set group for all ships
Hello
I begin to work with fred 2 to make some missions. Here is my problem: i want to set speed of all ships in a convoy. For this i can use sexp cap waypoint speed but it seems to be i can set speed only one ship in one event. The convoy is big and represents a lot of events! Here is my question: is it possible to groups all ships in one something to be use in sexp. One order for all
Pardon for my poor english!
thanks

Re: set group for all ships
You can use multiple sexps in a single event. Right click on 'When' and then 'Add Operator'.

Alternatively, you might have a look at conditional arguments for another method of doing the same thing.

Re: set group for all ships
being able to list several ships in a list would be nice though

What do you mean by that?

Re: set group for all ships
I assume he means...

cap-waypoint-speed
+speed
+list of ships

Similar to..

is-destroyed-delay
+delay
+list of ships

I haven't opened FRED yet to see if it already works like that or not though.

yep.

using the word list twice in the same sentence was not a good idea, I would fire my brain but I think I already did

Re: set group for all ships
thanks a lot for your help.
"list of ship" will be great, i agree. The worst is that u can't use wings, and i have to list ships one by one. I will study conditionnal arguments...

Shouldn't that work with something similar to this?
