UGC Mission Design

[Cole_MacGrath]

If you have connected to UGC you will notice that we pushed out a new update. You can read all about it here.

Lots of new features like Mission Reviews and Mission linking, lots of bug fixes, and Titan and Devourer!

Here are some other fixes that the UGC community will want to know.

• Relative Health/Energy.  New choices on the "Health" and "Cole's Energy" object modifier pages give you the option to adjust these values as percentages rather than absolute numbers (e.g. add 5% hit points; set energy to 10% full).
• Volume/Monitor Reset Option.  New "Reset When" option on Volume and Monitor logic objects lets you change how/when they can be reset after being triggered.
• Selector Method.  The Selector logic object has a new "Selection Method" option.  Before, objects were selected from their group randomly, which meant the same thing could be selected multiple times.  Now we've added "Shuffle", which will select objects in random order but only once each until all have been chosen once, and "Sequence", which will select objects in the order they were created in the editor.
• Damage/Hostility for Trigger Group.  Now in the Damage Response and Hostility page of the Object Modifier, you can use the Trigger group.
• Per-Instance Placement Options.  We can disable tilting and placing off-ground on a per-object basis now.  (Before it was done by class; logic objects and NPCs had these disabled, all others were enabled.)
• Mission List Modification.  The UI used for My Missions, Templates and Search Results has been expanded slightly to make room for more controls text (in the lower left) and more metadata rows (in the upper right).  Also when you select a published mission in the My Missions list, a little upload icon appears in the upper right of the dialog (next to mission title) to indicate that the mission has been published.

Why all of my mission and the mission look with the "research" have "Played: 0 Favorites: 0"? When I click "Upload mission" makes me upload it again? (Sorry my english)

Awesome.

It does seem to have messed up the in-game showing of plays/favourites, but it's still great.

Nice to see the logic tools upgraded as well as new content.

What happens when I set one of my missions as a follow-up to another mission?

[RetroSteveUK]

When someone plays your mission and finishes it, playing your follow up mission is given as an option.

Yay! I was waiting for a update like this. Keep up the great work SP! =]

Just a heads-up to anyone who writes a review: apparently the word original is censored, just like the word after. I wrote a review for this mission, and it looks like I said something inappropriate. I may have wanted to, but I didn't.

[RetroSteveUK]

Did somebody rip off your mission?

[bnfdhfdhfd]

Yes, and not in the normal "make an exact copy of the mission and call it a remix" way. They moved  the start point, changed some music, and slightly reworded the dialog to make it look like someone else had written it.
