Title: warping at gate/node
Post by: Molaris on July 26, 2012, 12:53:36 pm

prob dumb question, but how do I get a ship to jump out at either a constructed portal/knossos/gate or jump node? specifically as a SEXP. anyone know the way to set that up?

Anything preventing you to use departure cues ?

you mean just the regular warp in / warp out in the Edit Ship tab? it could go clean through. I was hoping to make it precise. or do you just kinda hafta fiddle til it looks right?

There's a page on the wiki that has a few jump distances listed here - http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Jump_distances

It's incomplete though. So if you want to get something to jump at the precise point of the Knossos or jump gate, you're gonna have to mess around with it.

Pretty much this. I ended up eyeballing a mission repeatedly to get a battlegroup warpin once.
