Destructable solar battleships

The idea with the patrol does not work for exact positioning.

NPCs are able to spawn up to 2k (vanilla) outside of a zone/patrol. So they are not where they should be.

Maybe you could try the “experimental” mp misssion coding.

Must work.

Restart template where ship without engine is in space - it is mission creator.

Ala /restart mission - lifeboat in space without engine - swith to other char or exit - mission is created

P.S. But the problem is to do this after each server restart

Yes, mission scripting could work, but it looks quite difficult. I tried to understand it, but failed.

Try firstly http://the-starport.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?start=0&topic_id=3310&viewmode=flatℴ=ASC&status=&mode=0 - last one example is stable

This scripting thing looks like it’s just practical for special objects.
I would like to create destructable solars faster, because I want to change them daily.

Is there no other solution? Something like a parameter “respawn = true / false” via a plugin?
Maybe adoxa can do this. Could be helpful for some other people I think.

You may do it realtime by mission scripting.

What do you mean with “realtime”?

Edit:
Ok I tested the multiplayerscripting. The problem is, that every playefile will get after every login a [StoryInfo] entry. The file will get bigger and bigger, because after every login and dock this part is written again and again in the .fl file.

#12 - only one player must have [storyinfo]

This player does not dock, does not fly - he is only for mission creating.
He should start in the space.

OK now it looks like this:
every players file will grow with one
[StoryInfo]
ship_bought = true
debug = 0
entry per login/dock.

The trick with using the “activator” just once for every restart works.

To prevent new players accepting by whatever mission 13, I set in the mpnewcharacter.fl just:

[StoryInfo]
ship_bought = true
Mission = No_Mission
MissionNum = 0
delta_worth = -1.000000
debug = 0

Seems to work.

And if I want to spawn objects in other systems I need for every system a extra Scriptstart-Character?
