Shipmaking Q&A

Well damn, gotta switch over to Flash Bolters then.

Thanks for the info.

EDIT: ...Flash Bolter does exactly the same thing, just minus the error message. Gah, looks like I'm going to have to redo my plans.

Trying to achieve that awesome corridor damage effect?

Not exactly sure what the corridor damage effect is.

Been trying to make a drone system similar to Demeters, but instead of shooting bullets, they'd release bursts of energy while flying over the target.

Although it wouldn't be as precise,you could just amp up the deviation to 180.

Not sure i understand exactly what your trying to do, but a good way to get explosions without dealing with fuse weapons is to take the autocannon and set the shrapnal to an explosion sprite with 180 devation and a short lifetime. Great for bombers.

I've been around here since the last 1 and a half years.
I found a thread that fixes the problem with 3rd party sprites.
Now Im trying to look for it, but I can't find it.

My question is how can I fix the "problem" with the sprites?
(The one that makes brownish-lines at the sprite)

Thanks in Advance!

I believe the solution is to disable shimmer.

One or the other, those are the only things I can think of.

I'll try that...
Question,
How do you make a pair of section go back 3 units then
opens (like sliding door) by sliding 3 units to the side
then goes back after the weapon stops from firing??

I'm not really good at triggers.

Somebody took a shot at it before: http://www.wyrdysm.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3629

It might not make the most sense at first, but just gotta keep experimenting with it.

Major noob coming through...

how would one go about saving a palette in shipmaker? everytime I custom color my ship, the palette goes back to boring old green when I start it again.

also, can somebody point me to a thread how to assign a trigger (comma) to make a weapon constantly fire? (the other trigger just shows how to make recoil and a bow-like thing)

thanks in advance
