Status: offline 		Hello!!

Is any way to change the status (from inactive to active) of a mission?
I got the following script:

local number=ScenEdit_GetKeyValue('destroyedScud')
number=number+1
ScenEdit_SetKeyValue('destroyedScud', number)

print(ScenEdit_GetKeyValue('destroyedScud'))

ScenEdit_SpecialMessage('United States', number..' Scud groups destroyed, '..9-number..' remains' )

if number==3 then
ScenEdit_SpecialMessage('United States', 'INIT MISSION 1' )

elseif number==5 then
ScenEdit_SpecialMessage('United States', 'INIT MISSION 2' )

elseif number==7 then
ScenEdit_SpecialMessage('United States', 'INIT MISSION 3' )

end

i need to active mission 1, 2 and 3 when the player destroy 3,5 and 7 scuds sites.

Thanks.

What you could do instead is create the missions and have them active with no units assigned, then use the 'ScenEdit_AssignUnitToMission' function to assign desired units to the mission. It should have the same end effect.

One way to make it work would be to have some hidden units somewhere in the middle of nowhere. When you want to activate a mission, have one of these units (I like to use city markers) move inside a set of waypoints. Then have a "unit remains inside area" trigger set for 1 second with an action of activating the mission.

Kinda klugy, but it should work.

By the way the example Lua code might work incorrectly. If you are dealing with numerical values (like counting number of SCUD destroyed) the proper way is: 
x = tonumber(ScenEdit_GetKeyValue("X"))
x = x+1
ScenEdit_SetKeyValue("X",X)


as the KeyValue is stored as string.
