I made a repetitive loop back on timer activated once every 60 seconds in a Mission that will sound horns for ships in the fog. I used the Handy Wind with 3 Moving Zones linked to it. Then when you fly into the 1st zone called Far you get the first horn 2 blasts then it goes into the loop back. As long as you are in the Far Zone you will hear the horns low volume Far away going off 2 blasts every 60 seconds. When you enter into the Next Zone Medium it shuts off the 1st far horns turns on the 2nd Medium Horns then same thing loops back between 2 Repetitive conditions every 60 seconds. The 3rd zone is setup the same way using the same repetitive conditions looping between each other every 60 seconds sounding one two blast of the horns. I've never seen anyone do this or make a Mission Editor Tutorial on the Use of a Loop Back on Timer condition. In this video is the loop backs in action. I will post my mission soon and you can look at the Mission editor actions and conditions. I got the job done BUT. remember It is a single player Training mission for me to get better at using the radio to contact units for navigation assistance to them in the fog by use of my Compass Only. Old School low Tech way to do it but I'm wanting to us the Compass for this in low visibility for my training. Also I am using the "PLAY SOUND TO ALL" for Handy Wind and for the Oliver Hazard Perry I'm using a Radio Transmission on AM 116. I don't like doing this but I am limited to playing more then one sound file at a time unless split up this way.

It's kind of a cool Idea and could be used for other things in a mission other then Sound files. I put trigger messages on each action for testing so I know when a trigger is working for troubleshooting broken actions and conditions. It's a easy way to find thing during testing.  Have you ever Used something like this Repetitive Loop Back On a Timer or seen this done in some way? I think it's kind of cool and unique. I have them set up to go off when flying into the zones  Far1st Medium2nd Close3rd then Close1st Medium2nd Far3d. when leaving the zones.
