Nexus Modding > Scripting
Ship bounds penetration events?
jstubbles:
Thanks Mularac - I'll give that a shot. If I have issues I'll point our scripter here. I really don't understand this stuff myself.
**edit
Okay, so this does work to some extent, but there are still issues. We'd have to play it like 2-3 times at least, to clear the missiles out. It plays right when the ship starts to explode, but exploding takes like 4-5 seconds. During that time, more and more missiles are still coming out, flying away from the explosion, then converging into a single cluster again.
Also, won't this kill vipers and raiders as well?
One more thing I hate about "missiles" - they fire in the direction the ship is moving! SO STUPID. So when a basestar is moving away from a battlestar, the missiles fire in front of the basestar, turn (the engines turn off while doing so, dumb!) THEN then retarget the battlestar and go after it. GRRRRRrrrrrr >_<

Yeah it'll blow up anything launched like a missile or fighter.

Actually... no it won't.
But yes, you are right.
Also, for what is worth, the missile effect and code in nexus is meant for torpedoes, intelligent autolock crafts that have a level of maneurability.
I'll try and think of something better.
jstubbles:
I'm not sure there will be much of a solution to the problem. Without the source code it's just too restricting on things we want to achieve. We'll just have to deal with it.
Arparso:
Yeah, I sadly agree.
Nexus' engine does what it's intended to do pretty well, but extending or modifying some core behaviour is very tricky if not downright impossible at times. :(
Don't see any alternative, though, except even older games like Homeworld 2. Well, unless you like having to code your very own space strategy game with UDK, Unity or whatever...
