REM statement in editor

[granola1861]

*posted in DCS wishlist first then realized this was the more appropriate location  

It Could be handy to be able to add notes for mission designers in the trigger section of mission editor. My thoughts would be to add "Rem" as an additional trigger type under the (once, mission start, continuous) drop down and to also add "Notes" for an action item drop down.  The notes could be used in the normal action list to provide notes for that particular set of actions or describe flags and their actions.

By having Rem as an action type could also be used to turn off a particular trigger line for design/testing work.

Doesn't seem this would be difficult to add. I have limited programming knowledge but have always relied on Rem statements to organize code. This along with the existing color coding could help mission builders keep chaos under control.

I agree, for now I use a standard ONCE trigger, with its NAME field set to my comment text, pity that it's length is limited. Since triggers with no action are not allowed, I use an inoffensive action (Flag 999 to ON) instead, it looks like this:

 

 

Last year I made a similar wish to yours:

 

 

... but so far it doesn't seem to have gathered any interest from ED   hopefully, yours will have better luck.

Best regards.
