This is a repost of a tutorial I wrote for aa-maps.net

This a example how a map can be setup to have random Objective, one of the three objectives will be active.
This is my first time doing something in Kismet, so feel free to criticize if I've done something wrong.
I'm not even sure that this is the best way to do it, just that it works when I did it and tested in SINGLEPLAYER.

Use the Mission Editor(Limited)
Create a new Map, use the template ”Activate”

Start the Objective Editor and Remove the ”Win” event, then drag new events from each of the Objective to ”B”, this will make any of objectives able to win the match.

This is the final look of the objective view

Now open up the same Map in the full editor


Start Kistmet
View/UlrealKismet

Add a new Event(Right click in the grey workspace)
New Event/Game/Match Start

Add a new Action
New Action/Switch/Random

Select the new action and change link count to 3(We have 3 objectives)
Connect the Match Start Event with Random/In

Add 6 New Actions
New Action/Object Property/Modify Propery
And link them like this

This a table of the content of the 6 Actions, fill in the info into the properties of all 6 Actions

This is the first Modify Property

(In the above example I've set Output Obj Comment To Screen to True, for a real map you should make sure that it's set to False)

Rebuild and testplay.
The 3 Objectives in still there, but only one is active.

I reread the tutorial and it might not work, but below is the views I ended up with when I added Random objective to AA2 Border

Here is the Kismet:


Each random Link enables 1 objective and disables the other 4.

Here is the Objective View, don't get scared, it looks messy, but it's just 5 paths of the same path as 1 normal Extract looks like:

Hey guys I know this is an old thread but I used the tutorial today. Thanks for this!

So one issue I found with this method is that all the flags are visible on the map, so in the properties I set all flags to hidden, then added a toggle hidden, for each link unhide to unhide that flag. Now only the active flag is visible in game.

A simpler way ..
There's an option in properties of each obj"AdvancedObjective" uncheck ENABLE
