frigate + fighter attack problem

i wanna make frigates have fighter attack

July 12, 2009 3:03:30 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

hello ppl

i wanna mod my game so i can make phasejumpable fighters.

so i replaced the light frigate with a fighter, yes it had phasejump but of course the way a fighter attacks wasnt the same

obviously in the game a fighter makes an attack run, flies away and attacks again

so basicly this is what i wanna do:

- give a frigate the attack of the fighters while still being capable of phasejumping (no fighter host)

does any1 know what i should mod in the GameInfo files?

also how do u give things phasejump, i was thinking bout making starbases phasejumpable

there is something like:

UsesFIGHTERbehavior=False
change it to true...  That will make them fly around all the time...

By the way, what sort of fleet supply does that require...  .125?  0?  Then again, 0 would mean you could unleash an unstoppable wave of fighters/bombers as a frig factory would pump out 2-3 a second...

well to make stabases jumpable, you can make them into a cap ship but it will only have weapons.

He is saying that he wants the ships to move around constantly...

actually volt cruelerz i asked 2 questions and both were answered

thanks guys i rly appreciate ur help

i just tried ur idea volt cruelerz, the frigates DID attack in a fighterly way but...

okay ill try giving u an idea of what happend

the frigate attacks, does damage, passes by, continues in the same direction (like a fighter does) but in stead of still pointing the nose in that direction the frigate is still pointing at the ship

basicly hes flying backwards after he did damage

any ideas?

first off, that is pretty funny, but I have no idea how to fix it...  I mean, if the engines turned off, it would seem logical as physics would allow for that maneuver, but I don't know how to fix it...
