EffectGroup activation if fleet moved?

[banduri]

Hi All

How do I activate effects if a fleet moved between two systems? The jumpdistance between the two systems is one.

Code: Select all

activation = Not Stationary

seems not to work for me since the UU-distance between the two systems is lower then the speed of the ship. I assume the same holds true for

Code: Select all

activation = Not InSystem id = Source.PreviousSystemID

. Did I miss something?

I don't think there's anything suitable exposed. The game does track whether a particular fleet arrived in its system on the current turn, but I don't think there's a way to test for that in FOCS.

Wouldn't be too difficult to add, though... I'd probably change it to track the number of the turn a fleet has arrived, and expose that, and rework the Fleet::ArrivedThisTurn() function accordingly... Or maybe do the same for ships, so an effect could be made to depend on how long a ship has been at a particular location (which doesn't make sense to do through fleets since ships can be moved between fleets)

This would be nice )

Agreed, I've always been confused by the stationary script as it doesn't do what I expected, and I really want to have some of the damage control effects only work if the ship has stayed still for at least a turn.
