Theater developmental notes - Events definition (".TRI" files)
-
There are no trigger files for TE’s.
TE’s are scripted solely by the placement of units, ground and air.

Guys regarding SET_PAK_PRIORITY in the tri file:
After executing it should the change in priority be reflected in in the PAK screen? Because I’m not seeing changes there compared to before the event. The priorities there remain as originally defined in the cam file in the value field. Also, the [number] parameter this command accepts should go from 0 to 100 or something else? In the cam file value of less than 81 is not a primary objective. -

While examining saved campaign files with Mission Commander I noticed PAK priorities are actually displayed in the political tab. They are set to anywhere from 0 to 100 by the campaign engine, so I guess values lower than 81 are safe also for the trigger files.

just one critic, is possible change the green color of the letter? My eyes are a little red lol

just mark the letters with the mouse.

Only Cities\Towns can OWN PAK priorities\parenting >80 (actually 81 due to the fact that the code starts at 0 and then counts to 80, so 0+80 = 81 ) You CAN change this in the .aii file if for some reason you need some minor objectives to kick events for gameplay. Again it would have to be a city or town to work. You would need to reset Parent’s in TacEdit and then SAVE and EXIT for it to pick it up. Oooppss!! You need to be in link edit in TacEdit…;)
If you have a small theater like Panama,Battle for Sinai or Guam, that may come in handy to promote the War, if done correctly. But in larger theaters like Aegean,Balkans and Korea this is counterproductive IMHO.demer

Your welcome……:mrgreen:
@Lukas and “Joe Public” .
I know at times (probably most times) that my post’s seem a bit misleading at best and/or sarcastic at worse, when we don’t “Get It”.
The intent of my post’s are to inspire y’all to seek the solutions on your own.
FALCON, over the years, has become a “Hard Row to Hoe”, for me, so to say.
BUT the BMS Team has done some outstanding CODE work that promises to continue into the next decade.
Therefore, I am excited to to see what we CAN do with the Bi’attchdemer

well demer your posts are a extra valuable asset for us newbs on the area but some times finding your way to the solution is a pain in the ass not to mention misleading and ending to giving up.
We all know sources are the:
1. PCM wiki and Forum.
2. Frugals forum.
3. Global Falcon forum.
4. BMS forum.The 3d one is gone.
Frugals and PCM forum info is way scattered and u have to search and search and search losing more time to search then working on the project, also info is outdated in some cases.
PCM wiki is the one and only valid source but also there many things point to the forum in general and info is outdated.
BMS forum also info is scattered, well I try some to gather them in my HotList but I don’t think this is the solution.I believe u get the point.
An example: I was looking for the addcopy function u posted for way much time and I gave up. Then when u posted the document that got me on track and since then I was able to help in my squad theater development.

well demer your posts are a extra valuable asset for us…
+1
I read(or am trying to read) all your posts as well…no problem with sarcasm -
Perfection requires mastery of the tools, and there Demer is a good help as old expirienced guy. Sometimes he “misled” me unintentionally and i wasted alot of time figuring things out otherwise, but his heart to help is appreciated anyways.

And you, my friend, are Sir Robin???...LOL!!!
There are still many, many things in Falcon that I and the MASTERS just…. DUNNO??? But we can find out\explore.@A.S and others. I will not deny that I misled you and Mystic intentionally in the last year or so. In an effort to get you guys to seek a better understanding of the tools and the Database.
You both have done well in your endeavours. I must remind you both though, that a “Help!!..ME Demer!!!” PM\TS was most always responded to.I have stated this B4 and will state it again, but this time a bit more thorough “It has taken me 16 years to get a grip, somewhat, on Falcon and SHE still Pee"s on me at time’s”
:rofl:

Dont worry mate, we stopped listening long time ago as we figured, that those “games” CANT be of good nature and slowed down the progress too much. A honest “i dont know” is better than misinformation sometimes

It IS difficult as “rookie” to help someone who perceptible has the desire to potraits himself consistently as a 16 years of expirienced master regards falcon editing.

Sorry M8, you have just dug yourself a hole that you can not get out of.
Same hole as Hustler and Ram……4 years ago.
Your slight aside bothers me no more than it might bother the BMS boy’z.
You are ignoring the fact of the hours I spent with you and others in Team Viewer…to get you to the point of “I know it all now demer”
You don’t……PERIOD!!!
Nor do I…PERIOD!!!
FALCON has been and will be a constant development beyond your perceived “End Game” Korea.And “That’s the Way it Is”
Now let’s get back to helping those that “don’t know it all” !!!demer
(P.S. To Dunc and all, this is NOT a personal attack at A.S or anyone…Luv’ the man…just a point out, that is all)
-
I dont see any logic in purposly misleading someone, but hey… its now just a loss of trust remaining and there are other knowledged people willing to share infos in both directions without false data.
PS: lol@ that comparision, completly out of context unless they were served with intentional false data too
Peace old man. Luv u 2.
