Title: Speed SEXP
Post by: diamondgeezer on February 28, 2004, 09:06:48 pm

Yea, verily, we need a SEXP to check a ship's speed

er, cap-waypoint-speed, surely?

Think he means like:

ship-speed < or > a number

I thought this could be done?

Oh.  Yeah, there's a training sexp for that, but only for the player.

It shouldn't matter for other ships, though, because they always fly at their max speed unless capped by cap-waypoint-speed.

What about if you want an event to be triggered when a certain capship has decelerated to a stop after exiting subspace.

When
-<
--ship-speed
---SD Lucifer (multiple entries possible)
--5
-do-nothing (or whatever)

I guess this should all be in the sexps listing in the FAQ sub-forum, but since I didn't start this thread, I have no problems about continuing it at this point.

Later!

Actually, that training SEXP isn't going to cut it. It lets me return a value for speed, sure, but I can't use it in conjunction with < or >. I basically want to tell the player if he's going to fast, see? So I need when > speed 50, for example. As it stands I cant' do that

I've had a quick look at the SEXP and the arguement it takes isn't a speed. It's a time.  The SEXP triggers once you spend an amount of time at the speed set by the Set-Training-Context-Speed SEXP

So if you use the Set-Training-Context-Speed SEXP, set the minimum speed to 51 and the maximum speed as high as it will go you should be able to make the speed SEXP trigger as soon as the player goes over 50m/s
