Ability questions...

[Scipio]

I have a bunch of questions, I hope they are not too stupid.
1. Can I give any ability to any object?
2. How many abilities can I give to ships/facilites/components?
3. Can I give the claok ability to a facility? How will it affect the planet or will it have no effect?
hm, just 5 seconds ago I had a couple of more questions, perhaps later they come back.
Could you help me?

"1. Can I give any ability to any object?"

Check SE4 Modding 101 Tutorial, chapter 16, linked in my sig.

"2. How many abilities can I give to ships/facilites/components?"

As many as you want to. There is probably a limit, but it is likely to be 255, so it won't ever be run into. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

"3. Can I give the claok ability to a facility?How will it affect the planet or will it have no effect?"

It will not cloak the planet Last time I checked. You can use the Sector - Sight Obscuration ability on a facility, and that will cloak everything in the sector (planet, ships, bases, enemies, etc.).

EDIT:
Better turn my sig on when I make a reference to something in it... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
