this game never ceases to amaze me on its lack of cohesion. i mean look at all of the different ways that dates are handled. drives me nuts. n-v-t-s, nuts.
Well, I tell you, one of the easiest traps to fall into, is using a MapZone for multiple tasks... Do NOT use a MapZone for an Objective zone, and then turn around and think "I need me a message as the player enters the zone to remind them that tankers are the priority. Let's see, what will I use? Ahh, I'm lazy, I'll just use the Obj01 MapZone. That'll work!" In a way, it will work - for the message - but not for the Objective now, and that might give you that same Objective Null, but seems to me, that is usually the "Objective not found" error...

If you do want to use a MapZone for multiple tasks, use it as a Trip for Reach Zone, and use that Trip instead, multiple times. Howeveer, you still cannot use that for an Objective MapZone. Those are like an F6F, and fly solo...
