- new lib: capture and "pilot ejector seat" -

[dPM_HeMan]

Hi

I constructed a little script: download

how it works:

Code: Select all

001 @ START $script.dummy -> call script 'lib.create.survivor' :  the victim=$new.ship  passengers ARRAY or NULL=null  Control Pilot TRUE or FALSE=[FALSE]  Capture possible=[TRUE]  chance to cap=10

note: use START $script.dummy not THIS , to avoid problems with other running scripts.

what does it do ?

- the script controls some events on the "victim"
- when "victim" is killed the pilot is rescued (ejected)
- with "passengers" you can use an Array with names as additional guys in the ship that eject(null=only Pilot)
- with "control pilot" you can control if survivors fly to next station or stay
- with "capture possible" (False, True) you can control if ship can be captured (capturing guaranteed)
- with "chance to cap" you adjust the chance for capturing, should be between 1-50 (1=instant cap)

possible prob:
- i'm not sure what happens if you use the capture thing while the ship whanted to surrender anyway ?

Anyone try this then?

[dPM_HeMan]

if you whant to try it out, just write a simple script that creates some ship and load the lib, e.g.:

Code: Select all

001   $new.ship =  create ship: type=$type owner=Argonen addto=$sector x=0 y=0 z=0
002   $new.ship -> set race logic control enabled to [FALSE]
003 @ START $script.dummy -> call script 'lib.create.survivor' :  the victim=$new.ship  passengers ARRAY or NULL=null  Control Pilot TRUE or FALSE=[TRUE]  Capture possible=[TRUE]  chance to cap=10

you can experiment with line 2 to see what happens when race control is on.
I've added a line that checks for a changed owner, so script should abort when the normal cature thing starts.
Till know i had no problem with the script, to uninstall it just delete

In the script and mod download library look at the second post, from what we can find there the majority of mods and scripts still working for X2.

The last post here was in 2004! It's no wonder that the download doesn't work anymore. Your best bet is to contact the author themselves to see if there is another way to get the script.

Send me your eMail address per PM. I still have a copy.

Just to make sure:
This is a library, no script. It can't be used out of the box like other scripts. You need to write a script to use this.

I've never actually understood how to work them lol so me personally I'm out of the convo lol.
