Command related Code Glue

jbox1

So, a bit more code glue stuff which might come in handy:

AIProvider
Enables an AI simmilar to creative mode, but also works in bounty hunter mode and can be toggled by code glue. Useful for some more advanced mods. Also has a “ChildrenInheret” booleen which changes wether ships assigned to fly in formation will also have the AI of the mothership.

CommandToggle
Simple code glue toggle which activates when command control in available.

jbox1 CommandToggle seems redundant since you have to activate it by a toggle to begin with.

jbox1 AIProvider

This is a really big can of worms to open that I don't want to open quite yet. It'd need a ton of work to make it actually useful, customizable, and not annoying.

jbox1 CommandToggle
Simple code glue toggle which activates when command control in available.

This I think should be easy to implement. I'll try to do it for the next update.

Lafiel wait, what??
no, it doesn’t need to be activated by a toggle

Lafiel

jbox1

		CommandProvider
		{
			Type = CommandProvider
			OperationalToggle = MyCommandOn
		}

MyCommandOn is the toggle you want

jbox1

Lafiel No, because it works remotely, so you can have parts that only function when control is available

jbox1 I'm guessing what you want is to turn child ships into independent drones which would allow AI in Bounty Hunter to act independently? Child ships usually inherit everything except target and related commands. This might be the problem observed recently.
As for control if the ship requires control e.g. for flying or remote control access you have to build them with a control unit. Unless you want a part to switch operation modes like a computer core that I'm working on for many different functions. In that case the part requires access to a game function to see if it does have a working control unit. Currently no such function access is supported. (If it were I would have done many great things a long time ago). So the only way is to switch it on by hand. AI can't do that. So the child ship would have to switch on automatically when separated. Then we wouldn't need any checks and we still would need an existing control room. Back to square on. 🙁
