to make it run 6a and 6b (which would basically be what you wanted to put in 5a and 5b)...
Or you could just do like that with actual missions, but then they'd have the opportunity to exit loop when you don't want them to.
Not sure if this would work.
KTHX
-
I'm pretty sure I've done something wrong here, but I don't know exactly what. I've forgot my loops :o
So to explain better.
I got mission 5 that has two branches...to 5a (normal branch) and to 5b (loop). Both branching conditons are set to true.
-
*pokes head back into thread*
Once you can run your mod though a debug build I'll help with this problem but it is a complete waste of my time to do that while you can't even run the campaign editor in debug mode.
-
Maybe the debug is bugged? :D
Hell, all missions work fine for me, it's the campaign editor that's wonky. I'll try some other builds.
However, what you missed is that I was asking the PROPER PROCEDURE when making a simple branching.
5
/ \
5a 5b
\ /
6
See, I want this, but I'm not sure how to go about it...Damn my terrible memory.
-
And Shade has already explained how to do that.
-
So basicely, like this: (\\ is loop)
5
/ \\
5a 5b
\ /
6
So after mission 5 is over, I should get that SOC assigment window (with whatever text I type in).
If I click accept I got to 5b, if I click no I go to 5a?
