Help with SC Mission Editor (if possible..)

Hadn't thought about that until I saw your reply. So I went ahead and did just that. Also took a peek at the original campaign missions and indeed, they have separate goals for detections (counter or otherwise) and then goals that trigger depending which detection goal was triggered.

Goal A (staying undetected) works fine but Goal B won't trigger at all. Active pinging, going flank at PD etc. just couple of nmi away had no effect. I wonder if the civilian boats are even made to 'detect' the player even if set to the enemy side

Guess I'll need to change one trawler into a warship and see what happens then.

Oh, yes, that's a good point. I'm assuming the civilian boats do not have the ability to detect haha. I think Dangerous Waters has a fishing boat that's really a spy ship or something but I don't know if Sub Command has such an entity. I suppose you could use a radial "detection radius" if you wanted to get a somewhat similar kind of effect.

I should probably just install DW but for some reason I tend to like Sub Command more, haha!

But I finally managed to make it work, yay! Had to add a warship in the mix. She'll now detect me if I start messing around.

I also deleted the Goal B altogether and simply included its raise/stream radio expressions, and the ensuing radio message, to the separate 'CounterDetect' goal. Now if the player is counter-detected (unbeknownst to them) and goes to receive the message they get the proper response.

Not to mention it even triggers the correct 'mission complete' radio message. Had to change things around a bit with the addition of the warship. Now there are two slightly different 'mission complete' messages depending if counter-detected or not.

Now my little campaign can finally progress past the first mission

Anyway, thanks for the input! Much obliged!
