function want

[Betelgeuse]

Ok I have tried many things and I can't find a way of stopping a space object from in code. Anyone have any ideas? Before you put up a function please test it. Many things that you would first think that would work don't.

stoping a space item from?

[Betelgeuse]

just a dead stop, like you pass in a ship and the function makes it stop moving.

can you trick a ship to stop using shpOrderWait ?

[Betelgeuse]

doesn't stop the player ship.

like mega break?

if you want the stop to be instant, you could make the object jump to it's current location. not an ideal solution, but it should work, once i made a "Warp Drive", basically a quick activating short range jumpdrive. but it would stop the ship after each jump.

mmmh... tested, It works, unfortunately objJumpTo has the stargate effect hardcoded every time you jump.

It would be nice if George will change the function from:
objJumpTo obj posVector

to:
objJumpTo obj posVector [effectID]

in order to have customs jump effects and no effect at all if desidered.

(objMoveTo gsource (objGetPos gsource))

objMoveTo is the same as objJumpTo but without the gate effects (I knew those function docs would come in handy)

thanks Bobby for the hint at the solution
