Description

Description:

Sets debriefing title and text (plus subtitle, picture and background with alt syntax) for a mission ending. The end type could be engine-defined (see endType parameter), config-defined (see CfgDebriefing) or, with an alternative syntax of this command, any String. Given texts will be used to replace the corresponding texts on the debriefing screen.

Problems:

While optional for the game, subtitle must be set for this command to have any effect ("" will do) - available since

2.06.

Groups:

Briefing
