Platform specific labels

[LoBlo]

I've figured it out.

1. Create a Automatic Global Trigger with the triggering criteria = "Current controllable is (X)".
2. Make the trigger create a dynamic group called "Side X Labels and Goals"
3. Place all labels and goals for that side in the trigger. Whenever you choose that as a platform it will spawn all the labels and goal triggers for that side.

Good thinking!

So, does this mean than mission designers can now make maps that have different Nav Map notations for each side?

Yep, that's exactly what it means. NavMap lables can be in dynamic groups too.

No LW, because each side will see the notations, also the notations for the other side.
It's only working when you have two different platforms with different tasks, and put them in a dynamic group with one to show in the game.

Huh?

you mean in multiplayer whenever two sides coexist? I'm not sure if each side will see the others labels in a MP game.... Someone will have to try it out and tell me. Ideally then each player will only see his/her sides NavMap label.

Works perfect in singleplayer though.

I did, and all sides see the label text, unfortunately. Ohh, and not working in SP either. If you see it otherwise, I like to see your solution, please.
