End Mission - only for SP?

[609_Relentov]

According to the DCS UG:

 

END MISSION. If you wish to have the mission end according one or more specified conditions being set to true, you can use this action. This can be a handy action to end a mission after all mission objectives have been met. In the text box, you can also enter text that will appear when one side has won the mission.

 

I've tried using the "End Mission" command in the ME (triggers) to end an MP mission but it doesn't seem to work. Is this only for SP missions? One note, I'm not using mission goals functionality - is this a requirement?

 

Thanks,

For MP (but not SP :) ) you can use Load Mission which will restart the same mission or load another. I guess you could have both and depending upon SP or MP one of them would work.

 

You do not need Mission Goals, but that can be used to win points that can lead to a win/loss determination.

 

Usually I will define my own win/loss conditions and once met I'll start a countdown, typically 5 minutes, until the mission reloads. I will broadcast a message every minute during the countdown so folks know what is about to happen.

Thanks - I had used the load mission and it worked OK, but I didn't want to force a new mission reload if the End Mission worked as I thought it would. I wonder if this will be fixed (if it's a bug), or if was really just meant for SP.

 

Thanks again.
