I posted a fix for this mission in the thread "Fix for The Great Battle?" The fix may be more trouble than it's worth, though -- you have to unpack the campaign, edit the mission, and then repack the campaign. Hopefully, BIS will fix it in an update...

That's a good point. I tested it out in a dummy mission, and it didn't seem to work that way. I suspect the undefined variable makes the entire expression undefined.

Hi all, Sorry for creating yet another Great Battle topic, but I didn't want this to get buried... I hated not being able to finish the mission, so I un-pbo'd the campaign, and poked around in this mission. I noticed that the trigger for switching to the counter-attack on the east base is: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">expCond="(((count units e1)+(count units e2)+(count units e3)+(count units e4)) < 5) && hlaskajsoutu==1"; I believe the problem is that there is no group e4. e1 and e3 are groups of T-72s; e2 is a group of BMPs; but if you search the mission.sqm for e4, the condition above is the only reference. I changed the condition to: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">expCond="(((count units e1)+(count units e2)+(count units e3)) < 5) && hlaskajsoutu==1"; and the mission worked fine. After I destroyed the last BMP, I got a radio message to attack the east base. I went over there, blew up the armor, and got the mission complete. If you want to fix your own campaign: 1. Get a pbo utility (e.g. download Kegety's ArmA Tools in the download section at http://www.armed-assault-zone.com) 2. Go to \ArmA\Campaigns\ 3. Back up your ca.pbo! Make a copy, call it ca.orig.pbo. (You'll probably need to put the original ca.pbo back before you run the next official patch.) 4. Un-pbo ca.pbo 5. Open the file \ArmA\Campaigns\ca\Missions\08Gryphons.Sara\mission.sqm in a text editor 6. Search for "e4" -- you should see the first line of code above. Replace with the second line of code. 7. Re-pbo the ca directory. I'm running the Sprocket CZ 1.02 version. The usual disclaimers apply: try this at your own risk. Be sure to back up ca.pbo! Hope this helps. -LR

Has anyone out there successfully finished this mission?

I noticed something... After I destroyed the last tank in the second base, I got the radio message "good job, now hold the base." I saved at this point. When I looked at the objective marker on the base (after the "hold the base" radio message) it still read "Capture the base." First try: I waited outside the base, destroyed the T-72 and BMP that came over the hill, and then moved to the objective marker on the base. When I got to the marker, it changed to "hold the base", but the mission didn't end...and it never did, no matter what I tried. I reloaded the game, and went to the objective marker before the T-72 and BMP came over the hill (so it changed to "hold the base"); after I destroyed the T-72 and BMP, the mission immediately ended. I haven't re-tested it, it could just be a coincidence...but could this explain the problems people are having? You have to go to the marker before the counter-attack, or you'll be stuck in limbo? I guess I'll have to open up the script file, and look at the triggers. BTW, I'm on 1.02 Czech version, and I didn't get the script error. HTH, Lowrider
