Directive-value SEXP Tutorial

Note: This tutorial was written for the directive-is-variable sexp. Both sexps pretty much do the same thing,

but directive-value lets you directly plug in any number that can be returned. This tutorial still applies and

the writer would like to not have to retake so many pictures!

The Problem

Have you ever had one of those days?

One of those days where you want to disable some beam cannons on a ship, and you want a number by the

directive to show the player how many are left?

Yeah, we've all had bad days. Maybe not as bad as this guys. But still bad.

Well never fear, new additions to the SCP will allow you to turn this can-don't, into can-probably-do!

The OLD and BUSTED way

If you wanted to keep track of how many beam cannons are left, you'd probably go about by using the is-

destroyed-delay sexp and a bunch of dummy objects.

This is from mission 2 from Vassago's Dirge. Basically I set up these containers what would self destruct if

you destroyed the right turret (or the ship). Then the actual directive is depending if you destroyed the

containers, which you kind of do indirectly.

This can be a little complicated and convoluted at times, but do not fear. There is a better way!

The NEW and HOTNESS way

Oh noes! The Arcadia installation... Smarcadia has fallen under attack by the Ravana-class destroyer the...

Smassago... And only Alpha 1 is on scene with 5 trebs! What will you do?!

Kill the beam turrets of course. Has Blue Planet taught you NOTHING?! First lets set it up.

Pretty simple initial event setup. Okay, let's make a directive for killing the beam turrets.
