Vega Strike Forums

Hi all,

I switched here from the Privateer Gemini Gold forum, so I don't know the origibnal VS. Sorry for that.
I only would like to know, if it's possible to make AI planes use their tractor beams to collect some dropped cargo from time to time... this would be a nice feature in PGG. Maybe it is already implemented in VS... If so, could you please tell how it is activated/what files control it?
Best regards,
Andy

Hi back

As I mentioned out there no, it's not.

It wouldn't be overly hard. First, support for distinguishing which weapon kinds to fire (missiles, guns, tractor beams) ought to be added to FireAt (an AI class).

Then, AggressiveAI, another class, has to parse an xml parameter telling it which kind of weapons to fire, and an xml script tailored for cargo-container-vs-scavenger action added to VegaEvents.csv.

Not overly hard.



So... add this to the feature request tracker?

that would be nice. I think it would add some more immerson to both games. Maybe the AI shouldn't try to select all the stuff hoovering around, so the function should randomly be called... ...just my ideas...
