Title: Sexp request: ship-set-primitive-sensors
Post by: Woolie Wool on February 03, 2013, 10:13:31 pm

Some missions in Twist of Fate feature an electronic warfare Anubis that interferes with sensors but there is no sexp that handles what I'd like to do (not even alter-ship-flag, because many flags are missing). This would be a simple, sexp, named ship-set-primitive-sensors, and would take at least two arguments:

1: Boolean: TRUE or FALSE. TRUE enables primitive sensors, FALSE enables normal sensors.
2+: Names of ships to set primitive sensors on

This would allow the mission author to toggle between normal and primitive sensors on selected ships at will.

This should probably be added onto alter-ship-flag.

Should have this working already.  Post a patch in a bit.

This one scares me.  It was way too simple.

The idea behind alter-ship-flag was to make it ridiculously easy to add new flag SEXPs. I haven't tested the code but you shouldn't have to do much more than add the flag in 2-3 places to make it work.
