Phasers

[Worf359Alpha]

Thx for the better link ACES! Just be sure to set your MPE Model Scale to 0.01 under the Edit/Options before you start tinkering on your ships, that way your subsystems will be where you put them in the ship, and be carefull not to get addicted to HPing, I spend more time HPing, altering scripts, and designing new weapons then i do playing BC.

Heya i've a little Question about Phasers...

Is there a Way to change the Phasers in Game?

I mean, you can switch in Game to Quantum Torps and so on, can you do this with Phasers to, in Example:

A Button who calls "Phasermodes"
and then you can switch to the different Phasertypes...

I will make this for The USS Cataja, she shall have 2 Phasertypes, wich are changeable

Normal Phasers
Auroraphasers

I think i need a second Hardpoint-Script with the normal Phasers, is this right so?
And where can i start to write the Script, wich lines do i need?

I hope you can help me

I think it could be done with a single hardpoint. Just put both phaser types on the same spot and the script then alternately reduces or increases the MinFiringCharge for each type.

I faintly remember that someone (in this forum?) mentioned somebody made a script that does something similar namely switching between a beam and a pulse weapon.

Yeah sounds good^^
But the Energycosts will smash up my Core ;)

And the Auroraphasers are a strong Weaponsystem, wich make a Damage of 5000 Points and i have to switch back to the normal Phasers after use the Auroraphasers^^

Do you remember, who has written the Script to change Phasers to Pulse?

Both phaser types will be managed by the same master system so they won't draw more power.

You could make it so that the Auroraphasers recharge really slowly.

Unfortunately I don't know. I think the name wasn't even mentioned. Maybe someone else knows?


EDIT: I found something.

really may not be bad way to do, however at the start of combat ALL phasers are charged.

[teleguy]

Well, he said "after he fired the Aurora phasers".

[hobbs]

hi what about a low tech solution

have bothe phasers in the hard point exactly the same so that both fire but the auroa ones are slow recharge.

ie same position but one set is arora

Does anyone know, who maked this Torpedo switches to Disruptor Scripts? and if so, is there a possibilty to get that Script in a PY??

Thnx for Help, and btw

My MPE makes some Bugs, it shows no Textures on the Ships, when they load. All Lines Folders are correct, but there is a Line called

"Model Texturepath suffix (semicollon delimited)"

What do i need for the Line???

Perhaps someone can help me?
