Just wondering if its possible, if somebody removed the invisible walls from the Hecate and Orion destroyers, if a trigger could be made to land into the fighterbay to end the mission instead of entering subspace. I think it would be interesting.
-
Yes. It's been done. In fact ** ******* *** *** ******-******* *** ******* **** this way. :)
You have to do:
If
-Is distance
-Alpha 1
-Fighterbay
-50
-End Mission
I think
-
I think thats how ill end my missions from now on... more in-game way of doing it. Now is there a way to start a mission taking off like the lokis take off the Repulse? Thats how id like my missions to start :)
EDIT: Typing in the IF command exits FRED and causes an error. How do i get the If command there without crashing it?
-
You don't - Rah meant When... I hope.
BTW, you'll need to be using FRED open and FS2 open for this to work, and it doesn't work eith the Hecate, at least, not for me.
-
I sense much confusion here.
Rah had the right idea but he's used the wrong logic for the SEXP's. This is better

EDIT : DS9er you never need to type in SEXP names when using FS2_open so if you ever see a SEXP that you can't find on the pop up menu it's cause someone spelt it wrong :D

Point the wing editor at Alpha wing. In the arrival box, select 'Docking Bay' and then select an appropriate launch platform, such as a carrier. Just be aware that some destroyers, namely as the Hecate, will launch you right at part of their hull so DIVE DIVE DIVE!

No kidding. That works? I never thought to try it. :)

i made a test mission of it. But i manually stuck the fighter into the Orion Docking Bay. Then i made a message "Alpha you are cleared to take off".. it was pretty cool. Now ill try the landing. :)
EDIT: I have FS2_open but i dont have FRED2 Open... could somebody be so kind...
-
:wtf: They're available at the same place...

Ah, but if you use the Ship/Wing editor to launch from an Orion, Alpah 1 (or the player) will colide with the invisible wall of the Orion... Leaving you trapped...
-
No. The wall only works one-way. You can fly out, but not in.
-
Do the invisible faces work both ways? Because when you fly into a ship normally (if there is a hole or a bad plane or something) you can fly out through any surface, no matter how stable it is from the outside. I'm not sure if invisible faces are treated as one-sided as the rest of the faces are, or if they are 2 sided and thus an obstacle in both directions.
Nevermind, Goober answered my question.

I distinctly remember it being impossible to go through, since i had rigged the mission so you would selfdestruct if you used cheats, but i needed the `C one to get out and i wondered why i didn't explode.
-
I just tried it and its possible to go out.. not in. But what i want to do is make a distance thing where you need to get very close to the fighterbay to end, but the trigger will only work if the mission objectives are done.
-
Someone needs to do the walkthrough.
Just have an event with
when
and
is-event-complete
Objective1
is-event-complete
Objective2
is-event-complete
Objective3
distance
<
Alpha1
Carrier Hanger Bay
50
end-mission
You have an an event which returns true when each objective is complete, i.e 1 2 and 3 in this example, and when those are all true AND the player is less than 50m from the hanger, the misison ends. Do the walkthrough.

Yeah, I did... Sorry, I didn't bother to open fred.
...Or think much for that matter...
-
ah! I was flying an Ursa... They don't fit good...

i think the loki and the pegasus are the best... they are small and dont have any pointy thingys on the bottom
