.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

i'm doing this level at the mo, it's single player, going grand.
i have3 stuka plane set up so u can blow them up(workin grand), how would i set them as 1 objective so that every time 1 was blowin up it would take it off a counter, say like "destroy the planes, 3 remaining", "destroy the planes, 2 remaining" and so on. and how would i get the compass to point to the close'st 1?????????? anyone got any ideas?

also how do i set it so that i can only see a certain amount of the level cus at the mo, i done a big open area to try this out, wit a few things stuck in it, it wants to show me all.??????????

//code up here

waitthread global/objectives.scr::add_objectives 1 2 "Destroy the planes [3 remaining]." $firstplane.origin
thread bombfirst
end

bombfirst:
//bombing code
iprintlnbold_noloc "First Plane Destroyed."
wait 1
waitthread global/objectives.scr::add_objectives 1 2 "Destroy the planes [2 remaining]." $secondplane.origin
thread bombsecond
end

bombsecond:
//bombing code
iprintlnbold_noloc "Second Plane Destroyed."
wait 1
waitthread global/objectives.scr::add_objectives 1 2 "Destroy the planes [1 remaining]." $thirdplane.origin
thread bombthird
end

bombthird:
//bombing code
iprintlnbold_noloc "Third Plane Destroyed."
wait 1
waitthread global/objectives.scr::add_objectives 1 3 "Destroy the planes [0 remaining]." $thirdplane.origin //place a check over obj
end

will only work if they're blown up in that order though, best to add a counter

level.wisp_counter = 3

then instead of using
waitthread global/objectives.scr::add_objectives 1 2 "Destroy the planes [2 remaining]."

use

level.wisp_counter = level.wisp_counter - 1
waitthread global/objectives.scr::add_objectives 1 2 "Destroy the planes [" level.wisp_counter " remaining]."

that'll do the trick

or you could do this...

whenever a plane was destroyed, it would take away one, until it goes to 0...

//code blah blah

//somewhere before the threads are started, type this line...

level.planesleft = 3
waitthread global/objectives.scr::add_objectives 1 2 "Kill stukas. [3 remaining]"

//blah blah

$stuka1 thread obj_stuka_death
$stuka2 thread obj_stuka_death
$stuka3 thread obj_stuka_death
thread stuka_obj
end

obj_stuka_death:

self waittill death //the one that called the thread will wait till it dies...
iprintlnbold_noloc "Stuka Destroyed...HAHAHA"
level.planesleft--
end

stuka_obj:

if (level.planesleft == 2)
{
waitthread global/objectives.scr::add_objectives 1 2 "Kill stukas. [2 remaining]"
}

if (level.planesleft == 1)
{
waitthread global/objectives.scr::add_objectives 1 2 "Kill stukas. [1 remaining! Dont screw it up!!!!!]"
}

if (level.planesleft == 0)
{
waitthread global/objectives.scr::add_objectives 1 3 "Kill stukas. - Completed"
}
end

cheers for that men, twas buggin me that thing

yup, simple, but not realistic.

but simplistic is better than realistic only if realism isn't an issue wahoo new post buttons, when the hell did they get here?
