Title: Unable to lock controls of fighters
Post by: Clockwork Owl on May 29, 2017, 05:24:35 AM

both noStrafing = TRUE on ship_systems.csv and ShipAPI.setControlsLocked(true); via script does not prevent a bomber from strafing near its target.

Yeah, pretty much a consequence of how fighters work. If you really need to lock their controls, you'd have to set their facing and velocity directly.

...How do I set the velocity, though?

ship.getVelocity().set(x, y) should do it.

It immediately ejects them to oblivion. :D

EDIT: Nevermind, I was doing it wrong XD Fixed. But the fighters are still strafing out of course.
