Set the scene

The scene panel puts your title, briefing and objectives on the left of everyone's ESC menu.

You need director mode.

In the menus: ESC → Direct → Scene

Fill in the form

1. Enter Name, Location and Planet, up to 32 characters each.
2. Write the BRIEFING in one field, up to 256 characters. Press Enter for a new paragraph.
3. Fill in up to 5 OBJECTIVES, up to 64 characters each.
4. Select APPLY to save the form.

Changing an objective's text returns it to pending. Unchanged objectives keep their state.

Mark an objective off

CYCLE, beside each objective, steps it through pending, complete and failed, then back to pending. It sends immediately and does not wait for APPLY.
