Landing in fighterbays
on: February 11, 2014, 03:08:09 pm
Ya, I'm on a roll with the questions today :P

How do you get AI fighters or the player to land in a capship's fighterbay? I know how to launch them, but I'm not sure about landing. (Landing was never done in retail; was it even possible in retail or is it an SCP addition?)
Doesn't matter what the press says. Doesn't matter what the politicians or the mobs say. Doesn't matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right. This nation was founded on one principle above all else: the requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world — "No, you move." - Captain America

For AI fighters, simply set their Departure Location to Docking Bay, and Departure Target to the ship you want the fighters to land in, and trigger their Departure Cue when you want them to land.

For the player, set your last SEXP to end-mission, triggering when the player is a short distance from the fighterbay subsystem of the ship which they're landing on.
"We have now reached the point where every goon with a grievance, every bitter bigot, merely has to place the prefix, 'I know this is not politically correct, but...' in front of the usual string of insults in order to be not just safe from criticism, but actually a card, a lad, even a hero. Conversely, to talk about poverty and inequality, to draw attention to the reality that discrimination and injustice are still facts of life, is to commit the sin of political correctness. Anti-PC has become the latest cover for creeps. It is a godsend for every curmudgeon and crank, from fascists to the merely smug."

Perfect, thanks!

That also works when you tell said fighters to depart, if they have landing in the fighterbay set, they move to it at your depart command.

Can't confirm this right now, but ships with the "no subspace drive"-flag set also try to depart via a fighterbay if I recall that correctly (but don't put your money this)

Due to the specification of the depart queue, I think this is hardy possible. There are question to arise, which ship and fighterbay does the fighters choose to land on? It is random/friendly/any fighterbay? What if there are more ships with fighterbays in area? I guess it's quite a problem here, so I'd bet it's not possible.

They depart to the bay they're assigned to in the departure cue box, of course.  If they have no fighterbay assigned, then they won't depart.

(This was only very recently fixed though, so you'd need to use a nightly build to get the proper behavior.)
