I need help creating and using the countdown times in the Mission Editor. There's like three different options. One in condition and 2 others in the action. I don't know what to use! _________________ Life is a mystery... it's frustrating to answer all the questions |

Counters are simple, eventually.
First, you condition has to be set after the first action is set. To start a timer, you should find an action that says somethig like "modify countdown timer" and in that menu it will ask you to do several things. Put in the time and caption, and that will start the timer.
Next, the condition is set to go off when the timer reaches a certain amount of time. Find the condition dealing with timers and set that up. The second action will set off when the condition is set. Finally, you should have another action in the same trigger as the condition that tells the timers to stop and turn off.
I forget all of the exact commands because I have the entire m.exe on a zip disk I don't have right now. Visit the FAQ at the top of this page; it should give you more details. |

Thx. I was able to get the timers set and stuff. Only problem is multiple conditions are setting off when the one timer expires. I'll try to solve this. In the meantime i'll check the FAQ for some info.
Thx again! _________________ Life is a mystery... it's frustrating to answer all the questions |
