*edit: changed title
*edit: Is there a way to trigger dockscreens without having the player initiate?
I was thinking about initiating player- NPC interactions with dockscreens brought up by NPCs.

I would stop time for the universe so the player doesn't die while they're on the dockscreen.

This is interesting: I wonder what you would want this for, perhaps a mod where the Huari pop up a screen to tell you about their plight, and that they'll become friendly to you if you kill off so and so many sung stations...

Something like that Fourfire :D
Mostly though I would like to have some encounters avoidable, with enemy ships that aren't xenophobic to ping you with a dockscreen with warnings to stay away from the area or else they will shoot at you. The would be an option to turn off communications (so you can just kill things) but I think that NPCs trying to communicate with the player would be more interesting in the long run ;)

Code: Select all

(scrShowScreen gScreen 0x0000a015)
This will display the radioactive dockscreen when executed from almost any event. Try it in the console.

Change the second argument to your dockscreen UNID of choice.
