Destructible station turrets

Should just be a case of adding

destructable = true

to the weapon/turret coding

Man , we have in our mod destructible station turrets.

Simply give them small hp and fire on them as subtargets.

Give your [Gun] code here.

[Gun]
nickname = C01_GW2Z_AUTOCANNON_A
ids_name = 458771
ids_info = 458772
DA_archetype = Equipment\models\weapons\no_fighter_gun.cmp
material_library = ;none
HP_child = HPConnect
hit_pts = 99999999
explosion_resistance = 1.0000000
debris_type = debris_normal
parent_impulse = 20
child_impulse = 80
volume = 0.0
mass = 1.0
hp_gun_type = hp_gun_special_1
damage_per_fire = 0
power_usage = 0.0
refire_delay = 0.25343725
muzzle_velocity = 2200.0
toughness = 1.00000 
projectile_archetype = C01_GW2Z_AUTOCANNON_A_AMMO
dry_fire_sound = fire_dry
separation_explosion = sever_debris
auto_turret = false
turn_rate = 360.0
lootable = true
LODranges = 10000.0

The hit_pts field is where one sets how much health the turret has.

You don’t need a destructible = true entry; I don’t even think a Gun object takes it. So if you want to make any device roughly indestructible, just give it a high amount of health. Players will eventually have to repair it, though by then they’re probably better off just buying a new device.

HitPoints. So change your Gun section of your station like this:

[Gun]
...
hit_pts = 500
...

i think he’s talking about station weapons as in weapons on Solars. if i remember correctly, in MP, weapons on Solars cant be blown off, they just get disabled then regen after a period of time. there may be a mod out there that changes that, i dont remember.

yeah, im pretty sure that its not possible with simple INI editing to make them destroyable. Maybe there’s an offset somewhere in a dll somewhere that will make them function like they do in SP, but i haven’t heard of it done yet. the problem would be that it would be destroyed untill a server reset, which causes balance issues.

Yep, i use offset, but alternate method is 88 Flak FLHook

Of course 60d

I may give you only idea (not solution) to completely destroyable station turrets (without FLHook): make them lootable and play with death fuse, explosions. So result must be: destoyed turret should fly away from station and blow up.

I have found:

This must work:
fuse.ini

[fuse]
name = station01_drop_turrets_fuse
death_fuse = false
...
[destroy_hp_attachment]
at_t = 0.100000
hardpoint = turret_s1_01
fate = debris
....

solararch.ini:

[Solar]
nickname = space_freeport01
...
type = STATION
...
destructible = true
hit_pts = 3500000
fuse = station_burning_fuse, 0.000000, 17325
fuse = station01_drop_turrets_fuse, 0.000000, 1

But that will only drop them on station death, not on turret death…

why should it? if you damage the turret, once its hp’s are gone it should be destroyed. on the other hand, this fuse opens the possibility to destroy the turret shooting on the station hull. it does not defend the turret in any way, does it?

Sorry, but I don’t understand you, Gisteron…

I thought the goal was that the turret model blows off when you destroy the turret, by (e.g.) subtargeting it and then shooting it, and not the station…

It is simply other variant of problem solution.

Firstly must be possibility to dismount turrets from undamaged player ship in space I think trough this we may find solution
