Yes. Blue and Green are the standard colors (White, Black, and Red will NOT work) Generally, use blue, but if the ship itself is blue, use green. but only after the rendering.

Not 255, 0, 0. Other shades of red will work (provided they are not in the picture itself)

That's what I meant by "work with". I'm currently working on making the vanes NOT have bands that are too dark to see, making a ship with disconnected parts.

White, Black, and pure red do not work as sprite backgrounds. End of discussion. Next question please.

Interesting... this appears to be a point of difference between my (and Pyro's) version(s) of Hera and yours, Slug, since pure red does work as a background when I create sprites.
Odd... but hardly interesting. What's the next question?

Actually, the Hera documentation doesn't appear to have changed since b1 or b2 (I believe that the NLB notes are still in there, but most have been fixed)

1) not technically, but I've found ways to simulate it realistically (no, not a rapid-firing kinetic beam thingie)

Make the weapon fire an invisible, silent, targetable pulse that upon creation makes itself neutral. Then a split second later, make it create an object-to-object beam. Since the pulse goes forward, the beam will follow it and if it's fast enough, you can do it.
Of course, don't just make it fire one pulse, but give it a rapid rate of fire.

How do you make something neutral on creation? I've tried everything I know and nothing works.

I was thinking...
Slug and I both have about the same amount of expertise in Hera. If he can answer questions, so can I. Since the fact that Slug is moving doesn't mean there aren't questions, I'd be happy to answer a couple until he gets back.

How do you make two or more different computer players that will attack each other and will build stuff/command their ships? I can't figure it out.

"I think I have discovered the problem with humans. It is not entirely stupidity, as I once thought. It is their pigheaded and baseless philosophy: "If it isn't me, then it's opinions, feelings, and life do not matter, and it was meant to serve me." They also have this ability for creating excuses that are pointless, but they get others to believe it. A few examples: "It's only some savages. It's only five acres of rain forest. It's only one semi-truck. It's only fifty gallons of toxic waste..." After this realization, I marvelled at how humans, and the rest of the planet, have survived for so very long."

Is there anyway to create a ship that can build? I had ago and if I was piloting it then I could move around but if the comp was piloting it refused to move at all. Anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks
Thanks

Mag: There are four player slots. Use two and three for the computers- I seem to remember in 1.1.1 that both Flak Drones in Make Way were enemy-controlled. But they fired on the Cantharans too.
codex: That's one of the major restrictions in Hera. However, I'll theorize for just a minute, with no guarantees of actually working:
An invisible ship is built at the invisible builder.
It creates the correct ship at the "building" ship.
The invisible instruction object disappears.
Tell me if this works; I'd like to know

- Make sure that the ship doing the building is an initial object. Its initial object number will be referred to as #B from here on.
- In the Objects editor, have all the ships that should be built be invisible self-animated objects. Insert the following create action in each:
- Create Object: Actual Ship (Fighter, Cruiser, etc.). Direct Override, #B.
- Die Expire
[/list=a][list] - Make an invisible object to do the actual building. Give it the invisible counterparts to whatever you need to build under build tags.

I tried that, it didn't work.
