Poissiblity to make battleShips and Bases destroyable

Wed Mar 12, 2003 2:56 am by akito927

if you guys go into the shiparch.ini file.....
you see to noticed that all ships have hit points so that meants they can be shot at and be destraoyed, and thoses "CollisionGroups" must animate the ship being blown up! just like the battleship mod! I'd tryed destroying it! it blows up pretty well!

This is a Ku_battleship i'm using it as an example. this is one of the battleships you dock with as a base! see noticed there is hit points on it????

root_health_proxy = true this line might indicate to make the ship destructable maybe ??? like turn it on and off like so??
this file also list all ships that are in the game all of them! piliable and non piloiable! if we can just compile a list of the of them all maybe make them so you can buy them!

Right, but this battleship is a normal battleship meant for the AI use in the SP game. It is destroyable. If its the stationary ones you want to destroy its going to be setup as a station that you can dock with, they are found in the solararch.ini in the solar directory.

Yea, the stuff in there has an insane amount of hp's too. So changing this would make the bases destroyeable??????

And one other thing. whats with all the planet earth stuff in here? is there actaully a planet earth somewhere? addable? or is it just a planet "type"?

Planet type... leftovers from some kind of animated intro... who knows... perhaps a jumpgate too earth or something to fight the coalition... noone knows

Wed Mar 12, 2003 8:08 pm by mateovaleo

Well, I managed to make all these things destroyable but they don't explode and disappear, they just become unuseable.......hmmmmm....I WANT DESTRUCTION!!!!!!!!

Thats most likley since they dont have any destruction animation or somethin...

Wed Mar 12, 2003 8:52 pm by Third

The "earth" stuff is from the original intro that was changed....maybe they decided earth being killed was too harsh or limited future expansion possibilities. The end of the old intro showed the five ships escape, then the Nomads nuked the sun in the Sol system (a massive shockwave animation then showed all the planets getting vaporized as it went by). If you look at the last seven CGI screens in the screenshot section, you can get some idea of how cool it looked.

"hitpoints" is what you are looking for.
try adding the line "hitpoints = 9000"...

Wed Mar 12, 2003 10:37 pm by mateovaleo

No, I got that in there. Exept mine are at 20000 :-)

@mateovaleo

I you want to see destruction ansd explosion, you must script that in. easy way is copy the script reference from a explosion in one of the missions then add that into that ships quirks. Look at how a pirate ship is scripted upon death and reference explosion. You must add them statements in, thus the Battleship will have an exposion animation. It is not there since normally it was not meant to be destroyed. Not that hard to do, use cut and paste them long lines.

Liberty cruiser get blown up in M6? animation ther...any Battleships? I am sure ther is one some where that got blown to hell.

If it is base_like they have explosion, Liberty Pirate base Rouges scripts show how it is done. M1b.ini

Yes. A battleship is destroyed in M4, I do believe.

Well..

Good thing is that I made a stationary base totally destructable.. with nice explosion and all. (Ruiz base to be specific).

Bad thing is that game crashed not long afterwards. (no surprsing really)
Also after explosion, the base still remained on the nav-map. Something tells me that these stationary bases aren't supposed to be de destroyed!
