Problems with move to debris/asteroid ... turn turret ... command

[oechre]

the code I wanted is:

Code: Select all

$return=0
while $return != FLRET_FIREFREE
  $return = [THIS]-> move to debris/asteroid $Debris and turn turret $Turret to target:timeout= 60000
end

This will lock the game because pretty often the command will spam FLRET_ERROR

the workarround I found is to insert the following code into the loop

Code: Select all

if $return == FLRET_ERROR
  =[THIS]->move arround 9500ms
  = wait 10000 ms
end

This solution however is not much to my liking because the ship will eventually find a spot to fire from but it can take a darn long time
Has anyone an idea for a better sollution?

Thanks in advance

Of course. You just don't do loops without a wait.
Even 100ms will prevent the game from locking up.

You could also try evade with "avoid (debris)" to turn the ship away from the debris and possibly get another turret to bear.

Thanks a bundle, I was looking for a better fly command then 'move arround'
somehow I overlooked the 'avoid' one.

I'll try it right now to see if it can reduce the time needed to get a FLRET_FIREFREE return
