I see, something that disturb me a bit is the presence of both repair subsystem and set sbsystem strengh i mean : if the repair subsystem call for a support ship, why does "set subsystem strengh" act exactly the same? i don't see the difference between them.
If set subsystem strengh simply set directly the new subsystem strengh value that would make sense no?

Those sexp now work as intended , that's perfect,

OK,
Hi again everyone,
I'm actually working on a sexp sequence that allow the player to reload it's weapon without support ship (we have no support ship yet, and planned that fighter and bomber have to come back to the closest carrier to reload.)
It's working for now, but I'm looking for a way to improve it,
For now it check the distance to a given subsystem
"evertime
<
 distance to ship subsystem
50
etc..."

What is bad right now with this, it's that you just have to run to the hangar bay at full speed and you get instantly reloaded.
I'd like to check more things in order to trigger the rearm thing :
So I've added a speed checking , but what i'm looking for to finish it, is a time check,
Basically from what i understood "has time elapsed" is based on mission time,
I d like to create a sequence that check :
when alpha 1 is Under a distance of 40 m
and alpha 1 speed under 30
those two condition where true for 5 second
then rearm.
The first two condition are checked already, but the last one, i did not find solution yet , Any idea?

[FUBAR-BDHR]

Well it's 5:30am so this may not come out too well.

You probably need 3 events and a variable (call it rearm)

First one:
When
->or
-->distance to ship subsystem alpha 1 > 39
-->current speed alpha 1 > 29
->modify variable rearm 0
repeating 99999999 delay 1

second
when
->and
-->distance to ship subsystem alpha 1 < 40
-->current speed alpha 1 < 30
->modify variable rearm rearm + 1
repeating 9999999 delay 1

third
when
->rearm > 4
-> do your rearming

That Seems a clever way to adress the issue.

Is there a limit of sexp that can be stored in a signle mission?

right now i ve a lot of sexp in my mission's template and yeet nothing happen in those mission

[Reprobator]

I'm doing it right now, what i don't get is wich sexp to use to check a variable value (i mean for the last part
Oh i think i got it!

Variables can be checked using the same operators you would use for fixed numbers or strings.

[Thaeris]

This sounds like something Diaspora would benefit from...

Given that FUBAR and Karajorma are on that team, I'd say they know about this already.

Resurecting this thread from ashes,  key pressed does not work in multiplayer coop.
I was  working on a sexp sequence that increment a variable by +1 each time the player press the key ,  each number from  1 to 5 is used to "select a ship class " then when you fill some given  condition your own ship get swapped by the one you selected, when the variable get to 6 the the sequence reinitialise it to 1

Is there another way to achieve that kind of stuff with using something else that key pressed, i mean is there any possibility to use some sort of communication menu instead ?

I may create 6 special  subsystem in a ship's fighterbay and check distance for the selection but i'd prefer a more civilised solution.

Can you post the actual event here in code tags?

Also, key-press will only work for the host in multiplayer, as other players just cant send any sexp information back to the host.

[Reprobator]

Well it works fine in solo, the same doesn't work in the multiplayer version of the mission
everytime
->key press "B"
  ->modify variable
        "ship select"
        +1
 ->Send message
 Command blah
 blah
 Fighter selected

then  i have
When is event true delay (event abobe with delay 1)
key reset B

all with repeat count of 20000
The problem is that i do not even receive the message in multiplayer, so it seems to me that the key pressed sexp do not work in coop mission.

[Lester]

That's because the variable you're using isn't a network variable. Edit the variable and choose the "Network-Variable" option. It should work that way. If it still doesn't, either open the mission file with notepad and paste the event in question here or upload the whole mission as an attachment.

[Reprobator]

The network variable is ticked already
But normally even if the variable is problematic, the way the sequence is done, i should receive the message no?
As it is for a total conversion sending the mission would be frustating ^^
Anyway here it is :


The variable itself

[Lester]

You don't need that second event, just dump that key-reset in the same every-time. You'll also need to use key-reset-multiple, as it's designed specifically for events which get called multiple times.

[Reprobator]

It use to be in the same everytime at the beginning but when i tryed the first time i moved it away to ensure the problem do not come from there
But it s part of the same everytime right now.

[Lester]

Can you please post the mission? If you don't like showing your content to the public, feel free to PM me with it. There's only so much I can do without looking at the mission file.

[Reprobator]

No problem

[attachment deleted by ninja]

[Lester]

I have no idea what's causing this. I even turned the thing into a when with a large trigger count, switched the variable to a non-network, and even mapped it to some other key. Nothing worked.

We'll see what someone more experienced will have to say on this.

[Reprobator]

^^ Did you managed to use keypressed in coop mission to work before?
