Title: New Flags
Post by: Rampage on December 20, 2002, 07:51:32 am
Okay, with the SEXP list going,  I think that it's a good idea to start a "flags" thread.

Okay, some new ideas (Or Whatnot) to start you on:

"Kamikaze" - The ship with this flag will have its attack automatically set to ram another ship.  If this flag is present in ships.tbl, FRED2 will check and grey out the "kamikaze" checkbox.  It's just easier to do this.

"trails" - Ships with this flag will have its trails enabled no matter what.

"stealth" - Ships with this flag will automatically be invisible to sensors.  Good for the Pegasus and Ptah, so they don't have be automatically enabled for stealth.

How about a Kamikaze sexp? so they don't automaticly die.

Thats already in the game.  Look for the $Stealth: at the bottom of their table entry.

What would be better is a more detailed stealth system.  Pegasus and Ptah may appear blurry at under 900 meters and entirely disappear at over that distance.  Other vessels could be blurry at 3000 meters and lockon at 1200 meters.  Control would be useful.
