That's the save trigger's code. Now, the problem is: Only the first formation of the above spawns. Those fprmations are copies of the original non-savegame formations since I had to change the spawn location.
Not only that, but the trigger named "Spawn_rogues" which is suppose to spawn the rogues (obviously) doesn't spawn them. Maybe I don't yet fully understand how the in-mission save system works?

Thanks for any help!

SWAT_OP-R8R · Aug 13th 2012

personally i would never use a save trigger to spawn something for the fact that these triggers are put into the autosave and no matter which changes you do to them the autosave always will load the original trigger version

then you should check the formation settings... if the position fits and so on

polarbear · Aug 14th 2012

Okay, I'll try to make separated triggers and will see if everything works.
And I checked the location, everything should be correct.

As you can see, I tried separating it as much as I can, and it's no use.

Here are the formations copied comparing to the original ones:

Code

[MsnFormation]
nickname = ontrent_formation
position = -33456, -110, -28340
orientation = 0, 0, 1, 0
formation = fighter_basic
ship = King
ship = Juni
[MsnFormation]
nickname = ontrent_formation_save
position = 21264, 0, -71771
orientation = 0, 0, 1, 0
formation = fighter_basic
ship = King
ship = Juni
[MsnFormation]
nickname = ODA_formation
position = -30763, -500, -60916
orientation = 0, 0, 1, 0
formation = fighter_basic
ship = Orillion
ship = Junker_Dustin
ship = Junker_Adams
[MsnFormation]
nickname = ODA_formation_save
position = 21121, 0, -71965
orientation = 0, 0, 1, 0
formation = fighter_basic
ship = Orillion
ship = Junker_Dustin
ship = Junker_Adams

It all seems right, right?

SWAT_OP-R8R · Aug 15th 2012

can you jump into another system and open the then created autosave with one of the savegame editors?
it would be interesting to see if the changes are actually in effect.

the mission triggers should be inside the autosave now

polarbear · Aug 16th 2012

The autosave doesn't seem to have any triggers in it... I think it might be a problem with the game. Would you mind to be the first and honored tester of the mod?

its offen just a minor structure problem which make things work in singleplayer missions
i also spent many hours building new triggers out of old ones just to see that the entire behaviour sometimes change

polarbear · Aug 16th 2012

Thanks milkman!

And yes, I had many problems with the arrangement of triggers... It takes a lot of time to build a propper mission, but it's totally worth it!

themilkman · Aug 16th 2012

In this case, the issue was with multiple formations using the same MsnShip.

Be careful with your typos too:

Code

Act_SerVibe = Juni, Orillion, REP_FRIEND_THRESHOLD
Act_SerVibe = Orillion, Juni, REP_FRIEND_THRESHOLD
Act_SerVibe = King, Orillion, REP_FRIEND_THRESHOLD
Act_SerVibe = Orillion, King, REP_FRIEND_THRESHOLD

Actually, a better and easier idea would be to put

Code

Act_SetVibeLbl = us, us, REP_FRIEND_MAXIMUM

in a trigger and call it whenever one of the player's escorts is spawned.
With FRIEND_MAXIMUM, Juni won't start gunning down King if she accidentally gets hit with his missile (that's what she said)

polarbear · Aug 16th 2012

Thanks for the tips! I see you understand something in mission scripts, would you mind if I consult with you privately about further issues?

Absolutely, feel free to PM me if you need any assistance... I'm interested to see how this project will turn out.
