Title: ship-targetable-as-bomb?
Post by: Aardwolf on April 25, 2009, 08:01:58 pm: What's this sexp meant for (and other related-sounding things, e.g. ship-untargetable-as-bomb, and I think some initial status or misc flags)?

I have a guess (from reading the wiki entry on it), that maybe things that are like bombers but only in certain situations (i.e. not specifiable as a ship type) would use it so you could target them like you can target bombers (provided there are no bombs-in-flight),

but I'm not sure, so I'm asking for clarification.

Also, are there any mods which use it?

If the ship-targetable-as-bomb SEXP/Ship flag is used the ship is treated like a bomber for this purpose.

/me reminisces about the days of FS1, when pressing B wouldn't target bombers, and (iirc) R wouldn't target specific turrets

Post by: chief1983 on April 28, 2009, 01:08:21 am: Yeah I'll admit, it would be nice sometimes if you could just target the ship and not a particular turret/subsystem by default.
