Hey my objectives arnt working correctly, tho as far as I know my code is correct.

For my gsc I have this

objective_1()
{
objective_add( 1, "current", &"NIGHTRAID_OBJ_1", (-30, -5519, -511.7) );


	thread obj1_done();
}

for my string file i have this

VERSION             "1"
CONFIG              "C:\cod5\cod\cod5\bin\StringEd.cfg"
FILENOTES           ""

REFERENCE           OBJ_1
LANG_ENGLISH        "Fight through the village using the swamp path"

yet ingame I get this



I have checked dev gsc and also babycops meadow source code and none of precached the strings. Babycops map compiles fine for me and objectives work correctly ingame.

and yes I have tried pracaching them anyway. Oh and the position on the compass works fine and to make sure I didnt screw up my str file I copied and pasted my str file into babycops and then compiled meadow and it worked fine. Its gotta be something im missing in my gsc.

Any insight on correcting this would be amazing

You dont have an ENDMARKER at the foot of your str file. The game will not read strings correctly without it:

VERSION             "1"
CONFIG              "C:\cod5\cod\cod5\bin\StringEd.cfg"
FILENOTES           ""

REFERENCE           OBJ_1
LANG_ENGLISH        "Fight through the village using the swamp path"

ENDMARKER

Ok, tell me, step by step, how you added it to your zone file. File setup, and syntax you used to add the str file.

The code is right - it seems it's down to how you added the localized string to your zone file. If you get it wrong, the game wont read it.

my zone file? mean csv in zone_source??

I have looked at dev csv files and they had nothing to do with string files in it.

For my string file I just opened up a dev str file, saved it has nightraid.str and changed what I wanted.

No, you must localize it in your zone csv file:



All string files must be added to your zone csv in that manner, otherwise they dont register with the game.

EG: Taken from COD4/zone_source/coup.csv:
