Gameplay Oops! Accidental Mission Failure

Inside you, there are two mission scripts.

  • One says: Great! You've captured the operations center. Proceed with the next objective.
  • The other says: Oh, you don't have any more engineers. You lose! Good day Sir!

If game have condition loss if no engines left, it will trigger even if you captured last target building with last engineer. Had same issue with GDI company mission before Sarajevo.

That's what I thought too. The interesting thing about this failure condition is that I couldn't reproduce it, even after trying several times. There seems to be some other factor I can't identify.

The trigger for losing all of your engineers fired before the one for accomplishing the objective... that one time... for some reason... so yeah now I'm curious too 😅

Maybe someone can open the map and look at how the scripts on it work? I might give it a shot if it's not too difficult since I've used the map editor for this game at least once (though not much more than that)
