I know there is probably a walkthrough for this some-where, but after 2 days of looking around and not finding anything I'm coming to you guys.

I'm FREDing a mission with a few fighter and cruiser wings jumping in, I'm trying to get the events to display numbers beside them, you know, things like:

Destroy Arjuna(4)
Protect Lambda Wing(3)
etc.

Can any of you help me with how to do this? I've checked the FRED walkthrough, and I can't find anything mentioning thes.

Thank you.

The game will automatically figure out how to place the numbers when you give it a directive which comes true when you have something like this

Destroy Arjuna
when
-is destroyed
-Arjuna
-do-nothing

Make sure you've entered the directive text for this event (Below the list of events is the box for this) and FS2 will notice that there are 3 fighters in Arjuna wing and automatically add the number to the directive.

For Lambda wing make an event like this

when
-has-departed-delay
-Lambda
-do-nothing

Again fill in the directive and FS2 will count how many of Lambda wing have gotten away.


As for the walkthrough there's lots of advice in my FAQ and if you don't have the FS2 walkthrough you can get it from there too (check the downloads section).

Thank you, I didn't realise it was so simple, I've been looking for a command to deal with it.

I have the FS2 Walkthrough, but thank you for pointing out your FAQ, I'll be sure to check it out.
