Scripting end of missions

[thetrooper 10]

Hi guys, does anyone know how to script an END1, END2 or Lose etc for a mission? Also with this to script any of the music tracks to play?

[Joe98 92]

Set one trigger as END 1

Another as END 2

Another as LOSE

The triggers have an option that when the trigger fires music plays.

yeah fully aware of that, I wondered if there was a way you could script it within a .sqf file?

I've tried a

endMission "END1";

But does not close the game up?

Endmission "END1";

Exit;

Works well for me

[thetrooper 10]

ok, I've got some sort of conflict going on :confused: What about to lose mission? I'm guessing

Endmission "LOSE";
Exit;

?

[Koni 3]

Should be yes...

Are you testing these out in the editor ?

[thetrooper 10]

Thought so. That aint good.

Try something like this for music:

Outro.sqf

playMusic "Short01_Defcon_Three"
30 fadeSound 0;
30 fadeMusic 0;
titleCut ["","Black Out",30];
sleep 31;
endMission "END1";

I have uploaded the mission onto the User Missions Forum. I still don't know why it's not working. Feel free to rip it to pieces and work out why, because I can't.

Hi, I just took a quick peek and I notice you didn't format a Briefing.html with various endings. Ill take a look at the mission now -where do you have your attemted endings scripted?

[thetrooper 10]

Should be dude. What does it say?

[froggyluv 2136]

I figured it out

sleep 2;
tskobj_5 setTaskState "SUCCEEDED";
taskhint ["Objective Complete!\nEscape from the Russians", [0, 1, 0, 1], "taskDone"];
sleep 4;
titleCut ["","BLACK OUT",3][color="Red"];[/color]
Endmission "END1";
Exit;

You were missing that semicolon so it couldn't proceed to endmission.

[thetrooper 10]

No way! I suppose the other one for when 'sister' and 'father' die is the same?

[froggyluv 2136]

Im not sure -I only looked at your endmission.sqf -tho if you've copy/pasted similar code -thats likely.

[thetrooper 10]

it's a trigger that fires it North where you start. fires a SQF file called

fathersisdead.sqf

There is also another one for the brother who should never die called

familydead.sqf

[froggyluv 2136]

The trigger works fine but it's not ending and noticed you are using the "lose" ending -I don't like those so you could just make more End2/End3/End4 etc..

In the Briefing.html -you can create text/pictures etc to accompany that ending.

Hmm, interesting. I'm guessing you could use and END2 for instance as a Lose? Still at the moment it doesn't close down, so what's the solution for that?

[froggyluv 2136]

It works -I just put

Endmission "end2";

in Fathersisdead.sqf and mission ended with 3 red X's.

[thetrooper 10]

red X's?

[froggyluv 2136]

Meaning mission ended in failure which is what you'd want I'd suppose.

[thetrooper 10]

Ok, cool I'll test it out myself. Thanks for your input. have a go playing it and see what you get on and if you get into it. Feedback is always welcome. Got a good story line to develop for it.
