Shouldn't a 180 degree rotation point the ship back into the docking bay?Thargoid wrote:Replace vectorForward with either vectorRight or vectorUp. vectorForward is along the Z-axis (around which the station rotates anyway), so a rotation there won't help. But a rotation of Pi radians (aka 180 degrees) around either of the other two should do what you want.

This is quite handy for getting screen-shots of the station with the planet in the background, as well as for when I'm just being impatient. The next step to making it a polished OXP is making sure it only appears in the F3 screen at main stations, not at OXP stations. Is there a condition I can put in the equipment definition, or do I have to mess around giving it a script-changed tech level, and if the latter, how do I do that?Priority Launch READ ME wrote:Place the Priority Launch OXP into your "AddOns" folder. At the main stations of planets with technical level 4 or higher, the station master will - for a small fee - re-align the space station to allow you an unimpeded launch in a direction away from the planet, directly into deep space. Station re-alignment takes 15 minutes of game time, but happens immediately for the player (similar to instant docking, which takes 20 minutes of game time).
"conditions" = ( "dockedAtMainStation_bool equal YES" ); will limit it to main station only (you can limit the tech level in the normal way by the equipment's tech level, or alternatively with "systemTechLevel_number morethan 3" as an additional condition above). You can set multiple conditions in the array in the normal way, just comma-separate them.Code: Select all
system.addShipsToRoute(this.role2, this.count1, 0.8, "ws");Code: Select all
// next line spawns the entity and puts it in a local variable 'myShip'
var myShip = system.addShipsToRoute(this.role2, this.count1, 0.8, "ws")[0];
// next line sets up a vector myShip --> sun
var targetVector = system.sun.position.subtract(myShip.position).direction();
// next line aligns the heading to the targetVector by rotating
myShip.orientation = targetVector.rotationTo(new Vector3D(0,0,1));

//Switch AIs on VirgoTech Inc. ships to attack Player:
this._virgotechShipsArray = system.shipsWithRole("virgotech_defender");
var i = 0;
var count = this._virgotechShipsArray.length;
for (i=0; i<count; i++)
{
this._virgotechShipsArray[i].setAI("traitor_pirateAI.plist");
}
switchAI() is what you're looking for. setAI() only adds the new AI on top of the current AI which is pushed to the AI stack. Thus the next exitAI command in your new AI will take the ship back to its original AI. switchAI() on the other hand erases the AI stack, making it impossible for the ship to fall back to its original AI.startUp event?startUp event removes all traces of what has happened before, clearing all variables, removing all objects and creating the Ooniverse anew from scratch. That's what it has to do, of course. But is it possible to circumvent this in any way for this special case? One possible way is not viable: I do not want the player to save their game after starting the Asteroids3D-minigame, and I absolutely don't want to force a save upon them. So I cannot use a missionVariable.If I get this right the only thing you can check is the player.ship.status. It is not failsafe though as the status changes.Commander McLane wrote:Okay, here's a tricky one: is there a way to transfer information across astartUpevent?
