I have 1 tip...
If you use generic scripts in a mission then always be sure that it is a pulse so use a flag for instance...
The following scripts are subroutines which are active and dont deactivate on succes.
And the reset of the flag when the area is save again...
The reason for this is that when a subroutine is running and it remains true a team starts running and stands on the same place while running, you can see this very good with infantry, had that a lot when i just started scripting.
You only use this method in generic scripts because the scripts on the behavior tab are pulses...
