Fred2 Question . Problem with Reinforcements

Hi. I've made a mission(Situation: Player trys to lurk an Enemy Capship in a trap) where the player can call a Capship as reinforcement. But if the Player call this Ship to early the mission should be over. But what do i have to do that the Enemy Ship which should be destroyed by the Reinforcement Capship don't jump in iff the Reinforcement Capship is called to early? And how can i end the Mission at that point?

Just set an arrival time for the reinforcement ship. When the time (or event as it may be) is up or the event is true then the reinforcement becomes available and the player can call it in.

Another method could be to create a regular reinforcement wing, and key the cap ship's arrival time with the wing. Now, you would end up calling in a cap ship and a fighter wing, so this may may not jive with how you need the mission to progress, but it is another method to call it.

Later!

Ok. Maybe i spelled wrong. Before i asked this question i managed to get the Capship as reinforcement that was no problem. The player should be able to call the Reinforcement Capship anytime he want's. To that point it's no Problem. But now the Problem if he call it to early the Capship which should be lurked into a trap should not arrive. And the mission should end. Any ideas? Thanks.

You should just build the mission to avoid that possibility all together. Needless complexity kills missions.
