Something wierd is happening...as usual lol. Anyway, for a mission i'm creating, i inserted a Moloch class corvette. Then i commanded it to fire its beams by that beam-free-all thingie. The beams wouldn't work. Then, I tried a Cain and a Lilith and it worked on both of them. hmmmm......any solution? The sexp command was the same for all the cruisers.

Well make sure you have beam free and not turret free.. as they are confused easily

Secondliy, you want to make sure the beams are within range of anything hostile.

3rd, make sure thye are within firing arcs (generally if you can see the turret, it can see you)

4th, make sure none of your ships are beam protected.

5th, make sure your ships are armed with beams in the first place.

...is Mr Moloch present when the beam free all event occurs? If a ship warps in in the middle of a mission, but the SEXP is just "beam free all" without an event or time conditional, then fred sets the ship to beam free all when it isnt in the game yet, and so has no effect.
Try
When
     has arived
      SCv Moloch
beam-free-all
      SCv Moloch.

Thats caught me out a few times :rolleyes:
