Can Anyone tell me how to get the capital ships to fire beams in fred 2?????

Thank you

Wow.

You'll need to do the FRED 2 tutorial. To make the beams fire, open the Events editor. Create a new event. The new event should look like

"When
blah blah
do-nothing"
Replace "blah blah" with "has-arrived-delay" by right clicking, clicking on replace operator, clicking on objectives, and then clicking on has-arrived-delay
Right click the line that appeared below "has-arrived-delay" and select the ship you want with beams firing.
Then click on "do-nothing", right click, hit replace operator, hit change, hit beam free all.
Right click the line below "beam-free-all" and pick the ship you want again.

Now someone close this thread.

[Alikchi]

You'll need to make seperate events for each ship

Indeed, he's just asking a question - it's not exactly obvious if you don't check out all the available information before asking.

Carl_ you've already got an answer from Alk but if you really want to do more than chuck a few ships into FRED then you should take a look at the tutorial that comes with the game that shows you a lot of things that FRED can do, it's by no means the extent of the functions but it should get you started. Best of luck!
