Docking bay:
Code:
function Update(self)
for actor in MovableMan.Actors do
  if (actor.ClassName == "ACDropShip") and (actor.AIMode == Actor.AIMODE_STAY) and (math.abs(actor.Pos.X - self.Pos.X) < 30) and (math.abs(actor.Pos.Y - self.Pos.Y) < 30) then
    actor.Vel = Vector(0,0)
    actor.Pos = Vector(self.Pos.X + offsetx, self.Pos.X + offsety)  --replace offsets with values that place the dropship in a nice position
  end
end
end

This basically pins any dropships which have their aimode set to stay. To undock just set it to return. Random gibbing may be caused by the dropship being inside the terrain like it seems to be.

is there an AIMODE_STAY ? -oh never mind, it's for crafts. right.
but can you use it as a condition?
if you can, that's really cool, and it means we can lua in all sorts of AI modes already, as long as we use custom scenes.

Now that was unexpected. :P
So if I got this right, I'll add this to an MOSR just like the modules and when the ship is within range of 30 pixels, it will pin and align itself with the docking unit.

Those offsetx/y will probably need some trial and error testing, but damn, this is awesome. I was intending to make a similar for rockets that are on the ground from keeping them from dancing and hold them tight.

Thank you! :smile:

Yup, that's how it works. I'm not at all sure if aimode_stay works though. But it propably will.
Edit: ^sig'd, lol

now then i just have to ask do you have a pc user using the mac build test i not then i can help with that.

Wait, wait, wait. A PC user testing the mac build? Really? I can tell you how your test will work. It won't. Because it's the equavalent of seeing if the square peg will fit in the round hole. God save me from noobs.

Do you have a beta-tester testing this on the Mac-build resources for PC? If not, I can help in this regard.
I think he thinks that you're beta-testing in B22, which you have before made clear you are not. In this way it will be unnecessary for him to do so, as the main way that mac-build resources are different from the PC-build resources will most likely be re-aligned in B23.

No.
No no no no, you can't be using a mac build on your PC, I think you mean the IGF build.
You cannot use Mac programs on a PC. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
