Would it be possible to switch textures for the player action of launching missiles?
I've roughly drawn up a twin missle bay to demonstrate:
1.Condition state: green - no target set.
2.Condition state: yellow/red - missile armed/locked.
3.Condition state: 1 missile launched.
4.Conditon state: all missiles launched.
Of course, there are many combinations that could be used.

Wow, this opens up some possibilities.

And I haven't even mentioned coupling the worldscript event above with removal of sub-entities and positioning of the launched missile to match the sub-ent missile just removed...

A bunch of frangible ships changes, might be revised soon:
- save games now remember whether the player ship's subentities are destroyed or not, and show them on the integrated load screen.
- maintenance overhaul now repairs subentities too. An extra fee is added to the price, proportional to the number of destroyed subentities.
- new js function: ship.restoreSubEntities() - repairs all subentities, returns false if no subentities were restored.
- new js property: ship.subEntityCapacity - the number of undamaged subentities the ship comes with.

That's only in trunk, not 1.74.2, hence I deliberately didn't mention it. But yes that is another option too, or will be soon for the masses.

Re: Texture switching through player actions.
Although this seems like a good and exciting feature, for something like damage (laser scorchmarks/holes etc) and those missiles, would it not be better (if possible) to do this via decals? i'm thinking that the given missile example would need 4 skins, and potentially 4x3 maps if you're using the Griff-type shadery stuff. This is going to mean a lot more memory usage, and bigger OXPS, isn't it...?

Yes, except it’s impossible. At the moment, you can’t communicate arbitrary information to shaders except by changing the materials dictionary.Killer Wolf wrote:Although this seems like a good and exciting feature, for something like damage (laser scorchmarks/holes etc) and those missiles, would it not be better (if possible) to do this via decals?
