I SO CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS MAP. Destructable capital ships sound the best though. That would be so great. I would like then to collide into each other or something or is that too hard?

About the TIE fighters/TIE interceptors - have you ever considered reducing their HP and making them more agile to compensate? TIE bombers have decent armoring (over 3 times as much as a TIE fighter) but the other two fighters tended to get shot down with only one hit.

Oh yeah cause in the movies tie fighters die easy but they attack in HUGE numbers. Oh and could u make it so the x wings and stuff fly in formation instead of them flying around like they don't know how to fly.

There's some Squadron Formation in the programming but I'm not sure why it never happens in the game.

SquadronFormation = "Box-form" //x wing

SquadronFormation = "Line-Form" //y wing

SquadronFormation = "Tri-form" //tie fighter
SquadronFormation = "Box-form" //tie fighter

Hmmm intresting. U should try it out in the map

It's already there. The Squads are coded into the fighter's odfs

maybe its the // that make it not work

.....................dude I put that in there to tell you which one it corrosponded to.

each of the lines is found in a seperate odf (except for the tie fighter which has 2.)

lol ok. Maybe the // is not the answer then...

Is there a way to make a critical system be destroyed by destroying either of 2 objects?

For example u can destroy either of 2 computers inside a ship to blow up the life support

Is possible to make the capital ships or frigates slowly move around the map?

Why don't we add some killer clowns dancing on top of big shiny balls and shooting lock-on acid ice-cream with Fallout Boy as the background music?

becuse he would have to do some major file editing, and we would have to get new models and animations, this would take a lot of time and effort. besides, clowns dont really fit in this era.

Yes, like so:

LinkedCriticals = LinkedDestroyables:New{ objectSets = { {"InternalCriticalSystem1"}, {"InternalCriticalSystem2"}, {"ExternalCriticalSystem"}} }

LinkedCriticals:Init()

Frigates can be animated to move but capitols cannot because all the important junk (regions, spawn points, ai planning) associated with the capitols cannot move at all.

heh i just figured that out when i was testing my map didnt get back soon enough to tell ya. i have an idea about moving cap ships. we need to get one sealed non - command post capitol ship and animate it to move,

WaylandJr · Post by **WaylandJr** » Sun Jun 25, 2006 3:09 pm

Don't forget that players inside wouldnt move either, they would just slide to the back of the cap ship and probally die... to make a capital ship move it would have to be moving pretty fast to even look like it is moving slowly due to the size of everything so players would probally also fall through the ships mesh into space as well.

EDIT: for the post above- that wont work either as the exteral critical systems ect. wouldnt move properly unless you used a skydome model of a ship (the one you see on various ground map when you look up) which are very low res.

Chamboozer · Post by **Chamboozer** » Sun Jun 25, 2006 3:24 pm

Then dont include critical systems, or make them props

He was being sarcastic.

We Need FLYABLE FRigits it will make the map so fuckin fun i mean the frigs will even have positions

Moving_Target · Post by **Moving_Target** » Sun Jun 25, 2006 5:09 pm

I dont completely understand your post Vaders_Legion but me and MasterSkywalker already have Frigates flyable. It's up to Xwingguy to decide if he wants to add them. Im stilling working on them. One reason Xwingguy may not add them because them may not a purpose in his map. If you want to flyable frigates here's the link
