Effect trigger on base dock

cvekiboy

How to start up effect like “basic_trade_lane_eq” on a base while docking? Need just tl_ship_enter = basic_tl_ship_enter effect.
Made a TL/JG as a parent of a base but its silent.
Any other idea?

You would need to parent the base to the jumpgate/hole, not the other way around.

Just a crazy idea: Try out using
jump_effect = jump_effect_WHATEVER
on the base.
In the jumpeffect.ini you could create a new effect and change its glow_ring_hp hardpoints to some the base has.

MAYBE it will work.

But besides this, I don’t have any idea doing it on the conventional way.

I’m still trying.

Out of curiosity, where did you get that effect that goes off at 38s in the second video?

If u think of jumpdrive_activate effect that starts at 0.36 and ends at 0.46 is Disco’s modified effect.
The real question is effect on first video which Im still unable to figure out how/why is triggered and what name is it?

[EDIT]* Here is mod that does this. Change .zip to .flmod
