Mission Design!! Help!!!

[Drake113]

Ok, I'm trying to make some new missions for my mod. The first one, you have to collect 7 fighters to proceed. So, I'm using Status Component On Player Ship as the trigger, and I've set up the fighter in the Main_Components.txt file have an Event ID of 1. My event in the Main_Events.txt file looks like this:

Event Name := Event Commander Aries 1 Finish
Event Group ID := 0
Event Enabled := False
Event Permanent := False
Event Triggered Only On Map :=
Trigger Conditionals := AND
Number of Triggers := 1
Trigger 1 Type := Status Component On Player Ship
Trigger 1 Param 1 := 1
Trigger 1 Param 2 := 7
Number of Results := 2
Result 1 Type := Mission Completed
Result 1 Param 1 := Mission Commander Aries 1
Result 2 Type := Event Enable
Result 2 Param 1 := Event Commander Aries 2 Start
Result 2 Param 2 := TRUE

Yet every time I get the 7 fighters, the game crashes with a Stack Overflow Error. It only happens if the mission is enabled, and if I set it to a different trigger (Player Changes Credits, for example) everything works fine. Anyone have any ideas what's going on here?

Try using an actual component, instead of cargo, and see what happens.

Nope, that didn't work. Good theory, though. Anyone else have any ideas?

Ok, I think I figured out a workaround. If I add a second condition ("Player Changes Credits"), it works. Weird.

Argghh! Now I've got a new problem. Ok, you pick up your fighters, and the next mission you have to go deliver some diplomats. I basically swiped the code for this from Job Abbidon Operations 2 from Main_Jobs.txt, Campaign 2. The pick up and drop off works fine, but for some reason, it also drops off the fighters.
Apparently, when I set an event ID for a component in Main_Components.txt, delivery missions automatically deliver that component ALONG with whatever else you're supposed to deliver.
Any ideas? Anyone?

I'd send that one as a bug to MM..unless you've set the event ID in the delivery mission?
