Victory Points in Custom Scenarios?

Hi

First of all, would just like to say am having lots of fun playing Battlefield Academy (as is my 7-year-old son!). Lots of credit and respect to the designers and developers for a great game. :)

Have also started to play around with the Scenario Editor, and that leads on to my question - is it possible to add Victory Points (and number of turns) to a custom scenario? I can't seem to find it anywhere - am I just being blind? Or is the idea behind custom scenarios simply that you play until all enemy units are destroyed (or your opponent surrenders)?

Regards
Carl (and son Kai)

The more complex mission behaviours are scripted. You can check out the scripts for existing missions to get a feel for the kind of things that can be done.

If there is demand for it, maybe we can put together a little template script for victory point usage - we use something similar internally.

I'd check out the modding portal initially - and have a glance through the existing scripts. Maybe create a custom version of one of the campaigns and tinker (remember never to alter the main install!)

And question, just ask! :)

Cheers
