FMB Quest - Setting Up Targets

[Racetrack]

Hi guys! I've some problems here..
I'm making some historical mission and I don't know clearly how to deploy Primary and Secondary Target.
It is possible to set a "Destroy Bridge" for the Reds (with timer) and at the same time set a "Defend Bridge" for the Blues?
What I want is to force the Reds to attack the bridge before the timer countdown will elapsed to win the game..
If instead they don't do that the Blues will win.
Another question, I want that the Blues will attack (in another mission) a convoy destroying at least 75% of the ships forming the convoy
before the countdown will elapsed to win the game.. If instead they don't do that the Reds will win.
Do I have to set one "Destroy Ground" in the zone where all the ships spawn ? With an ammount of 75% and a one Timer?
Or I have to set up one "Destroy" for every ship?

For the first one, simply set a TimeOut value on the Destroy Bridge objective for red. If they don't complete it within the allotted time, then blue wins. You don't need to set a Defend Bridge target for blue on the same bridge.

For the second, if the ships in the convoy are moving, you unfortunately have to have a Destroy target for every ship in the convoy, so you can't assign a % of the convoy to be destroyed - everything tagged with the Destroy target will have to be sunk. If they're stationary however, then a Destroy Ground will work.

Ok, in the first case Reds win if they destroy all the 3 bridges right?
If they Destroy only 2 bridges Blues wins right?
In the second case, what happen if the Target Area cover ALL the moviment of the concoy?
I mean that the convoy will rest in that space for all the time....
For the points... If I'm a Red and I destroy a bridge that is a Primary Target then I score points.. But what happens if blues wins for the points? Who score points?
The meaning of this questions is to create a mission where if the Red win score points, if the blue wins score point...

You need to understand how the point system works. The player does not get points if his/her team wins the mission. You only get points for the units you personally destroy.

As for your second mission, you can indeed use a Destroy Ground Target for moving ships. Look at the screenshot below. I have a small test mission set up in the FMB.

There are two Blue ships sailing east. The Primary Target (which applies for Red) is set to a Destruction level of 50%. There is also a TimeOut limit of 20 minutes. So, if Red sinks at least one of the ships within 20 minutes, they win the mission. If 20 minutes is reached before Red completes the Target, Blue wins.

*The important thing to remember for this particular type of scenario is that the ships must remain in the Target Circle during certain critical times. These are:

A. All the ships must be in the circle when and if the first ship is destroyed. They can actually start the mission outside of the circle, as long as they enter it within this critical time.
B. All the ships must be in the circle when/if the TimeOut setting expires (in this case, 20 minutes).

Again, there are no points awarded for winning a mission. You need to destroy units to be awarded any points.

That's bizarre, I never knew that. At least it explains the Destroy Ground acting funny if a vehicle convoy is moving through the area or stops within the circle.
