Ok,

I am slowly coming along with my first mission, and now, I am stuck with the level text editor... actually... Looking at the samples, I am pretty confused.... Is there a FAQ or any documentation that can explain the tags a little more in-depth?

I think that all the tags are created there by the editor when you create things like triggers and actions. It looks like a convenient place to go into to modify story text you might have attached to an ecom, or change your objective text, but I don't know how effective it will be to actually write code there....

THanks crackerz....

I guess I should have thought about setting the triggers first, and then writing the story... he he he

crakerz is right, it's just a bulk want of exporting mission text to a more convenient editting place. Don't use Word though, Word puts funky characters in your text that'll cause problems. Notepad is best.

This is an excellent idea - put the text in through triggers, but if I want to edit the storyline, it's all in one place. Definitely looking forward to that - thanks!
