Title: Additional FRED2 commands
Post by: Fr3z3r on April 22, 2002, 03:05:10 am: Is there a list of FRED2 sexp's that are not selectable? I mean the ones that work, but you have to type them yourself... Like that sexp in Derelict (good, old Derelict ;)) displaying a message in blue below your hull integrity indicator.

TIA.

You mean the training-message? Its under the Training submenu. The only other one I know is grant-medal or something like that.

No such SEXP.

Because it's flash-hud-gauge and is listed. :)

Except for End-Mission-Delay and Cond, which don't work, the unlisted SEXPs all seem to be side effect functions and usable through listed functions. End-Mission-Delay might be able to be made usable by uncommenting some code and changing it's catagory for those of us with the source who can compile it. :)
