	Similar to the images you can have text added to the map, like little notes that become visible once a condition is met (the player reads a note or similar).

	You can setup Objectives where the player has to explore a certain percentage of the map (like in Mission #13 in Thief2: The Metal Age). This requires to set the percentage values you want each location to have on the respective location entities. You can than read them out in the update loop. To avoid the same values to be added up several times you would also need to keep track of which locations have already been counted. A global scripting variable keeps track of the percentage already discovered by the player and sets the respective mission objective to successful once it reaches the desired amount.
