Campaign Scripted Layer mystery

The Butcher · 12-14-08, 04:42 PM

I have played around with the Stock Campaign_SCR to add some historic convoys. The problem I have is that they keep showing up even though I have them set to delete on last waypoint. Then to make things even more confusing some delete and some don't. I have set them up the same way. They evolve on entry date and delete on last waypoint. I have not found a good source of detailed information on the Mission Editor. If anybody knows of a manual I would be more than happy to RTFM.

Thanks

Not really a manual around as such
This might help

If not you can send me your files - email in profile - and will take a look for you

Convoys usually go into the RND unless a one off convoy then the SCR is used

Thanks BBW, It does answer some questions. I'm still not sure why they don't all delete on last way point even when checked but setting the exit date does it for sure. Since I thought the check box took care of it I didn't set any exit dates. I will put this manual to good use.

With an SCR convoy if the exit date is way after the time the convoy reaches its end point it will hang around despite the " delete on last waypoint " being checked
The ships will just sit there and build up reducing your FPS to a crawl
Easy targets too

Hope that PDF is of some use to you

Yeah, I was leaving them at the default 1945 end date.

Hey, nice signature.

Thanks for the help.
