Player score control

[Wrench]

In the ME, I know its possible to control the player's score with triggers, otherwise you'd never end up with the right amount to go where you want to go in the campaign. The problem is, I can't figure out how to tell DCS what the player's score is supposed to be.

Let's suppose I'm having a bomber destroy a runway. How do I set the 'bomb in zone' trigger to give the player a score I want even when the player is in an f-15c and has only shot down 2 mig-29's, for a total of much less then, say, 50 points?

Set rules for Trigger

CONDITIONS-

PLAYER SCORES MORE

PLAYER SCORES LESS

 

DEFINE MISSION GOALS

New mission goal = Score% you want

Condition = Bomb in zone(or whatever condition you set)

That Mission Goals window needs an overhaul. Get a bunch of lines in there and it is not easy to add more, and they can't be sorted.

Ooooh, so the mission goals are where you score. I thought it meant that in order to win (to achieve a 'goal') you need a certain score and certain conditions must be met. I get it now, thanks.

I don't use the Mission Goals feature very much. I'll usually define my Red & Blue win conditions by Group Dead or Coalition Out Of Zone type of events. But I do have a mission where Blue has to get to 100 points, or more, to win -- in that mission there are a bunch of 5 point objectives, and some bigger objectives worth 25 points or so. Once Blue gets > 99 then they win. Recently I added more of the 5 point conditions so there are ~20 of those now and that's why I made the comment above.
