How do I make a next objective?

[RonnieJ 10]

What I am trying to do is giving the mission some flow... so some objects are not visible to the beginning... so when some trigger happens I want some markers to apear together with some units... any "easy" way of doing this? I havent really tried to "hide" stuff yet... :confused:

Not sure how I can set theese objectives pop in the mission briefing either... they have to be hidden at first and pop on a trigger...

Anyone able to help me with this?

thx.

You don't hide anything, you create units and tasks as needed.

Hi,

For hidding markers, i put in init.sqf :

"markername" setMarkerAlpha 0;

When you want this to appear put in the trigger :

"markername" setMarkerAlpha 1;

Don't know if it's conventionnal but it works !

For hidden objectives, you have to create several briefing.sqf and call them in a trigger.

Place an empty marker on the editor and name it, for example: mkrObj3. Now in the missions folder you should have a folder named Briefings in which you should have your Briefing.sqf which is called at the start. make a new sqf file for example NewOrders.sqf.

tskObj3 = player createSimpleTask ["Got another job for you"];


tskObj3	setSimpleTaskDescription ["Your not finished yet lads
go kill some more Dudes", "Got another job for you", "More stuff to Do"]; 

//sets a marker on the map
tskObj3 setSimpleTaskDestination (getMarkerPos "mkrObj3");

player setCurrentTask tskObj3;

and call it with a trigger condition e.g:

taskCompleted tskObj1 AND taskCompleted tskObj2;

and On Act

nul=[] execVM "Briefings\NewOrders.sqf";

or you could call in a waypoint if you want. So on activation what you get is, in the map a new task called "Got another job for you" and objective maker which is set as the current task and the HUD title "More stuff to Do" in game.
