mikeap 0 Posted March 30, 2011 (edited) All, I have 2 questions regarding mission briefs and objectives. 1. I'm looking for a way to start SP missions at the map screen, giving players the option to 'continue' after they've read the mission briefing, much like ArmA2 and OA scenarios. 2. How would I automatically set tasks? For example, my first objective isnt setting as default, and when thats complete neither is the second. Got it, thank you Much appreciated. Thank you Edited March 30, 2011 by MikeAP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
demonized 20 Posted March 30, 2011 1: I thought that the current game was waiting on the map menu until admin presses continue. Edit: only for MP. just assumed players meant MP missions. 2: http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Tasks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikeap 0 Posted March 30, 2011 (edited) Ok thanks. I tossed this up in my briefing and it works now tskobj_1 = player createSimpleTask["Secure the Crash Site"]; tskobj_1 setSimpleTaskDescription ["Secure the <marker name='CrashSite'>crash site</marker>, destroy the crashed helicopter", "Secure the Site", "Crash Site"]; tskobj_1 setSimpleTaskDestination (getMarkerPos "CrashSite"); tskobj_1 setTaskState "assigned"; player setCurrentTask tskobj_1; I'm still trying to find info on the map briefing...I tried searching, but I'm not even sure what its propperly called Edited March 30, 2011 by MikeAP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
demonized 20 Posted March 30, 2011 from above link Tasks can be created at any time from anywhere (trigger, script, etc). They do not need to be created in a file called "briefing.sqf" try using init.sqf or another script started from init.sqf regarding this: tskobj_1 setSimpleTaskDescription ["Secure the <marker name='CrashSite'>crash site</marker>, destroy the crashed helicopter", "Secure the Site", "Crash Site"]; not sure if it will work, maybe look at this link: http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setSimpleTaskDescription Read the above link and click on each or search for each command in the wiki there and you will get it to work.

demonized 20 Posted March 30, 2011 I had to read that twice...but for some reason I cant get them to work off of Triggers i pasted code in a trigger and activated it by radio trigger and with entering trigger area, all working as normal.Probably an spelling error or error in trigger condition.

shuko 59 Posted March 30, 2011 And triggers dont activate during briefing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikeap 0 Posted March 30, 2011 (edited) Anyone have any clue about the mission briefing screen. I've been checking google, but didnt find anything. and..just for clarification. My mission brief screen isnt loading during SP Scenarios. When the game starts, it has all the notes and tasks, just not letting the player go to a briefing before being thrown into the game.

PELHAM 10 Posted March 31, 2011 (edited) Add a briefing.html? In your Description.ext do you have the following line? Briefing = 1; Note from wiki: http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Description.ext Briefing = 0; Skip briefing screen for SP missions. If no briefing.html is present, it is skipped anyway. Note: Added in 1.05 Also you need this at the top of your init.sqf [] execVM "briefing.sqf"; BriefedUnits = []; This is an empty briefing.html - save it as briefing.html from notepad. <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1250"> <title>Title</title> </head> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <! -----DEBRIEFING-----> <! -----DEBRIEFING END-----> </body> </html> Tested all the above - a map will appear with the briefing notes at the start of the mission. You have to press 'continue' to start. Edited March 31, 2011 by PELHAM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
