Need help with fixing a Mission
Ok well I have almost completed my campaign need to fix 2 missions (Including this one) and make one more, but I have been trying to fix this damn mission for 4 hours and still havent gotten it rigth, I am having trouble getting the messages to trigger correctly.

I am wondering if anybody could take a look at it and see if there is anything obviusly wrong about it (migth have forgotten somthing or not using a SEXP correctly), Also there isent really a finish to the mission yet I havent gotten to that point yet ( it is going to be when Invasion wing have docked with the station).

Have packed everything into a nice little .vp file with the mod.ini file. (Needed to make a .vp dile since the mission features the GTD Raynor, GTCv Chimera and two Hyperion Cruisers)

So if anybody could take a look I would be very grateful.....

Re: Need help with fixing a Mission
Quick look tells me it's your message timings that are wrong. Remember that time delays on send-message-list are cumulative, so if the 2nd message has a delay of 5000ms and the 3rd a delay of 7000ms, the third will in fact show up 12000ms after the first. You've set up your timings as they should be if they are not cumulative, and as such you have messages going off on top of each other whenever you progress from one chained event to the next.

It's a common mistake, but also one easily fixed :)
