Title: Can this be done?
Post by: Sheridan_37 on April 08, 2012, 03:37:30 am

Hi all,

I am fredding a recon mission/fighter sweep, but what i would like to know is whether i can have different outcomes everytime i replay the mission? for example i am conducting my patrol and one time i play the mission enemy ships are present and another time i play they are not.

Hope you get the gist of what i am on about.

many thanks.

You have to use the "rand" operator with a variable, like this:

true
modify-variable
-(Variable Name)
-rand
--1
--3 (or however many mission outcomes you want)

Then use

=
-(Variable Name)
-Outcome number

for mission events, arrival cues, and possible debriefings.

Here's an example arrival cue for a wing you want to arrive only in mission outcome #2:

=
-MissionVersion
-2

where MissionVersion is obviously the name of the variable and the number below it is the ID of the mission outcome.
