I suppose the easiest thing to do is cut/paste good information into relevant posts as they appear.

That’s what I was thinking but wasn’t sure if there was a better/faster way. I think I will start on that sometime in the near future. Here’s an idea, I will edit this post to comment on what page I am on, starting with page one of this thread (which is my page 25) and working forward. See what I mean? If I edit this post to read “Page 12” than I am on page 12; so simple even I can’t screw it up!

Default Unit Launch options

Is it possible to mod the launch components for units to restrict the size of the unit launchable? I'm fairly sure its not possible, but maybe someone has an idea...

Sort of. You can create new unit types to represent the different sizes..

That's the only way. Why what do you have up your sleeve? Can I take a peak?

Yeah but I can do that anyway...What I want is the launcher to be able to...Oh I get it...Like a Light Fighter Launcher, as apposed to a Bomber launcher...the Launcher component looks for Light Fighter or Bomber...cool...

Am I seeing this right?

Correct. The only problem is you have to specify the new unit in all the components and target types..

Default Re: Unit Launch options

Yet if I'm making the units from scratch and including them already, then it wouldnt be that much of a problem...

Bascially what I wanted where to emulate the launch tubes, balcony/track system, and shuttle bays for SFB. Also PF links, and bombers. Bombers cant be launched from ships, so I was trying to find a way to limit them to just planets. Plus limiting fighters only from using the launch tubes as apposed to the regular shuttles from the shuttle bay. I assume I can list multiple unit types for each launch component. Like a shuttle bay could launch a shuttle, fighter, or even drop a mine out occasionally...

Now the only question is can I limit what the cargo hold ability can carry?
