Campaign map questions

ok i made the topics "mos eisley boat thing question" and "some questions" and i decided to kinda put them together.

ok im making a map and its in the desert and what im trying to do is make it so at the beginning text is shown that tells you to board the boat. Then i want to make it so when you get on the boat it starts moving to a destination useing and animation. so i need to know how to get it to start by entering a region. I wanted to know how to set the game so you have no reinforcements so then no one could die on the boat and start at the beginning. I wanted turrets on the boat because when you go through the desert i wanted tuskens to come out and attack the boat and you had to defend it. I want to have a timer so you know how long till you reach the destination. when you reached the destination it would be the other teams camp. i want to know how to make your team win because i want it so when you kill all the enemies in the camp you win.

so i want to know if this would be possible and how i could do it if it is.

EDIT: for now im just going to make it conquest but when i get better at modding ill come back and try to make a campaign for it

Sounds like you're trying to make an mission-based map (aka, a campaign map).

This is a talent that only a very few of us (like the most elite) know how to do. Its not something you're anywhere near doing.

But if you insist, here's a starter: read the docs titled "Battlefront2_scripting_system" and "Battlefront II Mission LUA Guide".

I would recommend making at least one map without a campaign mode before you try what you've suggested here. It can certainly be done, but it would take a lot of work and you would need a little more familiarity with the system than it sounds like you have. Follow the Getting Started Guide and the Jedi Creation Docs--get familiar with zeroeditor and odf editing. After you feel like you understand that stuff pretty well, then I would try to tackle mission scripting. :)

yeah im pretty much trying to make campaign mission...

Im reading the scripting docs so im figuring out some things but how do i set it so the AI wont try to capture cps but to just fight the enemies.
and i think i figured out how to get an animation working from stepping in a region.

I have made a few maps that I deleted, since they were only to figure out how to do stuff.

EDIT:
I decided to use 3 skiff vehicles instead of the barge but when i put them on i could move them around but when i tried to move to a turret position the map crashed.

EDIT 2: i downloaded the bf1 assets and it had the stuff i needed and hopefully i can get the skiff vehicles to work
