Thanks for all the replies.
Will be very useful.

Ok sounds good thanks.

How about equating the units to real numbers? Or do you just use a single unit - say an infantry unit - as a single unit no matter how many people were in it.

Ok thanks. By the way - when you are creating a scenario, what methods do you use to work out unit numbers? I am assuming the units within the game correlate to a certain number in the 'real' world. For my test scenario, which was based on 'Pegasus Bridge', I used three units for each glider site, n...

That can't be right though, as the units say '41', and my date is 1944!

Ok tried following this, but it still wont work for the commando unit. Even if I specify the unit buy clicking on it, it still wont change the flag. You are right - any other units does. So to get round this - I would have to use a combination of units, a small team of commando units to represent th...

Ok cheers. Yes it helps, but I will really need to get my head round it.

Thanks again.

Keith

Thanks. Very interesting but a challenge too! It seems that with the Commando units, several things don not work - there is supply they don't extend the are of control, but also they do not take control of primary or secondary points. Not sure why, but if I replace them with an infantry unit, they d...

Ok that was it. All the testing has been from the editor, I have just tried it from the main menu & the pictures appeared.

Thank you.

Keith

Got it, thank you!
Appreciate the advice & help.
Now all I need to do is try and make the units a bit more accurate.

Keith

Ok, thanks. I can get the pop up to appear now and have the title & text, but the picture is not shown. I have tried copying a picture from another scenario, and keeping the same file name, putting it in my folder for my scenario. But it still does not appear. Can't think what else to try now. K...

Hello - its me again! My little game is coming on nicely, but I am having a problem understanding how the pop ups work. At turn 4, I have a trigger set that provides German reinforcements, I would like a pop up to appear telling the player that this has happened. I can't seem to find out how to do i...

Ok thanks. The units are British Commando 41. What is happening is they are not taking control of the hex, so in effect they are not in 'friendly' areas, hence the option for repair, etc does not appear. If you replace them with any other British unit, the red outline appears and you can use the opt...

Ok thanks. I will edit the game again. I did have three hexes with supply, which were linked to where the troops have landed, so I still don't quite know why they don't get it. The troops are commando units, not sure if that makes a difference. I used them as it was more realistic for a raid behind ...

Ok. I had used the airfield icon, rather than hanger unit. By increasing the supply to 20, it allows planes to land and take off. So thanks. So my only other issue is the supply for units within enemy lines. The idea is for a commando raid to take a bridge, everything is fine, deployment, followed b...

Ok thanks. I have got my head around deployment now and can get the units to appear, also the exit hex works. And using a map as a template. Finally I have cracked the triggers & missions. Now I have another issue, how do make an airfield that you can land on? I have placed the icon and have dep...

Ok will try that.
Thanks.
Keith

Ok thanks.
That helped - I have managed to get the map to appear!
Cheers.

Hi Could I ask for a bit of help on the map issue please. Can someone explain how you get the template map to appear? I have followed the instructions and have a map saved as template.jpg, when I place it in the folder for the game, and load the game in editor, the map is not there. Any ideas? Keith

Ok - I have got the deployment side sorted now - thank you. Now the exit hex, I would like the AI units to retreat off map, so that is why I have posted the exit hex, but I cannot work out how you make them do that. I have tried a trigger, but that just made them all disappear. What I am after is fo...
