Topic: Linking Control Points
After spending a bit figuring out how to link CPs like in Endor and Mos Espa, I thought I might document the info. to save others some time.
It's simple enough.
Firsstrike gets its linking information from the names of the control points.
Link format:
<Control Point name>_pushmap_<CP number>__<CP link number>
<Control Point name> = name of the Control Point.
pushmap = keyword to let Firststrike know that the numbers that follow are to be used for linking.
<CP number> = number of this control point. This number is chosen by the mapper to identify this CP.
<CP link number> = the CP number that you want this CP to link to. You can link to as many CPs as you wish. Just separate each by a single underscore.
*Note that you must separate the <CP number> and <CP link number> with double underscores.
For example...
You have four control points. A, B, C, and D. You want A to link to B and C. You want B and C to link to D. You would name your CPs as follows:
A_pushmap_1__2_3
B_pushmap_2__4
C_pushmap_3__4
D_pushmap_4
Say you want CP D to link to B and C? Simple adjustment:
A_pushmap_1__2_3
B_pushmap_2__4
C_pushmap_3__4
D_pushmap_4__2_3
You now have linked CPs!
