entity tags

from Sins Forums
Good night.

I have some doubts about the tags in entity files.

1º)What is AbilitySolarRegeneration? Is it the only possible ability for the stars?

2º)Will the game developers release a manual explain the used tags in the entity files?

3º)What is the tag entityDefName?

See ya. :CONGRAT:

1) Stars regenerate antimatter of all ships in their grav well, so that's that.
2) I hope so, there are so many different parameters for everything :P
3) Context please :P Generally, it looks like either the definition of an entity name, or referencing an entity name.

As far as the only possible ability for stars? No. That's just all that's built in. It looks like almost everything (not sure about strike craft) can have up to 4 abilities. Do you want your star to reduce the antimatter regen as opposed to improve it? Then write it. :) We have quite a few very tallented people here who are more than willing to answer your question, assist, or might even just write it in for you (afraid I'm more of the "Teach a man to fish" school of thinking).

I'll answer questions and assist, but not write the whole thing ;) But yeah, scripting abilities can be quite fun, though sometimes frustrating because we don't have a complete listing of all the parameters, so you have to go hunting in other ability/buff files to try and find something to use :P
