Questions: CampaignVars, empty messages, WIN_SCENARIO_CALLBA

[rf900]

Hi

I am bit stuck with my current campaign, need some help with this:

I am trying to use campaign vars but cannot find any example, declared then in CAMPAIGN.TXT (VAR maxcarrymis1;) and then using them SetCampaignVar(maxcarrymis1,10); gives an error saying it does not exist or something similar.

Also I try to display messages ingame but they appear empty, ShowUIScreenY( "BattleHead0", "Anim1", "IDS_SPBM1_END"); Those are texts that are defined and even appear in the scenario selection screen.

And the last, calling MenLeftInUnit inside FUNCTION WIN_SCENARIO_CALLBACK(winner) throws an error, maybe at that point units are already unloaded from the map?

Thanks

Forget the last one, wasn't including Tools.bsf in the scenario script.

You need to make the SetCampaignVar("maxcarrymis1", 10) - it is a string argument.

The popup UI stuff is a little fiddly. Basically there is an object in the UI battlehead0.txt file called BHEAD0TEXT. To show a string on it, you need to name the string

IDS_SPBM1_END_BHEAD0TEXT, "this is the string text",

This is how the system knows where to put text (e.g. if you had a popup with multiple text boxes).

MenLeftInUnit is probably defined in tools.bsf - are you including the file? You can find it by using Find in Files for FUNCTION MenLeftInUnit

np - there is such a lot of stuff you can do, it is pretty easy to find things I have failed to document...

I will try and add these things to the online docs if I can stay awake for long enough today

Cheers
