[[Help] Limit all ships speed?]

having no idea what im doing really I just try this and it didnt work, I think if I knew what the pitch, yaw, and roll values were labeled I could maybe try a better attempt.


 

function traffic_police(entity)
    -- for some weird reason (bug?), maxVelocity is smaller that actual value,
    -- so it needs to be multiplied by 2.5; probably programmed by some murican...
    local initial_top_speed = Engine(entity).maxVelocity*2,5

    local tier = ShipSystem(entity).numSlots

    -- we start off at 600m/s max, and loose 20m/s for each system slot of the ship
    -- that means 500m/s max with 5 slots, 400m/s with 10 slots, 300m/s with 15 slots
    local max_speed = 60 - tier*2
    local new_turningSpeed = 2.1 - tier*2
    -- yes, speed also have to be set divided by ten, another bug?

    -- new speed shouldn't be higher than the one provided by engines
    local new_speed = math.min(initial_top_speed, max_speed)

    -- reset to zero
    entity.addMultiplier(entity, StatsBonuses.Velocity, 0.0)
    entity.addAbsoluteBias(entity, StatsBonuses.Velocity, new_speed)
    entity.addMultiplier(entity, StatsBonuses.turningSpeed, 0.0)
    entity.addAbsoluteBias(entity, StatsBonuses.turningSpeed, new_turningSpeed)
    -- as you might have noticed, these two methods demand entity as first argument - contrary to what the Documentation says. 3 bugs in 1 piece of code, how bout that!?

    print(entity.name .. " - " .. Engine(entity).maxVelocity * 2.5)
end

im sorry, what exactly does this do?

OK, here's what I've came up with so far:

 

File name: data/scripts/entity/init.lua

Code:

 

function traffic_police(entity)
    -- for some weird reason (bug?), maxVelocity is smaller that actual value,
    -- so it needs to be multiplied by 2.5; probably programmed by some murican...
    local initial_top_speed = Engine(entity).maxVelocity*2,5

    local tier = ShipSystem(entity).numSlots

    -- we start off at 600m/s max, and loose 20m/s for each system slot of the ship
    -- that means 500m/s max with 5 slots, 400m/s with 10 slots, 300m/s with 15 slots
    local max_speed = 60 - tier*2
    -- yes, speed also have to be set divided by ten, another bug?

    -- new speed shouldn't be higher than the one provided by engines
    local new_speed = math.min(initial_top_speed, max_speed)

    -- reset to zero
    entity.addMultiplier(entity, StatsBonuses.Velocity, 0.0)
    entity.addAbsoluteBias(entity, StatsBonuses.Velocity, new_speed)
    -- as you might have noticed, these two methods demand entity as first argument - contrary to what the Documentation says. 3 bugs in 1 piece of code, how bout that!?

    print(entity.name .. " - " .. Engine(entity).maxVelocity * 2.5)
end

if onServer() then
    local entity = Entity()
    if entity.isShip
        traffic_police(entity)
    end
end

 

 

 

This code is only applied when Entity is initialized, it's dirty and needs to be updated to re-apply after ship plan change, system install/remove, etc, but as a proof of concept it works.

I used this and it works like a charm but id also like to adapt this to rotation speeds, for say pitch and yaw.  Do you mind helping me with that?

 

[Rebalance ship speed & maneuverability (smaller = faster & more nimble)]

hell yea!

Im not sure how to vote on this but it is a resounding yes

Hello, this is exactly what ive been looking for in my own avorion, it seems you made some progress? Is there a released mod of any kind I can ask for? Or inquire as to how you went about doing it?
