Map triggers..

I need help with triggers for my map(its for the open map competition,so i cant reveal anything about it. pain in the arse..)

1:I need a lighting setting for a dark,arctic night,a deep violet/black would be great

2:Meteor Storms that occur in random spots troughout the map,pelleting the ground with tib/burning meteors

3:i need aircraft to fly over occaisonly from diffrent paths. just Harpies,that come over constantly during the battle,and just fly over,lookin pretty,and asking to be shot down.

1. Experiment with the values in the Edit->Lighting menu. You know how colours work, i suppose?

2. This is easy, make a new waypoint and a new trigger with event= Random Delay and action=Meteor Shower at...

3. This is a lot harder. I won't help you here...i'm a judge afterall..

1: i know about as much about RGB Values as most of us know about fleas. nothing. lol

2:will they occur constantly? or just once,then never appear again?

3:whats the fun in that? and where do we post when we're finished/send it to?

map archive lol.

The harpie trick is easier, do a random delay and trigger neutral harpies Smile

(teams and taskforces, scripts, u need to know a little bit of A.I. editing) then tell them to attack random waypoints or buildings for instance.

You should play my snowy encouter map. When civilians have low power (capture/destroy the adv power plants), trucks appear with engineers and take over your base Smile

Its a little buggy with hijackers though, they just sit there >___>

Also for the metorite storms, and any random delay triggers make sure they "repeat"
