Story Missions...

[clueless]

Is there any procedure to get a story mission to generate?
i know that the actual story mission which comes up is random each play- through but i have completed play-through's with no story missions generated... and some that have

for example...should i complete every possible activity on the map each day before skipping to the next day?would that generate a story to pop up on the next day?
OR
should i just skip days one after the other completing no activities until a story mission pops up?
Or..
some other method?

i am at the point where the only achievos i have left are mainly the 5 story missions and i have no idea how to get them to show up

I always try to do each mission that pops up a day (occasionaly leaving out a convoy or a truck mission because the heat climbed to high for me to be comfortable to do a loud mission) and I also get insane variations in how many missions I m offered (anywhere between 1 and 4 a run)
So i dont think the amount of white missions you do really effect if you get a big heist or not

however the yellow missions effect it, and some yellow missions dont explicitly sound like a big heist is coming up and for a lot of yellow missions you have to click on "Goals" and accept them there first

for instance if gloves or nasara ask you to raid 3 money trucks, this actually turns into a set up for a big heist
or when nasara tells you about some trade you can intercept, this is also ends up as a set up for a big heist

Do you mean character story missions like that of Ranger or Chase? If so yes its random if your campaign will get them, but once you get something its guaranteed to go through. They do have a cooldown like for example between Ranger 1st mission and 2nd mission there is a 2 day cooldown (I think its 2 day for most characters) so wait a bit as well as don't end campaign early if you want to finish them.

Yes Character Story Missions ...not Big Heist Missions
so there is really no way for me to expedite the appearance of Character Story missions by playing a certain way
you mention a 2 day cooling period between missions once a Character story mission appears
would just skipping ahead 2 days bring on the next mission within that story?

Yeah if you just wait 2 days the next one in the series will appear. Some I think appear next day but for most its a 2 day cooldown.
