Okay, what do you want exactly? Do you want capital ships to never phase jump? To be able to keep them from phase jumping in certain situations? Abilities at least can do it, but I can't really tell you much more until I understand what you are wanting to do.

Okay, what i'm wanting to do, is to disable phasejumping passively on capital ships, possibly using the 5th ability slot to hide it, and then have another ability, an active one, that i can activate for x amount of antimatter and override the passive ability.

I'm just not sure it's possible?

Or you could have a separate ability apply the override target buff buff to the ship with the passive ability.

Okay, so it's possible, now, the final part.. Is it possible to incorporate some sort of check for phase jumping to see if a certain variable is true.. Basicly, what i want to do is:

1: Disable permanent phasejumping on capital ships.   = Check

2: Make an ability to temporarily enable phase jump for x-amount of antimatter.   = Check

3: Make it so that while phase jumping is available, the ship can only jump to a planet with a phase stabilising structure/ability active. = How? If at all possible?

I have a horrible feeling that the last one might be tricky if not impossible, any help would be appreciated, and many thans for the speedy replies so far

/vap

no, not possible.

I mean, you could make a custom map with no phase lane connections, and start out each planet with a neutral phase stabilizer node, and then have the ship be disabled from phase jumping until you need it to.

What you are talking about it really rather complex.

he's talking about something like what the Empire Interdictor Cruiser does in 7DS by totally shutting down phase jump. I can't really post 1 ability and 2 buffs that do the job.  Check http://forums.danmangames.com/ -register- and sign up for playtester status for 7DS or on main page http://www.danmangames.com/dmgadv/ to sign up for membership to download.  This way we get your feedback and you get to see the Interdictor ability.

But, here you go.  Ability Toggles on and off and prevents all phase jump in the gravity well until deactivated or ship destroyed.  This makes the Empire an absolute monster if your fleet gets caught by even one planted at the far edge of the gravity well or you race to it only to have a fleet drop on your forces and have a couple of other interdictors.  This however is a two edged sword and can get them caught just as easy.

(REMOVED)

The ability/buffs could be used to determine if using a phase gate is possible while [entityBoolModifier "DisablePhaseJump"] is active, but you could try to apply it as a planet ability.

No, he wants it always off, with a way to enable it, only between phase gates.
