Dot Command Events in Staged Missions
« on: November 12, 2018, 12:32:13 PM »

I was thinking a little more about the weather issue I mentioned in

https://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,395096.0.html

and I realized what might be a better solution is to be able to add time specified Dot Command "Events" to the Staged Mission definition.

That would open up a limitless number of possibilities for control. 

* I could load up a desired weather file at the start of mission.
*  I could set the time of day.
* could change the weather mid mission.  Suppose the weather changed during the time covered by a warp waypoint. 
* I could initialize thing to be damaged already at the start of a mission.
* I could clear damage at the beginning of a mission.  Supposed I am playing a sequential series of missions  and a previous mission was an air raid of my base.  The current mission may have meant to be days later, but when I spawn, things are still smoking and on fire from the previous mission I had played.  I may want to clear damage at the start of the next mission.

The possibilities are almost endless.

I tried to do this with the "Text Event", but it was just text, it didn't execute the Dot Command I had entered.

Thanks in advance.

In a private room I could see this. Not in the MA.
