That happens sometimes when messing with hard points while in-game.  Sometimes the game reloads it properly, sometimes it does.  One thing I found was that sometimes ability and weapon points would seem to reload when in game just fine (after minor edits in notepad to fine tune positions), but exhaust point alterations would require me to start a new game or restart sins entirely.  it is just sins being funky.

I have noticed that with the AI's as well... During testing of 7ds ill switch active players to the AI and just watch what they do, sometimes they take friggin forever to do anything.  I attribute it to shoddy AI logic lol, because sometimes they behave fine and expand freakishly fast... But other times, not so much...

No, it does not.

Frigates that can bomb planets will always rush planets no matter what role type you give them.

I feel kind of bad tooting my horn, but I did quite a bit of research into Sins' AI and wrote all my findings in the Artificial Unintelligence thread on the forum (along with posting the AI mod I made based on said findings).

frigateRoleType will only affect what ships the AI builds, it does not affect the way it handles said ships once they're built (with the exception of AntiModule, since that automatically makes it so that ships can only attack buildings). For example, you can have the AI build less siege frigates by assigning the Siege frigateRoleType to other ships; if you assign it to a Heavy Frigate, the AI will consider building either a Heavy Frigate or a Siege Frigate when it wants to build "siege" ships. Based on what someone else found and I verified, the AI will always, ALWAYS go straight for the planet with any frigate that can bomb planets, irrespective of their frigateRoleType. The only way you could make AI siege frigates actually participate in fights is to remove their planet bombing capability (maybe have it toggleable with an ability that autocasts if there are no enemy ships nearby?).

As for the AI reacting slowly, that has to do with the BuildXYZ values in Gameplay.constants. Said BuildXYZ values are check frequency parameters and are set to single-digit numbers by default. Simply multiplying every value by 100 will produce noticeable results (it will increase AI reaction speed by about 4x), but a word of warning: the higher you set those values, the more lag you'll get with AI in the game, since eg. instead of checking whether they want to research every minute or so, they'll be checking every 10 seconds.

I can confirm this based on my own testing as well. I can also confirm that "RacialBuffAtLocation" cannot be used in tandem with the Open Rebellion event/trigger.

That is what I would assume. When I tried mixing it and Open Rebellion, iirc the planet was successfully killed, but the fleet never spawned nor was the planet re-colonized. Got an odd dialogue message for the event on top of that.

Hey guys!

I have noticed something very odd. For some reason the galaxyfoge and every premade map is ignoring the fact that i have changed this two valuable (moveAreaRadius 160000.000000 hyperspaceExitRadius 130000.000000). Only random maps using my modified version of the planet entities. However, the metal and cristal asteroids are still calculating their position useing my modified variables effectively placeing them outside of the gravity well!!


Is anyone has any idea that what the hell is going on?

Galaxy Forge needs an updated copy of the galaxy file in the same directory as the exe.

As for existing maps, designed maps have set values for these and will override your planet setting.  You'll have to go through and change them.

Ok, run into another stumbling block (this is getting old)

I have a ship that has an ability to make itself invulnerable for as long as its antimatter holds out (ability drains antimatter).  I wanted to make it so that when the ship fires its weapons it loses its invulnerability for a short time (1-2 seconds).  So in the Ability's Buff I added an PeriodicAction to activate a new buff "onweaponfired" that is supposed to interrupt the CannotBeDamaged using CancelCannotBeDamaged with the appropriate timeframe but nothing happens.  I have tried every reasonable combo of buffInstantActionType, actionIntervalTime, with and without DoInterrupt in the second buff etc I can think of and unless the "OnWeaponFired" is special someway I can't figure out how to get it to work.  If I change "OnWeaponFired" to "AlwaysPerform" then it does it for the set interval/timeelapsed.  Whats weird also is that even if I add a weapon entitymodifier like "WeaponCooldown" I don't get that either with on OnWeaponFired set.  This is what I have so far on my last attempt

(Are there no code boxes we can use for these things or am I just missing it)

Edit: Used PasteBin

No ideas anyone?

just wondering, is there any other options for: spawnShipsHyperspaceSpawnType "FleetBeacon"?

or is "FleetBeacon" the only choice?

Is there any way to get a spawned ship to say the onbuild line when spawned?
