Selecting certain messages at random for one event?
on: August 07, 2008, 04:18:22 pm
I'm basically trying to do something similar to Karajorma's banter system. Say a hostile wing jumps in. Similar to how Freespace handles hostiles warping in, I want the mission to randomly select an "incoming" message and loop. I asked Karajorma about this and apparently his method is overkill, and I have no clue how to do this.

I wept. Mysterious forces beyond my ken had reached into my beautiful mission and energized its pilots with inhuman bomb-firing abilities. I could only imagine the GTVA warriors giving a mighty KIAAIIIIIII shout as they worked their triggers, their biceps bulging with sinew after years of Ivan Drago-esque steroid therapy and weight training. - General Battuta

Well I've never tried it but I assume it would be similar to my random wing arrival order stuff.  Check out FUBAR_MT04.fs2

Basically you would want to modify that so when a certain number pops up a message is displayed instead of a wing arriving.

Something like that is in Mystery Of The Trinity (I think it's called select-random-message or so). Look at the event that says you have to form up on Zeta.
