Just ran the latest scen file posted and the ViCondition has failed to evaluate, again.

It looks like it may not have been removed as previously stated. [:(]

Instead of 'hoping' things would work, I tested, again, and it does not work.

I'm always willing to help those who ask for it.  But, since none has been solicited here, I won't be 'forcing' my assistance on anyone.  [/align]  [/align] Instead, a scenario is repeatedly presented as ready for play.  So, I'll keep (trying) to play it.[/align]

OK Herman give me a solution , go into scen edit and fix the problem then email me it[:)] and for anybody else you can give me a solution too, as it is my first scenario built using 3.7.1 beta the VCs take alot of getting used too, I am trying as Herman knows to sort out the VC problem ie 2 VC of damage on the same level after compisite both must be achieved to achive VC so guys any ideas, you may rip the scen apart if you wish I have not a problem with that, so Herman as I have said earlier give me a solution or has another bug appeared in the system I tried the last scen an tested it and the VC did trigger[:)]

I believe that I have found one potential solution.

From the attached image, the original ViCond specified only ONE specific unit as eligible to fulfill the ViCond and you needed to destroy 10 such units. Obviously, this is an impossibility .

The solution I propose is to replace the ViCond from specifying a particular unit with a ViCond that looks for a Class of ships to destroy, in this case, the Armed Junk.

I have tested this ViCond 3 times and it has tripped correctly on every occasion. I do not believe that this particular ANW ViCond is a problem with the Game Engine. However, I cannot be certain since you did report that the ViCond evaluated properly on one of your test runs. The ViCond Never triggered correctly during any of my game sessions so there may be some truth to your claim that the ANW ViConds are 'twitchy', but I am unable to confirm your findings.

The scenario has been sent and I hope that it works for you.

OK, so we will note down that your official stance is not helping in promoting and improving other Harpoon's sites and initiatives - with cross-links, support and mutual respect - to all the community's benefit. Thank you for your contribution [:)]
