mission variables?
what are the missions variables?
can we explain how do they work? PLEASE HELP ME...I WANT PUT THEM IN MY NEW MISSION...:hail: |
Oh man...
The vague explanation: a mission variable is like a switch that you can change with .bms or .wac events. How the switch is triggered and what actions that switch activates is up to you. I really wish I could clearly express the level of flexibility a strong understanding of mission variables allows a mapper to have over triggers and actions, but it's not easy to explain off the cuff. I'll tell you this: I've used variables to make really complicated helicopter patrols with various routes and landing zones. I've used variables to make day-night cycles for DFBHD missions, along with more or less random weather patterns. I even worked up a thing where I had a somali yelling, but the closer you got to him, the quieter the yell got. I like using increasing variables for timers. How about you tell me a bit about what you want to do and I'll tell you what I can to help? |
Thank Baldo_the_Don
But can you create a tutorial for this thing? I have tried every day this mission variables but the mission doesn't change... |
I want know all things of this fantastic game :)

Make a shortcut to the game and add the switch. Example: Code:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\NovaLogic\Deta Force Black Hawk Down\bhd.exe" /d |
Yeah I know
|
But when I put in the Med or Wac: "set mission variable 1 to 1" what change/happens at the mission?

You have to tell the game what you want when the variable is triggered. Example: if player in area 1 set mission variable 1 to 1 If variable 1 equals 1 teleport ssn |
They only serve this?
|
Then...the missions variables don't change the mission but they are only "triggers".
Right? |

i know these (triggers and actions from originals BHD's stock maps)
|
from the wac. file
|
anway...i don't have understood very well what change/appens at the mission when use the missions variables...
thanks anyway :) :) :) |
