Looking at the code, the intro skips any ships with virtual="true". Not sure how it could happen.Wolfy wrote:quite simply I was getting one of my modded virtual ships (used as a controller for some modded shields) showing up in the main menu

I figured it out - they were shield event controllers getting spawned. They have code to delete themselves if the parent ship dies, but theres a small window of time that that they can be selected

Is there a way to simply prevent the intro screen from selecting them?

How would that work? It just needs to be able to run timer events.

Try calls objSuspend when you create the object. I believe the timers will still work (but try it and see). The intro screen ignores suspended objects.Wolfy wrote:How would that work? It just needs to be able to run timer events.

Yes, the timers still seem to work - thanks!
