Is there a way to have a part spawn a ship?

KnightOfNi

so I'm really new to modding and I am still learning how everything works so I apologize if this question is stupid. Can you spawn a ship using a part? Is there a command that lets you create a ship in the game such that it could be activated from a part. Any information on this topic is welcome. On a side note one I could not find an API for Cosmoteer if anybody has compiled such an API or if an official version exists I would be eternally grateful if you could reply with a copy of it.

KnightOfNi Unfortunately, this is basically impossible. The closest you could get would be to spawn a projectile which looks like a pre-programmed ship, but your options there are highly limited
As far as an API goes, there isn't any way to edit the actual source code with mods as of right now, but you can check C:\Program Files\Cosmoteer\Standard Mods\example_mod\mod.txt for Walt's explanation on how the current modding system works. If you have any additional questions, feel free to ask here, or hop onto the Cosmoteer discord, where most of the community resides. Welcome to the modding community!

KnightOfNi The easiest way to learn modding is to look through other mods to see how things work, how things relate to each other etc etc. I recommend doing the classic exercise to mod in a new laser blaster styled weapon.

Make sure you have a decent text editor, most modders use notepad++.
