Final Sun problem

CommanderM · Civilian **Joined**: 25 Feb 2010

I wasn't sure where to put this but I have a problem with Final Sun. After downloading the fix to make text triggers work, the action to turn a building on seems to no longer work. I had a working trigger that would turn a stealth generator on and off at certain intervals but it no longer works, even after completely redoing the trigger. The stealth generator can be disabled with a trigger, but I cannot get it to turn back on. Could somebody please help? Thanks!

never heard of this problem,
but you could simply make a test map with an old FinalSun version and another test map with the new version.
Then compare both maps and you should instantly see the difference, if there is one. Wink

(all this shouldn't take more than 10 min and be faster than waiting for someone who knows this problem)

Here is the test map that I have just made. I copied the trigger over exactly how it was in my campaign map. It works on the test map but I noticed something very strange with the original map I was making. It does turn buildings on and off, but the stealth generators will not cloak anything once they have been turned back on. Also, the turn buildings on and off triggers will affect all of the Nod buildings on my map, not just the ones they are attached to. For example, some obelisks of light that are disabled at the beginning will be turned on when the stealth generators are turned back on but the trigger isn't even attached to the obelisks. The computer controlled GDI buildings are not affected as far as I can tell. What I can't understand is that it works perfectly fine in a skirmish test map, but the exact same trigger works differently in a single player map.

Edit: If anybody wants to take a look at my campaign map, I can PM it to you.

I see your problem. Or what should be the problem.

If the example you provided is EXACTLY what you have on your actual map then the problem lies with this:

When attaching a tag to another trigger, for some reason, you have to delete the tag after attaching it to the trigger.

So if you go to Edit > Tag Editor and then find the On tag and delete it from the tag lists it should work.

Try it and if it doesn't work then post back and I will mess with it on my own some.

I tried deleting the tag for the On trigger but it does not seem to have any effect. Also, I noticed two more oddities with this trigger. No matter what amount of time I set for the Off trigger to activate, every single Nod building is turned off. When the Off trigger activates, the stealth generator starts to cloak for a very short time (about a quarter of a second) and then decloaks.
