Good tutorial HC. Just reading through - made a few minor tweaks, added a word here and here also expanded on 'irreversible' - hope I got that right about location I'm pretty sure. Also, is 'invisible' still active? Don't think it is in Dromed but maybe logically it makes more sense. Actually this might be used to do something like 'secrets'. If an objective is made invisible, say finding a secret object in the chimney, then when frobbed it might be made visible, might be worded as 'Found Secret! You found Blag's hammer hidden in the chimney!'

 

Looking at the Objectives wiki article it is not explicit but it implies invisible is still active.

Objectives can be set invisible and still be active, yes. As long as they are set incomplete, they are still active.

 

To make an objective invisible and not active, set it to state invalidated. This can be used to set up an objective that the player doesn't know about until later: you would initially set it invalidated and invisible, then when you're ready to activate it, set it visible and incomplete. (Although it's probably easier to add an objective during the mission by just creating another target_addobjectives with the new objective, [EDIT: setting wait_for_trigger to 1 on it] and triggering it when you want to add the objective).

There isn't an "Invisible" flag. Theres an "Irreversible".

 

If you want your objective invisible just make sure the visible box is unchecked.

 

I liked the additions to the logics and enabling.

 

When I get back from school, I'll fix some typos, put the thing about the invisible objective being the secret objective. And whatever else might need touching up.

 

EDIT: Glad you guys liked it! :-D

Oooh I like what you did. The sections make it easier to read and I like the extras above the FAQ.

 

I'll put your name in there too, otherwise I'll feel like I'm plagiarizing.

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.
