Title: Supernova in FSSCP
Post by: 0rph3u5 on January 21, 2009, 12:30:55 pm

I've got two questions about the supernova-effect - (Lets leave the physical side of this aside)

1 - Why does the supernova-effect does not affect any object but the player ships? Or am I just unable to see it?

2 - Is is possible to add sexp that cancels the supernova-effect? (for cutscences and the like)

3 - Is there a way to influence the factor which increases the size of the sun?

4 - Are there known issues in conjuction with the "add-sun"- and/or the "remove-sun"-sexp?

5 - Is there a way to modify the text that comes with the counter? (eg into "Shockwave Warning")

1) It's only designed to affect the player ship.
2) No.
3) No.
4) No.
5) No.

The supernova is a highly specialized effect; any modifications would require some code rework.

You could probably remake it manually (with scripting) more easily than that, but I do think some improvements (optional args or whatever) might be in order at some point.
