Oolite Bulletins

sure, give me a minute

Still nothing , the lights are still there

well, I thought that it would certainly be picked up there, instead of all the way up there, but ok, I will put it back on top, since otherwise I will have to repeat it for each case correct ?

let me see what that does.

Well, I tried out what you said, and still no dice. There is however 2 parts to this script. I understand that more than likely the NPC's and the player versions will have different scripts, for the issues you pointed out. So I am first struggling with an NPC version that would remove subentities as...

Thanks Griff

Dear Cim, I have been trying out different methods for hours now of getting the code you suggested to do anything ingame and copying it everywhere and nowhere, trying out different combos, but I am really pulling my hairs out now... since nothing seems to be working. As far as it goes the code in th...

Okay,

I'll have a go with some different values, thanks for the useful info.

Ok Cim, Following up on what you all said concerning hit points, would you mind taking a look at this spreadsheet file and tell me what you think about the values: https://app.box.com/s/3skqwkjh9oea69p1rtwo I honestly don't understand how the damage transfer calculation is done, so I left that open....

Much obliged

Where can I find the damage per second for a beam laser please ? Did see it in the Javascript reference yesterday, but cannot seem to find it again.

Hey Zireael, thanks for testing. I have made some changes to the external and internal views and uploaded a new version: I am working on a script now so the one in there is pretty basic, just gives you some general info on the destroyable pieces. I have a pretty good idea now how to get subentities ...

interesting

Okay, I will work out what I have and then post a test version of my messy code here when done soon.

Thanks Cim. Enjoy ur Sunday

Ah thanks, I thought this value was solely related to shield energy and not toughness itself, giving more energy for the shield instead of hitpoints to every subentity by adding max_energy... That's good to know. I guess giving a reasonable max_energy value to gameplay related subents is mandatory, ...

Another little question, is there a way to give a subent more "hitpoints" or make it tougher against laser fire (not missiles) ? The large cargo bay should obviously be able to take more hits than a Toruspanel cover; also having your front laser destroyed (and effectively making you harmle...

Thank you Cim, Instead of being completely blind, at least now, I can see some light coming through those closed shutters. :) If it's one-directional - i.e. A gets destroyed and B goes too, but if B gets destroyed A is unaffected - you should be able to make B a subentity of A rather than a subentit...
