Post Is self.Difficulty inherited?
Simple as that, really. If I use self.Difficulty in one mission, then change the mission in the script, is the difficulty setting inherited?

The alternative would be something like:
Code:
Mission2.Difficulty = self.Difficulty
ActivityMan:StartActivity("GAScripted" , Mission2);


But I was wondering if such a thing was necessary.

The difficulty is not inherited and if you type print(ActivityMan:GetActivity().Difficulty) in to the console, nil is returned. This makes me suspect that you cannot set the difficulty of an activity from outside of that activity.

How about storing the difficulty in a global variable like this?
Code:
function ActivityOne:StartActivity()
   gDiff = self.Difficulty
end

function ActivityTwo:StartActivity()
   if gDiff then
      self.Difficulty = gDiff
   end
end

That seems like the best way to do it.

Thanks Abdul.
