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...

yes, that is correct.

i've also learned that one can use a Trigger only once for an Event. If you said that above, then i missed it.

for example, if you enter a Trigger to Reach a Zone, you can use that for an Event Message but you cannot use that same Trigger to upgrade a Hidden Primary Objective, such as is used for "Sink" missions. the second use gets skipped and there is an anomaly in the Objective screen, if an Objective is involved.

I've been re-writing TMO 2.5 missions as i play through it, repairing the Mission(s) of triggers/events that are not working as the designer originally intended. I am also weighing the option of creating a mod of the updated missions for others who may want missions to work as they were intended to work. if any kaleun is interested in this, please post or send me a PM.

more to come....
