Script to move the player from one ship to another

[Esc.Control]

I've been studying all the documentation I can find, and I've yet to find anything that lays down exactly how to do this.

Desired behavior: A script command that will physically move the player from piloting one ship to another ship, in this case from a carrier ship to a fighter docked at that carrier, thereby launching the fighter. This is the exact same thing that would happen if you clicked on the fighter in your [R]Property Menu, then used Advanced > [X]Change Ship


In case you're curious, the end goal is to have a script that I can hotkey that will instantly do the following:
1) Put me into my personal fighter craft
2) Put the carrier on Attack All Enemies
3) Possibly launch some fighter wings based on context. Worry about this part later.

Obviously I can issue all those commands manually, but after doing so manually for the ten-thousandth time, I figure it's time to pursue some automation.

At the end of the General Object Commands you can find the command: <RetVar/IF> move player to ship <Var/Ship>: Teleport=<Var/Number>. You might have to undock the fighter from the carrier first.

Yup, there it is, plain as day. Shame I couldn't see that before I opened my big mouth. Thank you for the help!

There is a command available to move the player from one ship to another.

its,

Code: Select all

<RetVar/IF> move player to ship <Var/Ship>: Teleport=<Var/Number> 

Var/Ship is the target ship you wish to move too. If Teleport is true, then the teleport animation is displayed, otherwise it just moves straight away.

To use this command, both ships must be in the same environment, so first tell the fighter to undock, then call the command once the fighter is in space
