Help please with setting up mission goals (scoring)...miz file included

[pbpullman]

I modified the stock A-10c mission "Shooting Gallery" and added a point scoring system based not only on how many target groups the player kills, but how fast they kill them. If they get all of the ground target groups, 75 points should be scored. How much of the remaining 25 points they earn depends on the time elapsed from when they first enter a "timer" trigger zone, to the time that all ground targets are destroyed. There are five time tiers with the following point allocation:

 

<27 minutes: 25 points

27-32 minutes: 21 points

33-39 minutes: 14 points

40-45 minutes: 7 points

>45 minutes: 0 points

 

So far what's been happening is I finish the mission having killed the targets and finishing within the 33-39 minute range without wingman help, yet the scores I receive are ridiculous numbers like 119 and 211. Somewhere there is some recursive counting going on, but I haven't been able to find it. There are only 2 flags, one of which increases in value. Should be pretty simple. :)

I see you've set up mission goals for scoring points. Have you accounted for the fact that there are also points automatically added for every enemy you destroy, through the built in scoring system?

 

See following post for point value per enemy by type:

Excellent resource mejh. You definitely did your homework on this one. I need to explore World's file structure a lot more. But it's been all I can do at the moment stumbling through mission design beyond what the manual tells you, through trial and error. Thanks for your post... now all I need to do is adjust the total score and add in a custom score. The auto scoring system will do all the rest. Problem solved!:pilotfly:

Took a while to compile it, I'll tell you that :D Good luck on your mission!
