# setDebriefingText

*Command · Briefing · Arma 3 v0.50*

## Description

Sets debriefing title, text, subtitle, picture and background for a mission ending.
The end type could be the engine-defined ("CONTINUE", "KILLED", "LOSER", "END1", "END2", "END3", "END4", "END5", "END6"), config-defined (see CfgDebriefing) or, with an alternative syntax of this command, any [String](../topics/String.md).
Given texts will be used to replace the corresponding texts on the debriefing screen.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> In order to benefit from alternative syntax functionality, there will have to be at least **three** arguments passed to the command; **two** arguments will trigger the old behaviour.
