Trying my hand at a mission for SH4

I'm still working through the various options for the objectives side of the game. I will post my findings once i'm either reasonably happy i know what each do (and whether they work,) or if I'm totally confused.:p

Bill. One little hint is that if you set an objective as 'Hidden Primary', it won't be visable either on the map or the captains orders until it is triggered.

I've had a few probs getting some things to work, So it'll be interesting to see what everones findings are.

Thanks, Binky1st. Worked like a champ.

My new mission (actually a War Patrol) can be downloaded in a separate post.

Egan - Looking forward to hearing about what you are learning. Keep us posted, please!

You can even make a good single patrol by only creating your sub and
a "sink tonnage" objective. The game layers will supply all the AI needed to
give you a run for your money...

True. Although, in my scenario I wanted a specific Japanese convoy to appear, as described in O'Kane's patrol report.
