But I've got some other questions now.
How do I turn off that annoying Glow when I test my Ship in Skirmish mode?
How do I set depth for Weapons and such Stuff?
How do you make those exhaust coming out of your custom Ships?
How do you colour Weapons like the Custom Sprites?

I am not going to answer the question, and I'll delete any post made in response to you that does. Open your eyes and look for yourself. This question has been asked and answered dozens and dozens of times, no doubt on several occasions in this very thread. So don't be such a lazy twit.
How do I set depth for Weapons and such Stuff?
Press W, this will set them to the same depth as the section they're parented to.

How do you colour Weapons like the Custom Sprites?

Alright, so yesterday I was looking at Starstruck's new ship here, and wondered how in the world he created the missiles-that-would-launch-directly-and-not-reappear. I have seen this done once or twice, but after an hour or two of rooting through the forums, I still don't know how to do this as such. Any chance of enlightenment?
First off, mockup missiles.
Second off, triggers that lower the alpha of the mockup missiles each time the weapon fires, or only once.
Does that answer your question?

yeah just wondering how the reactive shields (the ones that only light up when they are shot at) work, couldnt find any info on that.
"I put no stock in religion. By the word religion I have seen the lunacy of fanatics of every denomination be called the will of god. I have seen too much religion in the eyes of too many murderers. Holiness is in right action, and courage on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves, and goodness. " Kingdom of heaven.
Way I do it is to take whatever you want to use for a shield and make it invisible, then aegis it, then set the aegis really close to black, like 2. This only flares when hit but has the disadvantage of either being impervious to a weapon or taken down in one shot by a weapon. One alternative is to make several layers of low hp aegised shielding, each one only slightly smaller than the last so ,assuming a weapon(or many) is powerful enough to destroy it, the ship can still take multiple hits before being hulled. Hope that helps.
Ok, AD, what I interpret you saying is that I create a missile launcher with the sprite of the missile, and have it's projectile as the same sprite. Then, I just set up a trigger that has the weapon disappear each time it fires?
OR, I have a section that looks like the missile, and that is what is turned invisible each time the weapon fires, the weapon itself being permanently invisible.

The weapon is permanently invisible and the missile section moves under the ship in a single frame when fired. This allows the damned thing to be reloaded eventually. And even if it doesn't reload, this prevents enemy shots from hitting invisible sections where the missiles used to be.

Another method, and the one I use, is to make a Particle Gun turret that holds an invisible, dark-aegised, arc-shaped section some distance from the ship. Stat the Particle Gun for 180 arc range and 360 turning. This sort of PD shield will stop most shots but gets overwhelmed eventually. I think it also looks cooler.
So, I've made a ship with rotating parts. Imagine 2 doors that oben and some rocket launch thing comes out. ok. now, the problem is, that only the first time it does it it works well. after eacht next time it rotates/moves, the parts get more and more out of sync. how to fix0r it?
Post up the .sb4 and I'll see if I can determine the problem.
And don't ever, ever include retarded "leetspeak" like "fix0r" in your posts ever again, or so help me.

Alright, SS, just to be perfectly clear: I have a weapon, invisible. Said weapon's bullet is the missile. On the ship, we have a section that looks like the mounted missile. I set up a trigger so that when the weapon fires, the missile mockup is instantly transported under the ship.

Then, I assume I set a trigger for the mockup to return to it's original place.
