Placing mines

[FERdeBOER]

Hello again.

I´m trying a mission about placing mines in a harbour entrance, but can´t make the goals for placing the mines . And couldn´t find anything in the manual or another similar custom missions.

Thank you for your help, and sorry for asking so many times.

On top of you screen you find the Editor Menu, look under ADD, select, Minefield. (page 25)

Fish I think this is not what the guy meant, he wanted to make placing mines a task for player (and goal that is trigered when the mines are placed by the *player*).

It's easy to do, I did it for some of my scenarios and I know it works.

Use the detection goal, so that when a certain object (in this case mine) appears on the given spot, the goal is triggered. I think mines (as objects in the editor) are under "Civilian" group (can be confusing).

Gee, I realize now my mission editor skillz got rusty, I can't even remember the names of certain procedures

Let me know if you still have problems, I'll try to be more specific.

Thank you both for your answer, but OlegM is right, I meant placing mines by the player as a goal.
Sorry if didn´t explain it well.

As soon as I can I will try Oleg's method and I will post the result.

Thank you again.

Thank you very much Oleg.

It works perfectly... well almost perfectly. I had to set the objet as a torpedo, not a mine.
The mission is with 688i, maybe is for the type of mine de LA uses...

But the important is that works.
