Inability to "hide" a mission - limited to AutomaticMission

[ubertpendragon]

So I've seen some commits about adding patrols and automaticmission stuff

A problem I ran into is that you cannot "hide" missions if triggered manually.
There is currently no way to create hidden ambush missions that would surprised the player right now, as the system is limited to Automaticmission, defined in Factions.xml

Example:
I make an event where I rob a coalition station
The event then uses Missionaction to spawn a coalition submarine ambush (the police)
Problem: the mission still appears in the list and can be picked or not

Hidden missions would be interesting as random level encounters.

Have you tried the ShowInMenus property, which is used to hide these "automatic missions" as well?

Hmm, in this case this is a bug report, not a feature request. :) We'll look into fixing it!

Although I'm not sure if, after hiding it, by using Missionaction/Unlockmission, this will only spawn the mission in one of the adjacent paths at random (4 connections = 25% chance of encountering mission)
