Need Help Fixing Apogee Drone system
« on: January 21, 2016, 01:31:14 PM »

Hello All!

I would like to fix the Apogee drone system so its not welded to the side of the ship.

Ideally i would like to lift the code from the SS+ Arachne but limit the roaming range. I would also like to make it so that the drones are rebuilt over time.  Anyone have any ideas on where to look for the relevant code?

thank you!

For roam range:
You will need to look in the specific system definition file for that ship system (data/shipsystems/<shipsystemname>.system). To work out the shipsystem name, you can look in data/hulls/ships.csv and under the entry for apogee look at the 'system id' value (sorry, I can't remember what the name of that system is, sensor_drones maybe?).

The .system file will specify a number of things for that drone system, one of which is roam range, and whether roaming is possible.

For rebuilding over time:
You will need to edit the entry for the shipsystem in data/shipsystems/ship_systems.csv and change the 'regen' value.

Sorry, I'm not really sure what you mean by 'lift the code from the SS+ Arachne' :)

The arachne uses two Terminator drones with a long roaming range.

Thank you for the pointers!
