The map name in the editor is not very important.
You have to save your map as a new .e3m file.
When you want to play your map you have to edit at least the following files:
- Lang/en/missions.xml (mission briefing and name)
- Specs/vehicles.xml (add mission number to each vehicle)
- Specs/campaign.xml (mission index, budget, path to .e3m file)

Mission conditions are used to calculate your score (percentage) when you finish a mission.
You can't write scripts with the editor, you need to understand scripting to make your own scripts.
Scripting is mostly copy/paste from other scripts, but you need to understand what everything means.
When you want to request a script on a forum people need to know at least the following things:
- Objectives (example: extinguish all fires)
- Fail Objectives (example: 2 death civilians = mission failed)

The most important thing is that you never edit a file in the Data folder, but copy everything into a new mod. Example: when you want to edit vehicles.xml copy that file to "Emergency 3/Mods/[YOUR MOD]/Specs/". Create new folders if neccesary.

Tips:
- Compare with other mods. That helps alot.
- Try to find things yourself instead of asking someone. You will learn more from that.

Good luck,

It's no problem you use my script.
Actually, I'm very happy someone is trying to make a new mission too.
That's why I've fixed your script:
- You have to edit objectives.xml (in the Lang folder) for the objectives, but you can also use this what is easier for you I think:

const char TRANSPORT_INJURED[]		= "Bring all injured people to the hospital!";

- Your mission is for your own mod or are you adding the mission to my LA mod. If you're making this for your own mod you don't need this:

void OnSquadVehicleArrived(Vehicle *v)
	{
		if (v->HasCommand("GoToPolicestation"))
		{
			v->RemoveCommand("GoToPolicestation");
		}

		if (v->HasCommand("GoToHospital"))
		{
			v->RemoveCommand("GoToHospital");
		}
	}

Because the vehicles in your mod don't have the commands GoToPolicestation and GoToHospital then.

I've also made the script more neatly by adding Tabs when you are opening a code ( symbol: { ). This way you can check your script for mistakes much easier.
So, this should be your final script:

const char TRANSPORT_INJURED[]		= "Bring all injured people to the hospital!";

object Mission01 : MissionScript 
{ 
	Mission01() 
	{
		System::SetEnv("e3_doocclusion", 0);
	}

	~Mission01() 
	{
		System::SetEnv("e3_doocclusion", 1);
	} 

	void Start() 
	{ 
		Audio::PlaySoundtrack("3", 0.1f);
		Mission::AddObjective(TRANSPORT_INJURED); 
	} 

	MissionState GetMissionState() 
	{ 
		if(Mission::IsDefaultLogicNegative()) 
			return MISSION_FAILED; 

		if(Mission::GetCounter("Injured Persons") + Mission::GetCounter("Dead Persons") == 0) 
		{ 
			if(!Mission::IsObjectiveAccomplished(TRANSPORT_INJURED)) 
				Mission::SetObjectiveAccomplished(TRANSPORT_INJURED, true); 
		} 
		else 
		{ 
			if(Mission::IsObjectiveAccomplished(TRANSPORT_INJURED)) 
				Mission::SetObjectiveAccomplished(TRANSPORT_INJURED, false); 
		} 

		if(Mission::IsDefaultLogicPositive() && Mission::AllObjectivesAccomplished()) 
			return MISSION_SUCCEEDED; 

		return MISSION_RUNNING; 
	} 
};

Note; when you use this // in front of a line, emergency 4 won't 'read' that line, so you can add additional information like //By Hoppah or //By Winger.

Yes, same for eemrgency 3

[Hoppah]

So, you have transported all injured people to the hospital (= objective finished?) and the mission won't end?
Are you sure there are no victims left?

[Hoppah]

I've tested my mission multiple times now, on the fail conditions, but it just won't fail the mission. I've tried multiple different scripts, but none of them seems to work. This is the fail objective I want to add:
Fail objective: 4 dead civilians = mission failed.
I hope someone can help me out on this. Thanks a lot in advance!!

Add this under "MissionState GetMissionState()":

if(Mission::GetCounter("Injured Persons") > 3)
	{
		return MISSION_FAILED;
	}

And in case you want to display a message when the mission failes, add this too:

const char *GetFailReason()
	{
		if(Mission::GetCounter("Injured Persons") > 3)
		{
			return "Too much injured people! Mission failed!";
		}	
	}
