Bug with has-arrived-delay and starting wing names
on: February 09, 2013, 05:27:40 pm
I cannot get Beta wing to arrive later in my mission. If I set its arrival cue with has-arrived-delay with enemy cruiser as an argument, it never arrives. If I rename it to something other than Beta, the arrival cue suddenly works. The worst part is that the problem does not always appear - I have managed to get it working by deleting and exactly recreating the wing, but it stopped working again after a while..   :doubt: Since the bug is hard to recreate, the mission is attached.

So, anyone tried to test the attached mission to confirm the bug?

Check the ship selection screen (in the game, not FRED). Is Beta wing assigned any ships? I'm guessing not.

Yes it is, and now when I downloaded the mission it suddenly works again even though I am sure it was the buggy mission that I uploaded... :/ Why is this happening?

Your PC doesn't like you?

Weird bugs are a common occurrence during mission design unfortunately. Sometimes they indicate an issue with the engine which won't resurface again for years.
Karajorma's Freespace FAQ. It's almost like asking me yourself.
