Undocumented Events

[piperone]

In the mission editor, events like Camera, Begin Scene, End Scene, Fire, etc. are not documented in the manual. I've figured out begin and end scene (pretty simple), what do the rest do and what parameters do they take.

And, why aren't these documented appropriately? Perhaps I missed something in the doc, but it wasn't in the mission event portion of the manual. Thanks,

actually a better explanation of all events and triggers might be helpful to all, damage, (the trigger) is based on hull percent damage. Others like damage, (the event) are based on hull weight.

Knowing what to set the parm to, or at least some option of what works would make the editor tool a more useful tool...

likewise there are a few new triggers...any light that can be shed on these would be greatly apprecaited as well.

thanks

in retrospect on this question, it might fall more in the 'support' cat, then here...just a thought.

Piperone,

I am currently working on trying to get the various commands figured out. I don't yet have TGS, so I can't speak to the new commands yet. My guess on the Fire command is that it works something like the Target command. If ship X targets ship Y whatever your event is should happen. I imagine the Fire command is similar.
Otherwise, if you have questions feel free to ask.

Camera is triggered when target X is shot with a cam pod. The vessel has to be within the fighter hud, not sure on range

[Dragonlead]

Different items. There is a camera pod for recon missions in-game. This is an event in the mission builder that only applies when you are building the cutscenes.
