I encountered something in a mission file (SM3-02) that has me some what confused.

$Formula: ( is-previous-event-false
   "sm3-01"
   "All beams dead"
   ( true )
)

and

$Formula: ( is-previous-event-true
   "sm3-01"
   "All beams dead"
   ( false )
)

in the briefing section that determines which of two mission briefs you get.
Wouldn't these both equate to the same thing?

Nope.

I can't see the difference myself.

Someone explain.

The events are checking for opposite conditions.  When playing the main campaign, the first event evaluates to true when you fail to destroy all of the Sathanas' main beams, and the second event evaluates to true when you successfully destroy all of the Sathanas' main beams.  In the mission simulator, the first event always evaluates to true, and the second event always evaluates to false.

[edit]Goob didn't provide a complete answer because he's finishing those reviews for the 2005 FRED contest.  Right, Goob?[/edit]

Nope.

You ask a quick question, you get a quick answer...
