Removing Diary Entries

[Coronel_Niel 10]

Hi, im creating a rather large mission, so I was wondering, how do I remove diary entries? As the situation changes, I dont want to have a huge diary.

Depends on how you're using the two, diary vs task. I've used Diaries as the "overall situation", the background to the mission and maybe some high level goals or extra information for the soldiers. Static stuff basically.

Tasks are the actual objectives. Those are goals that can be added, removed or changed depending on the flow of battle.

During an invasion (task) you're not going to suddenly not want to invade anymore (diary). During a sabotage mission you might not want to sabotage anymore (tasks), but you're not going to forget the reasons for you being there (diary)
