That doesn't sound like you'd be able to issue it to specific ships though :(

Depends on the coder who implements the SEXP.

I can see uses for both situations. Like rearming.. I can see a time when you'd want to have a single ship rearm, but there's also a lot of use for good-rearm-time.

During sections of missions where I want all my fighters to burn to a far away target, a way to tell the AI that now's a good time to use their burners would be preferable to having to tell each ship separately.

Though, I already get around this by creating an invisible hostile craft at the target destination and tell the AI to kill it.. then just clear the orders when they get close enough.

Yeah, I'm definitely down with that approach, but damn if it isn't a little hacky, especially when you can see your wingmen's orders.

Well.. until we have a way of getting the AI to use their burners, gotta work with what we got! There's definitely been worse FRED system hackish approaches. amirite?

[18:35] <MjnMobile> Axem, I feel you should weigh in on the discussion on FRED hacks...

[18:36] <MjnMobile> because I know YOU never do things like that
[18:36] <@Axem> yeah
[18:36] <@Axem> like for a race where i needed a certain red fighter to be going on afterburners all the time, i totally didnt change his default thrusters to the afterburner ones and increased his speed to really fast
[18:37] <@Axem> and moved his contrails to the engines so it looked like he those on
[18:37] <@Axem> but yeah, never

Derp. Axem is modding FSO just as hackishly as I was modding HW2 :|
People are stupid, therefore anything popular is at best suspicious.

Just FYI Admiral MS, using this to improve the way AI allies sneak along close to the ground in atmospheric missions. Really awesome, making my life a hell of a lot easier :)

What commit is this in, or is it just a patch that's going to get committed eventually?

Just some additional information as some of you may not know it or have a wrong idea of what caused this bug in the first place: Only set-object-position has been fixed - any other sexp that manipulates positions directly or indirectly (like set-object-speed) won't affect the waypoint position used by the ai. I plan to fix some of them (if it's not too much coding) and the corresponding scripting functions.
