FRED Request: "Guardian" flag in ships editor
WCS needs the "guardian" flag to be able to e set via the ship properties editor in fred - so they can save a lot of SEXPs

I did always wonder why invulnerable was up there but guardian isn't.
Karajorma's Freespace FAQ. It's almost like asking me yourself.

what does it do?
So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

There are only 10 types of people in the world , those that understand binary and those that don't.

you can damage the ship to 1 percent but not kill it - until i patched it event a debug kill couldn't kill guardian ships

Yeah, add it, that would be a great help for us,  and maybe a "send death-message" later on . (Just kidding :D ).

But serious guys, thanks for your efforts.

actually implementing a single sexp that does a send-message then unguardian, then self destruct may be even easier

Check the other topic (internal) pls. "Unguardian" is not necessary (because you can still self-destruct guardian ships), but as long as there seems to be problem with skipped event-operators, I will not risk embedding the "Self-destruct" into an message-event. It could create the possibility of an indestructable fighter, and the player would need to restart the mission (which I would call a major bug then), and this even happend before.

Don't take this too serious (I said, I was kidding ;) ), I can live without the "death-message" thing (since it would be hard to code). It works perfect the way I'm doing it now, my only problem with this is the SEXP-Limit, which will be a little less problematic with the guardian-flag and the (hopefully) bumped-up message.tbl.

I have to try, if I can do it alone with that, or if I would need another Limit-Raise for SEXP-Operators (from 3500 to 4000 max), but that's another story. :)
