Passable hangar shields

Just wondering... is it possible to create a mod that allows you to pass through a ship's hangar shield as an infantry trooper? It'd go well with a side mod I'm working on.

Thanks.

Try adding this to the shield's ODF:

Code: Select all

SoldierCollision = "CLEAR"

or

Code: Select all

SoldierCollision = "None"

I don't know how you would go about doing this for a side mod though, my guess would be through the LUA somehow.

Thanks, Ace. You always help me on stuff.

By the way, where would the shield's ODF be located?

in the spacemap worldfoldersl (new world- spacemap...)

That wouldn't really work for a sidemod - would it? I've seen the turbolasers mod (replaces heavy turret beam with a bolt) - would this work the same way?

No. Turrets are a side, so they can be edited in a sides mod. Shields are objects, so they cannot be edited as sides.

Agh. Ah well, thanks anyways...

Hold on...how did we get from the shield odf location to talking about sides? Don't make this more confusing than it is. Just to answer clearly, look in the map's data_***/worlds/***/odf folder. The shield odf should be there with the other world assets. That folder munges automatically whenever you munge the map, so it's not necessary to set any special options in VisualMunge.
