Victory Pt Plugin "Objective Failed"

[mikeboz]

I have been trying to tweak the VP plugin settings in the scenario editor without success. No matter what I set as conditions, as soon as the scenario opens, I get an "Objective Failed" message.

Of course, a scenario editor manual/guide would be helpful, but I haven't been able to locate one. Any help is greatly appreciated.

The VP plugin logic can be a little fiddly for sure. You might try disabling the side 1 victory allowance (the +) and set them to effectively only be able to prevent the player from winning, and then go from there.

There is more information on the wikis, but the older one seems to be down right now:

Thanks for the quick response. I gather I'll simply have to tweak the settings until it functions correctly.

One more question, if I may: Is the "Side 0" nation always the active player in a single player scenario?

[pipfromslitherine]

Yes - side 0 is always the player, in SP.

Note that you can look at the actual script for the plugin in TOOLS/Slith_VictoryPoints/UI/Slith_VictoryPoints.bsf inside the install folder - if that's your idea of fun The guts of the logic are in the Tick function, from line 533. Don't be to intimidated, most of the contents are just for the UI.

I had this same thing happen to me when I was testing the reinforcements scripting. If there are no enemy units the scenario is hard coded to end in a victory
