How Do I Create and Add Objectives?

[Lawman1965]

Yet another question from a newbie to Editing. I have the basic bones of my mission - I have created the enemy bases and targets, added units.

I want 3 objectives -

1. Kill an officer
2. Destroy Shilka1
3. Destroy Shilka2

I have added the required units and named them officer, shilka1 and shilka2

I have used CHris's Editor thing to create a breifing and added the three objectives. But I don't know what I need to do to get them up and running in game. Do I use triggers, scripts or the init line in the units to activate the objective list.

I have created a trigger that ends the game when all the units are dead using the

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">not alive shilka1[/QUOTE] etc.

But I don&#39;t think thats the best way to end. I&#39;d like to end the game using the individual objectives.

Is there anyone out ther that can offer some advice in plain languange? I really don&#39;t understand much about this editor just yet.

You could try in the activation:-

not (alive officer) and not (alive shilka1) and not (alive shilka2)

in the TYPE of the trigger and choose End #1
to end the mission&#33;

and another trigger :- not (alive officer)
and instead of :- end #1 select NONE
then select EFFECTS -text so that when officer is killed,

text says? Good job guys officer illiminated&#33;

and two triggers for the shilka&#39;s&#33; -for text hints

Gez hope that made sense? http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/wink_o.gif

Yeah - I know that the search is a cool feature and I already read that topic. It means nothing to me, what I need to know is how to make and use objectives. I don&#39;t understand init files and stuff like that yet.

Any more help will be appreciated.

I managed to figure the issue out.
