Title: Command persona help
Post by: CommanderDJ on September 03, 2010, 12:40:28 am
Figured this should go here as it's not a FRED thing. Here goes:

Instead of Terran Command reporting stuff like incoming enemies etc, I want to have all those automated messages come from a capital ship. Do I just create a new command-type persona in messages.tbl, assign the messages I want to that persona, and then have the capital ship use that persona? Or is there more to it?
Thanks once again,

CommanderDJ

EDIT: Also, can I set more than one message of the same type to a persona? For example, having two different messages for the arrival of a new enemy so that the same one isn't played each time?

In the Mission Specs editor in FRED (Shift-N), under "Built-in command messages", set "Sender" to the ship that should send the messages. That oughta do it.
