There are a few conditions that do require a link in that way but not as many as used to be true since the is-event-true-delay can now be used instead by supplying the optional 3rd argument.

I think that can only be used to control when the directive is satisfied. You still need a chained event to control when it shows up, unless it's a simple type that the game recognizes.

I ran into a situation once where the directive wouldn't work correctly no matter what I tried (the "run away" one in the fifth PI mission, which shows as completed right away when it appears). I must have played with that for hours and tried all manner of chains and variables, but finally just gave up on it. In hindsight, it was probably a waste of time for something that small.

You don't need to chain any more. You can just use

is-event-true-delay
-EventName
-0
-false

That's kinda the whole point of the change

Oh, you mean the "weird" way to use that sexp. I guess that can actually be useful there. I thought you meant the true condition, which makes it behave like all the other operators do.

Um... I'm having smoe trouble making a Shivan Comm Node scannable.

I checked scannable, gave it cargo, But I'm still not able to scan it. i went into the 150 meter mark.

Whats the SEXP To making an object scannable?

[Ryan]

I found the Mission objective editor thingy. But i don't know the command to make an object scannable. what is that command?

[karajorma]

I don't know if you can actually make a Shivan Comm Node scannable. I think you're told to scan it in mission 1 but I can't remember if you actually got the chance.
