How to change boost duration time like hull and shield?

[ambit Yang]

Code: Select all

<actions>
<do_all exact="md.$iseeu0modifyships.count" counter="$j">
<set_object_min_hull object="md.$iseeu0modifyships.{$j}" exact="event.param2.{1}"/>
<set_object_min_shield object="md.$iseeu0modifyships.{$j}" exact="event.param2.{1}"/>
<set_object_engine_min_boost_duration object="md.$iseeu0modifyships.{$j}" exact="event.param2.{1}"/>
<find_object_component name="$components" object="md.$iseeu0modifyships.{$j}" multiple="true"/>
<do_all exact="$components.count" counter="$c">
<set_object_min_hull object="$components.{$c}" exact="event.param2.{1}"/>
<set_object_min_shield object="$components.{$c}" exact="event.param2.{1}"/>
<set_object_engine_min_boost_duration object="$components.{$c}" exact="event.param2.{1}"/>
</do_all>
</do_all>
</actions>

like the XML function

Code: Select all

<set_object_min_hull object="md.$iseeu0modifyships.{$j}" exact="event.param2.{1}"/>
<set_object_min_shield object="md.$iseeu0modifyships.{$j}" exact="event.param2.{1}"/>

It can change your select object's shield and hull
Which function can change the boost duartion?
I have tried the following XML,all dosen't work.

Code: Select all

<set_object_engine_min_boost_duration object="md.$iseeu0modifyships.{$j}" exact="event.param2.{1}"/>
<set_object_min_boost_duration object="md.$iseeu0modifyships.{$j}" exact="event.param2.{1}"/>
<set_object_min_boost_time object="md.$iseeu0modifyships.{$j}" exact="event.param2.{1}"/>
<set_object_min_boost_capacity object="md.$iseeu0modifyships.{$j}" exact="event.param2.{1}"/>

if you know how to change this attribuation,please tell me,and thank you very much
by the way:(the base mod and code is from steam workshop,thank issue0 for the excellent work)

If it possible - not miss the indentation, to make a code more readable.
And there is no any command which contains 'min_boost'

there are 4 main files for coding scripts:

• scriptproperties.xml - contains a data types and keywords
• common.xsd - common commands for AI and MD files
• aiscripts.xsd - commands used in aiscripts
• md.xsd - the same for md

if you use the vscode for edits - I can recommend to install at least [urlhttps://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=redhat.vscode-xml]redhat.vscode-xml extension[/url]

And I have explanation, why the min shield and hull sets exists.
They are useful for scenarios / missions to be sure that some ships will be not destroyed too early.

If you want to do something with boost - looks in assets\props\Engines\macros:
for example:

Code: Select all

<macros>
  <macro name="engine_arg_l_allround_01_mk1_macro" class="engine">
    <component ref="engine_arg_l_allround_01_mk1" />
    <properties>
      <identification name="{20107,3004}" basename="{20107,3001}" shortname="{20107,3005}" makerrace="argon" description="{20107,3002}" mk="1" />
      <boost duration="59" thrust="2" attack="10" release="1" />
      <travel charge="20" thrust="31" attack="75" release="22.5" />
      <thrust forward="4206" reverse="4627" />
      <hull max="4033" threshold="0.3" />
      <effects>
        <boosting ref="arg_boost_fx_l" />
      </effects>
      <sounds>
        <enginedetail ref="enginedetail_ship_l_01" />
      </sounds>
    </properties>
  </macro>
</macros>

You can try to mod some engines, but pay an attention - possible it will effect on only newly built ships, and it iwll work on any ship equipped by ... not only yours

thanks for you help.I will check the documents that you mentioned.
And i will notice my code indentation.

I just want to lock the boost pool like old version, you have infinite shield and you can boost all the time.
Now it seem there is only one solution.
I have tried to write a S level engine.It can work.
can i change the oner faction to set the engine only can build by player?
in the libraries\wares

Code: Select all

<owner faction = "court">
<!--
<owner faction = "argon">
-->
<owner faction = "player">

have two questions:

• Is legal to set owner only to player? if not how to set?
• which regime name court?

thanks a lot

Regarding engines it is possible to make a doubles for existing ones, with needed to you properties.
And then only you will have a blueprints.
But, I think it will require to add a lot of files.

I'm mostly interesting in scripting

So, the better is to join x4_modding channel onEgosoft Discord, there ae a lot of experts in modding, which can better answer on your questions.

ok,thank you.
I also agree that make a "new" engine is not a eazy job.even it just modify by game self.
