Formation objectives not fully set

Post by HashHash »

I'm new to scenario editor and have some issues editing formation objectives.I went through every formation under force 1 and set objectives respectively ,but the critical warning still exists,indicating not all formations are set.Then i checked one by one carefully and redesigned objectives yet still don't work.Force 2 on the other hand,goes well.Two forces consist of similar units,both some infantry and artillery pieces.Any suggestions on the cause?

Unless your file is damaged (which can happen if you mucked with the XML editor) you just haven't found the ones that lack objectives yet. Try doing a scenario dump and check the formations for objectives that way.

I checked the dumped file and found some formations have invalid objectives. Still I have no idea about the reason since these objectives look alike,with a sequence of nodes each pointing to the next one.
