How to increase hp to dynamic asteroids?

? Offline

Not working

Gisteron

dynamic asteroids do not have hitpoints. try out, comment the damage values of a weapon and set them temporarily to zero. if you shoot a dynast, it will blow off anyway. they have detection for shots and are destroyable with any imaginable weapon in FL except for collision.

Collision… hmhmhmhm…
Few shots as collision damage and last one as regular shot?

And is there any way to do “collision weapon”?
So it is other topic i think.

What does MAX_ASTEROID_LOOT_DAMAGE in Constants.ini do?

Asteroids are not destructible with explosions, end even with direct hit of missile(not sure here).

It’s really a nice idea to have dynamic fields with indestructible asteroids.

Many have tried to give those asteroids hit_pts, no way so far

Gisteron

current workaround/solution is to make the explosion of the asteroid trigger a debris piece with the very same shape. it is recognisable though but you still have asteroids around you.

Already. Not interesting.
Hit points are needed

Dunno, but not increasing hp ;(

Isn’t that constant also void? I can’t find it present anywhere in common.dll where the others are…

But yeah… It would be nice to be able to give the dynroids hitpoints… Along with mass (or have this been solved?) and explosions like mines when you get too close to them… Hehehehe

have you never played the campain? you have mine fields there and orbital gas fields, which actually are just asteroids with different shapes. the explosion feature you can add to any other asteroid shape, too.

Yes I know that and I’ve played the SP campaign COUNTLESS times both without and with different mods!

I’m not talking about shapes here… I know I could use a ship model (or any other model) as an asteroid if I wanted to!

What I was talking about was adding the same detection and explosions to DYNAMIC roids (The roids that moves) in the same way as the static ones (the roids that doesn’t move)

I’m not at my own PC so I can’t show you code examples… But if you really know how to edit asteroids you should know what I mean!

@Bullwinkle: The entire [AsteroidConsts] section is not used. Really, why did I bother creating JFLP…?

@Helloween: Solution attached.

Adoxa you rescued my day.

In combination with the solutions from here http://the-starport.net/freelancer/forum/viewtopic.php?post_id=30626#forumpost30626 battleships are prepared to fly through the fields.

Ah you ofcourse mean God? or even GOD(big letters) lol.

Well this gives an opportunity to make simply awesomely looking asteroid fields I must say.

Hope this will have no drawbacks at all.

Really Nicely done Jason.
