Time Limit in new mission

[KurtTank]

I made my first mission in the ME last night and had a lot of fun with it......however, when does the mission end? Is there a way to make a time limit on it?

The mission is a free-for-all with no scripts, goals or anything, just shooting.......after I've killed all the enemy, the game never ends......so I never see the stats. Does it have to have scripts to end?

Yes.

Or you could force a conclusion by aborting the mission, but that's just not the same,

Quick check of conditions victory/defeat for the mission in style "kill'em all".
Add into your mission *_scripts.engscr file -> section triggers() next strings:

for German mission side

Code:

triggers()
{
	fail, 0x10, 1, 2.000, 3.000;
	fail, 0x8;
	fail, 0xb, fail_ger, 5.000, 0;

	victory, 0x10, 2, 4.000, 3.000;
	victory, 0xa;
	victory, 0xb, fail_rus, 5.000, 0;
}

for Russian mission side

Code:

triggers()
{
	fail, 0x20010, 2, 2.000, 3.000;
	fail, 0x8;
	fail, 0xb, fail_rus, 5.000, 0;

	victory, 0x20010, 1, 4.000, 3.000;
	victory, 0xa;
	victory, 0xb, victory_rus, 5.000, 0;
}
