Title: Adding Buff Indicator independent of hull mod or ability
Post by: Ranakastrasz on December 21, 2015, 12:09:05 PM

How can you do this? All the normal examples are hull abilities, like high energy focus, and apparently hull mods also support it. I can't find anything on how to display it via a script, similar to zero-flux boost.

Note that I mean the icon + tooltip, not the stat modification.

CombatEngineAPI:

Code: java

	 /**
	 * In the status list above the left side of the ship info widget in the bottom left.
	 * @param key
	 * @param spriteName
	 * @param title
	 * @param data
	 * @param isDebuff
	 */
	void maintainStatusForPlayerShip(Object key, String spriteName, String title, String data, boolean isDebuff);

(Guessing that by "tooltip" you just mean the couple of words of text next to the icon.)

Perfect.

According to the forum search, no-one has ever used that function ever in a post.

Not too unlikely, since it only became available after 0.7a :)

Heh. That makes sense.

I was going to ask how to remove it, but considering the name of the function, it is pretty much self explanatory.

Yeeep.
