How to set up Front Markers: Summary of the Vid
It's short and sweet. In the FMB:
- Select View | Object | Front Marker (scroll down).
- Cntrl-Click creates a front-marker flag. Front Marker Red is probably selected. Place a few red markers for the allied front line. Just the markers will show for now.
- Select Front Marker Blue for the Axis markers and Cntrl-Click. The front line shows. Yeah.
- Place more markers as necessary, both Blue and Red. You can move them around to change the shape of the front lines. Just Click 'n Drag.
And that's it.
Why place front markers?
There are some good reasons to place them in every mission you make:
- They provide a visual representation of the front lines in the FMB, making object placement easier.
- If you bail out over enemy territory there's a pretty good chance you'll end up behind barbed wire. If you're really lucky, you'll make it back. The Sturmi game engine will determine your fate. Feel'n lucky?
- Even if you get back, you'll lose most of the points you accrued in the mission.
Remember that you can create more than one front line, for example a pocket of resistance behind enemy lines.
Another skill under your belt. Tres bien!
