[quote who="Lavarider" reply="1280" id="3203171"]Hey guys, I was wondering if an ability that I am trying to make for my custom race's battleship is even possible. Its level 6 ability, "Mind Crush" is supposed to psychically destroy the minds of the crew on enemy ships in a small radius, causing them to go completely berserk and become neutral pirates that roam the gravity well, attacking everything that gets near them (or at least, if I cant change their faction orientation, make t

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="1268" id="3201530"] Quoting CoronalFire, reply 1267Hey got a similar question to Sel, except instead of chance, I have an ability that kills population only, and would like to interrupt it if the planet runs out of pop. Best way to do this? I remember someone seemed to have this issue. You'd need a finishing condition for that, and I don't believe that's possible. You could use the percentage killed instant action used by the Revelation

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="8" id="3201108"]No matter how you look at it, the planets' population doesn't scale well. An entire terran world only supporting 280 million people, even with all their future technology, makes no sense considering the US has over 300 million, and China and India have over 1 Billion. If its billions, then 20 billion is clearly too much for an asteroid. So what is population? An arbitrary number that generates income for game purposes. No point t

[quote who="Yholl" reply="1220" id="3200280"]Quick question that I'm sure has been covered before. I've been trying to apply a passive 15% dodge chance to corvettes but it doesn't seem to work. I turned it up to 100% and it did nothing at all. Corvette got atomized pretty much instantly. buffEntityModifierType "ChanceToHitAsDamageTarget" value Level:0 -0.150000 &n
[quote who="Sinperium" reply="1214" id="3199941"]Of the top of my head, adapt phasic trap possibly (if it can apply to non strike craft) after pulling them in with the attraction field. Other alternative would be the Vasari ability to slow speed and maneuver once in range. So you could fire something like the Marza's radiation bomb...that creates the attraction field from the target (instead of the AoE damage)...and have a simulateneous buff with le
[quote who="SpardaSon21" reply="1767" id="3199950"]This mod stays closer to Sins balance and recycles a fair amount of models from the Sins races, while SGI is a total conversion. They're both pretty different, so you don't have to play one or the other.[/quote] Ah. Was just wondering how much of an overlap there was, having two separate Stargate Mods seems odd to me.
How's this mod compare with the SGI one? I downloaded SGI not long ago and began adding things to it. However I haven't been able to connect with them, don't know if they are still active and would like to take a look at the few things I've done.
[quote who="Sinperium" reply="1210" id="3199368"]I don't know. I fubared the files--they were correct but I hadn't added all the references I needed. I'll be trying to fix it tonight and tomorrow I'll post and let you know. I don't think that's the case. most likely I messed them up (no sleep and a 102-degree fever last night). I've always done ships and abilities and that was my first stab at planets. So I'll
[quote who="Seleuceia" reply="1206" id="3199085"]@Coronal One problem is the finish condition for BuffFRANDtarget, it needs to be LastSpawnerNoLongerHasBuff, not FirstSpawnerNoLongerHasBuff... I got it to "work" in that ships would be "attracted" towards the target...of course, the problem is that they just keep moving, they don't stop and clump together...I tried having a secondary buff applied via BuffFRANDSpawner with a shorter range that resets the physics state
