Hey, Slug:

How many human fighters, minimum, does it take to kill the gateship? With them all being piloted by the AI, of course...

------------------
"I can ail what cures you."

I mean a healthy gateship. And the others were needed if they damaged it. There also has to be at least two firing on it at a time, because of the electronic jammer...

And has anybody noticed how the Ares icon is gone? Or is it just my computer not liking me again?

------------------
"I can ail what cures you."

I think its your computer... And it would probably take more than two fighters to take out a fully shielded gateship. The one that is being jammed could be taken out fairly easily, leaving the other to the electro jam.

I can't answer that question. I can send waves of 200 ships each (the number I can reach 'till I hit the maximum ship limit), but they hardly dent the thing.

It takes about 64 (I lost count) waves of 200 fighters each to make it retreat.

Easy: Change the rotation resolution (in the special section) from it's default (15) to 10

Ok here goes...

I'm making a mod which allows to play as another race (That race will not be named for good reasons) and on the first mission I want to have a ship entering a jumpgate at the end like on mission 13 on Ares. After destroying 3 relay stations, a ship should go through the jumpgate, but it doesnt work. Can you help me Slug?

Ok, make three seperate conditions (one for each station) so that:

If initial object # (station 1) Doesn't exist changescore 1/1 by 1
If initial object # (station 2) Doesn't exist changescore 1/1 by 1
If initial object # (station 3) Doesn't exist changescore 1/1 by 1

So when each of the three stations is killed, counter 1/1 is added to by one. When all three are dead, the counter 1/1 would be at 3.

Now make another condition:

If counter 1/1 * 3 then:
- assume initial object # (The ship you want to go through)
- create object JumpgateEffect (or JumpgateEffect Large if it's a big ship)
- Land at 32 (the speed a transport lands)

If the Audemedon Ship you want to jump out is large, you can increase the LandAt speed to, say 100.

Now if you want the ship to set a course to somewhere (eg: a jumpgate buoy) then make the following condition:

If counter 1/1 * 3 then:
- assume initial object # (the ship you want to go through)
- set course # (the object # of the destination [eg: a jumpgate buoy])

Now make another condition:

If subject (put the ship number in the subject field) is within 50000 (The distance a transport is from a planet when it begins to land) pixels squared of direct object (put destination [eg: jumpgate buoy] number in direct object field)
- create object JumpgateEffect (or JumpgateEffectLarge) (You can set reflexive to ON if you want the jumpgate effect to be created where the ship is, but it looks sloppy unless it's really slow ship)
-LandAt 32 (or 100 or whatever)

If that didn't make any sense, post again telling me EXACTLY what you want to happen in the scenario and I'll tell you what conditions to use, as I just learned how to make bi-conditionals in Hera (wohoo!)

A few notes: UBB doesn't like special characters, so when you see a '*' in the above post, it's really supposed to be a Greater-Than-or-Equal-to symbol, or >=

Also, when I talk about counters, such as 1/1, I really mean 1/1 = Counter 1 Player 1.

Finally, Ares 1.2b6 seems to be having problems with third-party sctions with more than 1 command. It usually does the first actions in the sequence, then quits so put the actions sequence in order of priority (important ones at the top, piddling contraptions at the bottom).

Sorry If I'm sounding a bit cryptic, I've been working on StarLance all morning.

I'm sorry to say this, but I can't understand what you're actually trying to ask

Please, be detailed, specific, and check your splelling

I think he means "Javellin." In Frozen Heart, its "Plasma Bolt." I don't have a clue as to what Seivle is, though...

Slug i'm still having trouble with that gateship thing BUT i'll try transplanting the consitions from Lvl 13 YO HO HO and see if that works

BTW how on earth do u get Ares 1.2b6 to work on GR?

Zell

ill answer the gr question. For any game/version to work on gr evill has to upload it on to game ranger. So tell him 1.2b6 is out and he'll put it on.

I know this and i still cant use hera

btw: slug answer my question!

------------------

Pyro: No that doesn't work. It's not Kevill's fault, it's actually Nathan Lamont's fault. You see, GR automatically checks the version of Ares, and if it's more than 1.1.0, it will work. What Nathan lamont did when he released Ares 1.2b6 was make it 1.0.2, not 1.2.0, accidentally.

Just crack out a copy of ResEdit™, open Ares, and change the vers resource (both the sub-resources) from 1.0.2 to 1.2.0

That's ok, Grammaticus, we all make mistakes!
