How to create a Shield Mount? |
I have a question. I'm creating a mod of my own and i don't know, how to create somekind of "Shield Mount" via Editor. Perhaps someone knows...
I took the idea from MoO3. There you could choose from small shields to huge shields (basicly determening how much space shields need in a ship and how many shield-points you have, but i'm not so sure) and what kind of shields you are using (Shield Level 1 to Dampening Field).
Task of the Shield mount would be determing size of the shield generator, how much they regenerate and how much supplies they use. I already created a "mount" for Seeking- and Point-Defense Weapons, so a shield mount would be the suitable balance.

I thought, that these abilities might help, but i didn't get them to work too.
Perhaps something with the requirement.
There is this function "get_component_weapon_type", that determines which weapon type the "mount" works with. But there is no function for Components like Shields or "Supply & Ordnance".
Someone else has another idea?
Re: How to create a Shield Mount?
Try this instead of get_component_weapon_type
Does_Component_Have_Ability
(Ability_Type_Name: string ): boolean
as ability use Shield Generation
May be it will be better to use it with get_component_weapon_type(None)

I tried to do this in my mod. There is "Shield Modifier" and "Shield Generation" I was never able to get it working.
