Foundry Tips for a newbie?

edited September 2014 in The Foundry for Star Trek Online - Discussion & Feedback
I'm still relatively new to the game, and have started dabbling around in the foundry. I have been going through multiple tutorial videos but most seem to be a bit dated. The biggest challenge I have come across so far is getting the dialogue to pop up and trigger at the right time.

I was curious if any of you foundry guru's might have any advice for a noob such as myself?

    Let us start with some more information. Is this dialogue part of the main chain, or is it optional dialogue?

    It's part of the main chain really. It should come up after enemies are killed saying go land on the planet. It will come up, but there is no button to continue to the next dialogue telling you to land on the planet. As far as I can tell I do have the markers in the right spot, and placed correctly in the story mapping.

    It sounds like you are wanting to transition to the next map. Have you already created your next map?

    I do, and its dropped in with the travel police transitions in place. I can get the travel dialogue to pull up, but I have to close the story window before that comes up. It seems like there's something in the last bit of dialogue that keeps the button from showing. But nothing I have tried will get that to show up. Or if it does show up, the next objective won't come up.

    I don't know if its something I'm doing wrong or if the foundry is bugged.

    Is it possible for you to take an in-game screenshot of the story progression chain at that point?

    Apparently the dialogue is working now, mostly. Accept now there is an issue where once you reach the next objective, where it is supposed to take you to the surface of a planet, the map transfer doesn't show up. The funny thing is, it was working yesterday, and I haven't changed anything.

    Change the leave from setting to "whole map"

    Same. Is there anything I should avoid doing to make the foundry easier to manage while creating?

    Prevents you from going insane on ground maps while placing objects.
