[Vertigo 7]

ok I figured out how to make directives appear when i want them to, now how do i make them go away? =D

[Droid803]

They get cleared automatically if they're completed or failed and new ones pop up.
If you want one that's incomplete to go away, either set it to completed or failed, then bump it off.

That's how I've done it. There's probably another way.

[Vertigo 7]

this one's not clearing. my objective is clearing but the directive wont go away.... i don't have much going on, mainly just testing... anyways heres my mission...

i have an orion on my side and a corvette jumping in to attack the orion. I set a primary mission objective to destroy the corvette. that's working

i created an event SExp with "Destroy Reyena" as the directive text, chained to the reyena's arrival que.  After the Reyena's destroyed i get a RTB directive. That's working fine, but the "Destroy Reyena" directive isn't going away.

Objectives don't disappear from the Directives list until there's enough other directives that they get pushed out of the way.

[Droid803]

It should be set to completed, so why would you need it to go away?

And yeah, you need to push the directive off with more directives.

[Vertigo 7]

Oh i just wanted it to clear for the sake of orderliness.  Like i said, the objective was clearing... got the whole "primary objective complete 1/1" thing and all. I just didn't know that the directive wouldn't go away unless it got pushed off. How many directives can fit on there at 1 time?

[Droid803]

I think like, five lines.
If you add "Alt-J" it'll eat up another line, so you MAY be able to push it off like that.

And most of us are fine with ignoring completed directives, and I personally prefer to have it there (reminds me of what happened).

[Vertigo 7]

meh I suppose you're right. I never really payed much attention to them in the fs2 campaign.

[WMCoolmon]

I don't really pay attention to the briefings. Beta 3 sits in front of me, and she's got a great butt.

What? A little roleplaying is healthy sometimes.

[Vertigo 7]

lol

[Goober5000]

Pics or it didn't happen.

(And you'd better hurry; she might die any mission now.)

[Vertigo 7]

yeah, use that line about how you may never see her again, etc etc. But i also heard that if you don't out rank her she won't put out

I heard she's actually Petrach's kid.

No, you're thinking of Gamma 2

Edit: Oh, crap, it says flight technician in that first picture. Maybe I should swap the photos?

...nah, that would just be cruel.

You should just edit the photo...or make a new one

Shh!

Directive text: Defeat Am'aaza Wing

dont use am'aaza name but replace it, and change the delay if you need to. that will make the directive not appear until that specified wing arrives, once completed it will turn blue and unless you got more wings in the same events that directive will remain in blue until you have finished your mission.

i am not sure if you can remove that objectives window, eye candy is not as important was what your objective is, i can make an argument out of it but because i suspect everyone is tired of it i wont .

as for the flight deck techie, a flying brick in the background!!! is she gonna cut that thing up into small pieces?

No, Snail WMCoolmon. Just no. (Sorry, Snail, I got confused from the two hyperlinks while I was posting.)

No one needs to be scarred for life from that anymore.

EDIT: I corrected myself too soon, Snail's link has it too!
