Wingmen with Different Personalities

[Hatsuya Kanzaki]

I wish that some wingmen can talk to you, and even program some of them to scream upon death.

BTW, how do I make a wingman say my player name?
[I'm using the Hornet wingman mod as my reference for now]

In my mod, I've planned to make some of my wingmen speak differently. Maybe it would need a table or some randomizing stuff.

for using the player's name try "%name%" (without quotes) in your messages.

for screaming on death, put a message in an <onDestroy> event.

I'm trying to apply that one on this line of code:
(objSendMessage gSender gSource "Okay, I'll be waiting, %name%")

but it doesn't display my character name T_T

[Prophet]

Try this:
(objSendMessage gSender gSource (cat "Okay, I'll be waiting, "%name%))

As for making dialogue, you could place your text into staticData on your wingman's ship and simply retrieve it with events.

Try this:
(objSendMessage gSender gSource (cat "Okay, I'll be waiting, "%name%))

Does that work??

If not you can use

Code: Select all

(plyComposeString gPlayer "Hello %name%")

Have a look on xelerus' function index

Try this:
(objSendMessage gSender gSource (cat "Okay, I'll be waiting, "%name%))

You mean like the one in Arco Vaughn's? in CentauriWarlords.xml?

nope, it doesn't

I've been using (cat "") too much in my stations... sorry Hatsuya Kanzaki

That's a great place to look. Korolov.xml has some stuff also.

If you could add some more detail about what kinds of things you want the wingmen to say, or better yet, when, we could give you a better answer as to *how* to do it. Needless to say there are many ways of making wingmen talk.

These are the things on my mind right now.

Arcana Interceptors
Actually, the Arcana Interceptors were mostly piloted by cheery Arcana Apprentices.

If they're called, they'll say:
"Hello there, %sir% %name%!"

If they're told to attack and the target's there:
"I got one! I got one, master!"
"Sure, why not!"
"We'll hit that thing damn hard!!!"

If they're told to attack but no target available:
"Sorry dude, can't do that"
