Mission progress?

[Conure]

Hey all,

 

Read somewhere there is a way to see mission progress or percent completed? Is this true? If so, how? Have searched the manual and GUI guide and cant find it!

 

Thank you

On my keyboard I press ' to get in mission scoring. Look for the Score value (0-100) to see your progress - anything over 50% is a mission pass.

Note that how this is handled is up to the mission designer - it is for example fully possible to make it "silent" such that the final score is only applied once a final condition is met, such as landing at home base.

 

Essentially, think of each score assignment as a trigger that requires both a "unit X dead" AND "player landed". In this case, checking the score in-flight might not actually show a value - it could show 0% even though you've done everything you should except the landing bit.

 

The purpose of such a setup could be to ensure that the player actually survived the mission, if it's part of a campaign, forcing the player to fly safe.

Thanks :)

On the same note, i have been flying one of the campains where you have to ensure 2 tank regiments (packer and another) reach their objective. I noticed that it will briefly show in the top right hand corner of the screen, that either they have been lost and i presume mission lost, or that they succeeded. I have flown the mission a couple of times and have sometimes missed the message because i have been too busy with my head in the cockpit (ok, i know i should be looking out the window - but i am still new to all this). Is there a way to recall this type of message, because if the people i am supposed to be protecting have been destroyed (but i missed the message), there is no point in me continuing and i might as well start again

Unfortunately not without editing the mission - such messages are typically triggered, and as such are part of the mission itself. To make them re-appear the designer (or you as a user) would have to change the trigger such that it will repeat with a given interval.

As a (very new) mission author I would have liked to hear a positive answer to this question because, from what I'm aware of, the "Message" action we're talking about would highly benefit from having a way to access some context dependent text content. Meaning wheter some Flag is true, false, more, less, ..., the message text would be this or that.

 

Currently, a mission author can provide a player-activated trigger like, for instance, press UFC Master Caution to do the trick with minimum interference with cockpit operations :

CONDITIONS:

X: COCKPIT ARGUMENT IN RANGE(403, 0.9, 1) // UFC Master Caution

 

ACTIONS:

Message TO ALL,

some smart text here

 

Maybe I've only missed something already there to do just that ?

 

That would look like: FLAG SET TEXT VALUE ;)
