How do you put Briefing in Map Screen

[Tempest]

I know how to make a mission, images, triggers, placement of entities etc etc. Looked at the Youtube videos. I also know how to sync the tasks. But the BRIEFING in the MAP screen is blank since I haven't seen how to do it. Many Youtubes seem either to skip over that or have some elaborate briefing with images. Just want to know what item do I have to put down and I suppose I have to synch like like tasks and mission accomplishment trigger to get a simple BRIEFING to show the details.
TIA.

You can do this a couple of ways:

You can use the createDiaryRecord command found here[community.bistudio.com]. Your best bet is to place that in the mission's init.sqf file. I don't know the specifics about making that multiplayer compatible (it might work as is for multiplayer, I don't know for sure as I only make single player stuff personally).

Or you can use the modules. Under the Intel section I believe, I'm pretty sure it's even called Create Diary Record. You'll have a few options to set up who the briefing is displayed to, either by grouped units or by entire sides. Hover the mouse over each field to read what it does and how to change it.

If consistent order is important to you, I highly recommend using the createDiaryRecord command in the first option because the init.sqf file reads from the top down, so you can get consistent ordering to each section of the briefing. The modules generally stay in order if you place them down in the reverse order you want them to appear top to bottom, however it doesn't stay that way every single time, especially if you have images in the briefing I've noticed.

If you're more of a visual learner, I highly recommend Feuerex's videos. He has this video that talks about creating briefings, and although it's an older video using the 2D editor, as far as I can tell everything he talks about still applies with the 3D editor.

Worked like a charm :^). I used the Dairy Record. Just typed some gibberish in there to see if it showed. Thanks!

Funny you should mention Feuerex's videos I watched just after my initial posting. I will investigate more tomorrow. Thanks again apprciate the help and your effort in the lengthy post.

Is there any way to update the content of the briefing during the mission, via a trigger? That is, change the content of the text.
