it should -

[dump_cargo
at_t = 0.000000
origin_hardpoint = HpMount

Cheers, thats fixed it ok now. Many thanks.

...perhaps someone can help with this:

I try to have pilot licenses to mount in a special hardpoint.
Did steal the "hp_fighter_shield_special_1". This is now "Pilot Licenses".
-------------------------------------------------------
.....
hp_type = hp_fighter_shield_special_1, Hpxx04
fuse = fuse_loose_lic, 0.000000, 1
...............
-------------------------------------------------------
I try to kill this HP with a fuse, so that mounted license is lost, when ship + player die.
Therefore my NOGO fuse:
-------------------------------------------------------
[fuse
name = fuse_loose_lic
lifetime = 1
[destroy_hp_attachment
at_t = 0.1000
hardpoint = hp_fighter_shield_special_1
fate = loot
[destroy_hp_attachment
at_t = 0.15000
hardpoint = Hpxx04
fate = loot
[destroy_hp_attachment
at_t = 0.2000
hardpoint = HpConnect
fate = loot
-------------------------------------------------
... as you can see, i m not sure, what to destroy.

this one's correct:

[destroy_hp_attachment
at_t = 0.15000
hardpoint = Hpxx04
fate = loot

it should work, provided that lootable = true in the licenses archetype

Ty, but ..... nogo

On the server there is this message:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E:\FL\Scratch\Source\Common\CAttachedEquip.cpp(677) : *** ERROR: CAttachedEquip: Failed to connect on Equipment\models\commodities\crates\crate_red.3db to Hpxx04 (Ignorable)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i´m banging my head for a while .....
pilot license + loot looks like that
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[LootCrate
nickname = pilot_001_loot
DA_archetype = Equipment\models\commodities\crates\crate_red.3db
LODranges = 0, 50, 150
mass = 1
explosion_arch = debris_normal
;-------------
[ShieldGenerator
nickname = pilot_001
DA_archetype = Equipment\models\commodities\crates\crate_red.3db
ids_name = 524652
ids_info = 526759
loot_appearance = pilot_001_loot
units_per_container = 1
lootable = true
HP_child = HpConnect
hp_type = hp_fighter_shield_special_1
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

... and i already tried "some" variations of this.

Which ship are you mounting on to? I haven't heard of the Hpxx04 hardpoint.

that' doesn't look like a valid shield entry to me - and the lootcrate is unecessary.and i don't see any lootable = true - Hpxx## is a HardCMP added hardpoint M-A-C-E.besides all that, does this crate have a proper mount to connect itself?

Ok i try to point it out, what we did (may sound a bit funny, cause my english sometimes has bugs too).

1. there are some extra Hardpoints (HPxx01 - HPxx04) in each CMP in the actual WTS2.82 (actual test version - if you should be interested http://www.filefactory.com/get/f.php?f= ... 2e14b53730)

2. there are no more "normal" "hp_fighter_shield_special_1" all fighter shields class1 have been upgraded to class2.

3. "hp_fighter_shield_special_1" is assigned to be pilot licsense
It has NO shield effect, should have no shield effect and has no proper shield entry therefore.
(have a look in my second entry. "Lootable = true" is there on the 3rd line from below)

4. HPxx04 is assigned to hold the pilot license.
(have a look in my first entry.)

5. One bug - but not the one i m hunting - is the "DA_archetype = Equipment\models\commodities\crates\crate_red.3db" entry. This seems to deliver the server error.

6. Thanks for the tip, that "lootcreate" is not needed (i had a little suspect about that) I ll try this.
Together with an other archetype (no red crate -:-)) this might work.
