Firing through the Knossos?
I'm currently in the process of making a mod which involves destroyable jumpgates such as the knossos, and in one mission the player is required to defend one of these from enemy attack, however, the attackers always simply attack through the centre of the jumpgate.  Is there any way to make them attack the individual pieces?

Also, is there anyone around who might be willing to take a model and scale it down for me? I have no real modelling experience and I need to create a jumpgate that's just a little bit smaller.

Thanks

You'd have to 1) use the SCP (unless it's not rotating), 2) make each of the pieces a destroyable subobject/subsystem, and 3) order the wings to attack the subsystems instead of the ship.

Re: Firing through the Knossos?
i have a similar problem with the beam spikes on the dante, pofcs generated the turrets and normals right but put the turret centers way off in oppen space, which is where the bombs home in on. is their any way to edit the centers of those subobjects without redoing the turrets?
I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

Hmm.. Sounds to me like someone will try to make the supergate for SCP?   ;)

Probably at about the same time that teal'c realizes he has a metal plate in his head as opposed to spontaneous and unpredictable telekinesis with all things magnetic sticking to his head.
Every pilot's goal is to rise up in the ranks and go beyond their purpose to a place of command on a very big ship. Like the colossus; to baseball bat everyone.

JC4JC could probably use some help with it cause he hasn't had anywhere near the interest he should be getting for it.
