Rescuable Ships

I have no idea if this was suggested before, but maybe we can have ships lying there and goes on your side when you go near them...

Not a bad idea. I actually think this can be done with dockscreens. If not the ship dockscreen, then surely a station dockscreen. I personally think wingmen get in the way, and I hate it when they die, so I tend to stay away from them.

i don't follow you, sponge...

I'm fairly certain (as it's done ingame) that you can add wingmen via dockscreen. I'm saying that it would be possible to mod this by making a dock screen with a "Rescue Ship" option that adds the ship as a wingman.

Very simple code:

Code: Select all

(block (ship)
	; Create the ship
	(setq ship (sysCreateShip &scYOURSHIPCLASS; gSource &svCommonwealth; "fleet"))
	(shpOrderEscort ship gPlayerShip (random 1 10))
	(scrShowPane gScreen "MAINDOCKSCREEN")
)

Put that in a 'rescrue ship' dockscreen for a wreck.
Replace &scYOURSHIPCLASS; with whatever ship will join you.
Replace "MAINDOCKSCREEN" with whatever you call the main screen with the option to rescue, murder/rob pilot, undock, whatever else you want to put.

Hmm...i'll try that...useful coding.
