Problem

posted on May 13th, 2009, 8:16 pm

Alright, so I'm working with someone on a new TC mod that uses 1.2.5 as a base. Anyways, what we have is this: a research station structure with 3 yard pods on it, none of which have the ability to repair.

When I build the yards and they have repair capabilites, they work fine. Then, when I disable repair capability, it only lets me build one of the three add-ons. The problem is, repair capability is NOT included in our game plan for these yards, and would somewhat ruin how it plays. The offending line of code is this:

repairFacility = 0

If I delete it, they all run fine. But I need to include it or they'll have repair capability, which, again, is not supposed to factor in. Can you guys do something about this? Or is there already a solution (besides letting them repair)?

did you try -1  instead of 0?

Why would I do that?

EDIT: I tested it, and it didn't work.

I only asked because in certain odfs like weapon and physics and even sone ship odfs they use -1 instead of 0.  Other than that, It might have to do with a un-used hard point.  Or you could try to just leave the line out all together.

The problem with leaving it out is that a yard, by default, repairs, unless you tell it not to. As for unused HPs, that's not a problem.

I forget, do you get repair hardpoints on models?
Or actually, I might be right but if you don't include one it just uses the root.

The mixed-tech yards in FO3 are shipyards and not repair facilities. You could check those out.

If you don't provide an HP, the ship lines up in front of the yard, rather than at the root.
