[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="47" id="2998793"]I've also wanted to do such a passive ability, but the problem is I'm not sure if there is a sure fire way to only apply a buff when shields are down. Indeed, if Sins shield regeneration is constant instead of per second the only time shields are completely down is immediately after a normal weapon hits.[/quote] There is an if shields are down finish condition, ShieldFailure. So it'll have to use that... I imagine it'd have

[quote who="SpardaSon21" reply="45" id="2998608"]. That's good to know. Do any ships in SOGE use this for ion cannons?[/quote] At the moment, no. Though, after 2.0E is out, there's plans to redo the stats of most of the ships in order to accommodate ion cannons. The reason it hasn't been done yet is that this will pretty much turn the entire mod atop it's head. I'm also thinking, as an additional passive ability, to add in a bit that if the shields of an

[quote who="Volt_Cruelerz" reply="363" id="2998476"]I think buzzdroideffect should use an applybufftoself instead of applybufftotargetnofilternorange. The reason for this is that you didn't previously use ApplyTargettedBuffToSelf, thus ABTTNFNR doesn't know where to aim.[/quote] Will try that, thanks.

Jeez, it feels like I'm spamming this thread. But anyways... Another question, I'm basically trying to code a buff, which calls a buff, which calls another buff. The first two of the chain fire off flawlessly, but the third does not want to fire off for some reason. Here's all three of the buff files. As you can see, I'm doing it so I can set a stack on the last of the three, the hull DPS, but leave the previous unlimited.
[quote who="Ryat" reply="36" id="2997998"]firingAlignmentType "Default" You use this line to fix that issue.[/quote] This does not fix the issue; if you set it to TiltFoward plus an angle, the ship will keep moving about; it will not merely turn that angle and sit still, which is what the50first is referring to in his post.
That Anahn ship looks even nicer ingame than in the renders you previously posted.

Maybe post in the get an answer thread about it?[/quote] If it's a newer card (like the ATI 6xxx line), Iskatu is probably best off asking the devs about it, as odds are it's an issue with the program itself.
Add in the file-extension, i.e. fileName "Unit_Picture2.tga" and it should work.

The issue I believe is that if there are no Pirates you can't set that pirates are inactive/active setting which causes the game to
So I've been thinking of AI coding and the like. I'm aware that the AI needs every single frigateRoleType in order to properly function, even if that ship doesn't fit the role. Seeing as how some modded factions simply don't have ships that fill this role, I was thinking of an alternative, and was wondering if it had been attempted already. That is to make "filler" frigates that are unattainable (cost more supply than the cap, and plenty of resources), which shows the AI that

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="1" id="2992576"]Additional planets are probably too much to ask for, as that would imply modifying all the maps in the game before hand, and may not even be possible with the random maps.[/quote] No it's possible for Randoms; I've done this in SoGE. That is where each player starts with more than one planet and on a Random map. It requires a bit of balancing work, if you want the planets to start with upgrades, but it's been done.
