I am trying to finish my objectives (T2/Newdark) and have a strange situation. I play through the mission, each objective checks off the way expected (including some changed objectives along the way) and when I get to the final destination, the mission ends and I get the Mission Complete screen. When the objective screen comes up, the final objective is not checked off, even though the game ended properly. I have never seen that happen before.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

What type of objective is the final, something like "Return to where you started?"

Sometimes the welcomeroom script isn't good.
Try TrigRoomPlayer linked to a qvar trap
=1:goal_state_x

If it's a room you go to, make sure both goal_x_final and goal_x_irreversible are set to 1. The first makes sure it doesn't tick off until all other goals are complete, and the second doesn't let it untick once ticked.

Brethren - it was originally set up as a "go back to your starting point" objective but I could not get the welcome room to work. As an alternative, I set the final objective as a "no-type" and used a Qvar trap to trigger the final goal. I set up a concrete room to trigger the Qvar.
Unna - I did use =1:goal_state_11 on the Qvar.
Yandros - both the final objective and the goal-irreversible are each set to 1.
I have scratched a hole in my head trying to figure out what I did wrong. I have all the other objectives working except this one. These objectives always drive me crazy.

Final and Irreversible won't do anything if it's a no type goal and you're managing it manually.
Try putting a relay trap between the roombrush and the QVTrap with Once, NoOff set on the Trap Control Flags.

It should be perfectly possible to use WelcomeRoom and the usual setup. There's probably one small thing you've missed. In other words, post what you did when you were trying to get WR to work, and someone is bound to spot the problem.

Whaaat, that's not true is it?! I'm 90% sure I've used WelcomeRoom in T2 before.

R Soul:
I will take a look back at what I did. I made many changes to the objectives to get them all to work, so I am not sure what version to look at but will take a look. It is very confusing to me that the game ends properly but the final objective does not check off.
Yandros, tried what you suggested but when I added the link to/from the relay trap, I did not do it as a CD link (just was not paying attention when I was watching political shows last night. I will fix the link and try again but it may not be tonight as the political shows will be intense!
Yandros - also, I think I have used WelcomeRoom in T2 in the past but all my files are on old/different laptops. I will probably download one of my old missions and take a look as I always have the "go back to where you started" objective as the last one. I may be wrong as I only do objectives once every few years and it is hard to remember much over that period of time.
