Timetable.dcg Question ~L vs. ~A

[JG7_X_Man]

I know ~A means Attack and ~L means Location but when would I use them?

[idefix44]

~A is for Advance to and ~L is for Landing.

When you add a new column through the timetable, just use ~L.  It's spawning ("landing" in the game).

Interesting - is there another way to add columns? Like directly into the .mis file?

[Lowengrin]

Of course you can add columns directly to the master mission file.  Adding them through the timetable allows you to shift the number and strength of one side part way through a campaign.

This is exciting! I want to add ships for players that like anti shipping missions so adding them directly to the mission.mis and sent to ship remain sunk to off. Then set it to on when Operation Jubilee and The Channel Dash. Can I do the same for trains? I am assuming DCG will use routes at random from my srd and rls files?

[Lowengrin]

Yes, but trains (unlike ships) respawn.

I see - Thanks!
