You can use not.

It goes like this:

and-in-sequence
---has-ship-departed:
shipname
shipname
---not
------is-destroyed-delay:
station

Simply insert the names of the two ships to be protected in the data field for has-departed-delay, if they're jumping out. Then the mission will check to see if the station survived once those ships jump out.

Or you can trigger it to check following the destruction of all enemy units that threaten the ships you're protecting.

and-in-sequence
---is-destroyed-delay
wingname
wingname
wingname
"
---not
------is-destroyed-delay:
station

Simply add the names of the wings/capital ships that could concievably attack the two ships you're supposed to save. Thus, when they're safe, it will check to see if the station is still around.

Trashman, seriously... do the walkthrough. Don't just read it - make the mission, exactly as [V] tells you to. You've been here long enough that you should know to do the walkthrouh before you start FREDding, and many of the questions you're asking are answered in it. So yeah. Go do it. If you alredy have, do it again. Please.

Actually, I don't recall ever reading a FRED walktrough, nor having anything like that on my HDD /the closest that comes to mind is the FS2ReferenceGuide).

I learned FRED by intuition and trial-and-error...

He probably deleted it as part of the modding process; god knows I did.

Fortunately I have them available for download for all the HotU people who don't have them.

Oh.. one more thing...how does that background placing go?

It has 3 fields for position.


Now I figure the P is for Pitch and goes from 0 to 359 in degrees, when looked from the position of the default fighter placed by FRED (0 directly forward, 90 above, 180 behind, 270 below)

H would he Heading (0 front, 90 left, 180 behind, 270 right)

Bank would than be the rotation of the nebula pcx itslef.

Am I getting this right?

Cobra was having similar troubles with backrounds. You may want to check out: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,29567.0.html
