Our troops have stolen a control ship from the Dummies, it needs to be sent back to headquarters ASAP !
To create a surprise effect, our generals decided it must be launched into orbit on board an old Mk2 Rocket. We have it docked at the bottom of a decomissioned nuclear weapon sites.
* Make sure you get rid of the roof at the top of the silo
* The control chip MUST leave this planet INSIDE our Mk2 Rocket !

Good luck soldier, the Dummy forces will be here very soon.

****UPDATED ****

Weegee made this mission compatible for B24
the weapon choices correspond to factions
Better waypoints for Dummies to come through the right side tunnels
More space on the top deck

It's an alright mission. Pretty easy.

Except for the tunnel to fly the rocket out of. It's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too thin. The atoms in the legs keep getting stuck into the side which get you stuck.

Launching the rocket was painful. It always gets stuck. I was okay hard, I tried 5 times to win.

But, it isn't all that fun. It's just, plain.

I think that's the challenge of this mission....after a few tries I easily got the hang of it ( my computer is very slow though, I can only imagine how this runs when fast)
But if stuff starts falling down the silo, blocking the way, it gets impossible.

I suggest increasing the silo's width by at least 2 blocks (A block is about the thickness of a wall), and increasing the defenses around the silo's exit. Other than that, it is a good mission. Simple, but good.

Oi, got a dumb question for you, but how do I get the rocket to move?
It's thrusting away, and going nowhere.

Otherwise, it's pretty easy to keep the enemies away from the silo, though I got bored and bombed them into dust, taking out my immobile rocket in the process.
This resulted in a crash.

- You must release it from the dock. When the rocket is the selected player, right click, then choose the top option ( where "reload" usually is).
-strange...I thought I got rid of the CCcrash-when-rocket-explodes bug.

Nice to see some more campaign missions.

About the crashes: If you access a pointer that points to a dead actor the game might crash. Avoid this by testing if the object/actor is valid first with "MovableMan:ValidMO(Pointer)" or "MovableMan:IsActor(Pointer)".

thank you Abdul.
Yes, I tried to avoid any references to dead pointers, this one must've escaped me.
It's odd, but "MovableMan:IsActor()" didn't work out to find if the rocket was dead or not...instead, I tested the actor's "AIMode" property - I noted it went totally out of range when the rocket exploded.

I'll update the mission when I have time ( maybe next week) with
- fix the application crashes
- give waypoints for the dummies to get in through the right tunnel

I'll try it on a faster computer, to see if it's really that difficult to get out of the silo... I think it's part of the stress of this mission : clearing the top, then not blowing the rocket on the way up.

Ok, now I understand what the AIMode > 20 test was for. I suspect AIMode goes out of range because the object is deleted, so it is probably not completely safe. I actually tested replacing "theRocket.AIMode>20" with "not MovableMan:IsActor(theRocket)" since IsActor did not work for you, and it seemed to work fine for me. But maybe this wasn't a pointer error at all, because I never experienced any crashes with your code anyway.

omg so many dummies...CAN"T WIN!!!

This is a nice simple scene. Its kind of hard too which is good.

too easy, I didn't even need to break the top to get out

Why hath Weegee cut us off from crazy good missions...

He went to Vegas and gambled away his scenes?

THAT or he just decided to just give it up with scenes making and start a new career as the new real-life Rambo in some terrorist/milita-infested jungle
