troops scripting

[sg2]

hi,does anyone know how to make more troops for a ship or does anyone know where the script is cos i want to put more on certain ships.

[MLeo]

You mean for the Marines script?

You'll have to explain what mod, since there aren't any "troops" in stock BC.

I do think he mean "Marines" dont ya?

 If you plan to use them to capture a ship, you better go to the StarBase and get more.

yea i mean marines.it came with KM or BCS:TNG and i wanna know which script controled the number of marines there are in each ship.its in the engineering menu.

You need the Shuttle Launching Framework for this. I quote the Readme now.

README:
==========
0.8 (beta: all functions implemented, but maybe buggy)

This script allows you to beam Troops over to another Ship:
You will get a few new Buttons in the Engineering Menu.
Using the 'capture' button, your troops wil atack your current target.
If you target a subsystem, your crew will try to damage this, else they will to
capture the whole Ship.
Damaging a subsystem will take between 10 and 20 seconds, capturing up to 2 minutes.
And you can still loose your troops...
The Rescue Button can be used to rescue the Crew of a dying, friendly Ship,
and you can swap your Marines between Ships using the two transfer Buttons.

I also tried to make Miguels 'Scan Area' and 'Scan Target' useful in QuickBattle.


German people can get help at the Forum here: http://StarTrek.webhop.info


Requirements:
<---------->
-Engieering Extension 0.5 or higher.

The Shuttle Launching Framework by sleight42 is not required but maybe needed if
you want to create your own configuration files (optional).

Install:
<---------->
1. Please put the file into their right place.
   I will not answer any questions regarding "Where to put the file(s) in" - Just watch
   the directory structure.

2. (Optional) You may edit your Carrier files to set your Troops Number to a static Version.
   You are not required to do that, but it is always better, else the script will calculate
   the Number by using the Ship size.
   However you can two functions, GetNumMarines() (Number of attacking human) and
   GetNumPeople() (Number of Crew flying this Ship, they can not be send to attack, but can
   help defending your vessel).
   See the file Carriers/Defiant.py in the examples/ -directory how to do that.
   And yes, you have to keep the Spaces (tab)!
   If you don't know what I'm talking about here, just leave the files untouched...
   

Thx to:
<---------->
Banbury for writing the first Transporter script,
Book (Lord Apophis ) for coming up with this Idea first,
Sim Rex for writing some code for the ReturnShuttles Mod, which I'm also using here and
the game Klingon Academy, being the model for this.
