If I make a weapon with a long charge up time, very fast projectile speed and slow turn rate. Would enemy ships try to get out of the way during the charge time?

Go play with the Mimir from Shadowyards. I think its main gun has a long chargeup and fast projectile like the weapon you want to do.

I am using

Code

dialog.showCargoPickerDialog
public void recreateTextPanel(TooltipMakerAPI panel, CargoAPI cargo, CargoStackAPI pickedUp, boolean pickedUpFromSource, CargoAPI combined)

I found that adding buttons here in panel.AddButton makes the button graphically, but I can't do anything with it otherwise. I can't even check if it's enabled, or checked, set a shortcut, or even have buttonpressedsound.

Is it not supported in recreateTextPanel?

I *think* if you call:
panel.setForceProcessInput(true)
That should do it.

Oh, that worked, too bad there's no button.setButtonPressed to incur a script or something 

Using addAreaCheckbox I thought would at least let me check if it got checked or not.

Thanks for helping!

I wish to encourage people to do the single player missions except I don't know the method in an API to detect the score or even if the player attempted it once. I've scanned thorugh the Global API and asked around looking for something which I thought some super old mod would use, but found nothing. Does a method exist?

[Alex]

I don't think there is, no. The scores are stored in saves/mission_scores.json but that's no good either, since iirc you wouldn't be able to read stuff from there using SettingsAPI.loadJSON() etc.

I know you can get some amount of fancy code running for specific missions - things like the old Ship and Weapon Pack Arcade mission.

While that wouldn't let you get at the player score, it should let you track what's going on during the mission and write your own data to a file, which could then be read during the main campaign.

If I remove something from a faction file's known hullmods, (how) would that affect an already existing game?

It won't - adding things via the .faction file will work on an existing game, but removing them will not. Reason being, it's possible to add, say, a known hull (or hullmod, etc) in some other way - for example, selling a blueprint to pirates, or something else scripted a mod might do. The game doesn't know *why* a faction knows what it does, so it doesn't simply reset to the faction's known set of things on game load - though it does ensure that the faction knows everything in the .faction file.

What is the point of the removeKnownFighter, removeKnownHullMod, removeKnownIndustry, removeKnownShip, removeKnownWeapon.. etc then?

Or did I misread.

[Alex]

They work on the faction data in the campaign. I was talking about making changes in the .faction file. But, yeah, removing stuff that the faction "knows" via the .faction file through these methods will only work until the save is re-loaded. So if it's desired to suppress ships etc the faction has in the faction file, you'd have to do call these methods in onSaveLoad().

Another basic one: If I have a ballistic weapon that uses missile projectiles, which bonuses (from skills and the like) does it benefit from?

the projectile will benefit from missile-buffing stuff (like eccm's speed & missile spec's hp buff) but the weapon will benefit from ballistic buffs, I found this out this morning whille messing w/ a kyeltziv technocracy ship

If a modular ship has Phase Cloak, will its modules phase with it automatically?

98% confident that the answer is nope.
