Thank you for your replies gents. I understand now why I could not find a logic control method to activate a trigger. They are manually activated either via the keyboard or menu. That’s what I needed to know. I was thinking in terms of simple single player scenarios rather than real-time multiplayer scenarios online. Thanks again for your help. Thanks for the offer to chat on TS Mark. I appreciate it but I think I have what I needed this time. Many thanks for the help and offer. Regards, John

Hi All, We are knew to Steel Beast and trying to get up to speed on it so I hope the question doesn’t seem a bit tedious to you. I am having problems setting and clearing triggers. I just don’t seem to be able to do it. For instance, I have included a small scenario in which I want to be able to have two columns travelling down a road to be able to take different branches at a fork in the road when they encounter it. The scenario shows how I did this using control logic and it works ok although limited. I really wanted to able to use triggers to do the same job. I have created the triggers but don’t know how I can either set or clear them with events in the scenario. Can anyone tell me how I can do this, or show me using the scenario I have supplied? Does this “UnitA 1/3/A” and “UnitA 1/3B” mean that SB understands the units I have used in the scenario as a whole unit A? Could I used UnitA /1/3/A to create one trigger UNIT-A, and UnitA 1/3/B to create another trigger UNIT-B? I have used the units 1-3A individually to create UNIT-A and units 1-3B individually to create UNIT-B, but I am not sure if it’s the best way to create the triggers. Even so I don’t know how to SET or CLEAR them. I would appreciate your help. Regards, John TRIGGERS - 0001.zip

Hi Gibsonm, Thank you for your reply. We have already managed to get the snow on the ground with the theme editor, but we were hoping to add falling snow as well, do you mean we can't add falling snow or rain in scenario's yet? Regards, John

Hi All, My father and I have recently bought Steel Beast pro. We are trying to make a mission with the mission editor, and we wanted to include some rain and snow. We've looked at the "Weather Control" dialog in the editor, and nothing we do seems to make it rain or snow including changing the precipitation intensity. We also checked the theme on the map we are using to check that the "Is Snow" and "Is Water" options were enabled. Despite our best efforts, everything else works except the rain or snow. Can anyone help? Regards, John

Hi Rotareneg, Thanks for the help. Just tried it and thats exactly what is was, I selected a grey one. Just changed it and it works fine. I should have realized something when looking at the menus but didn't. Anyway, again many thanks for the help. Regards, John

Hi, I have just purchased SB and am trying to design a simple mission. One Red tank and one Blue Tank. Just to get a feel of things. The problem is while running the final scenario I can't get into any position of the tank. That is driver, gunner, or TC etc. I am stuck in the Observer Position. The Red Tank is owned by the computer, and the Blue tank by the player. All positions are selected, checked, on the Option menu in the Mission Editor. I tried all of the setting I can find, and that are obvious, but no change. The scenario runs fine, but without me! Can anyone help? Regards, John
