Ever notice how cranking the power level up to 125%+ has no negative effects on your ship? Well not anymore!
*cough*
As long as someone helps me with a couple of little scripting problems i'm hving since i'm still completely new too this...
1.) How do i get a script to loop? I've tried a couple diffrent methods and gotten absolutely nowere.
2.) I can't for the life of me get this thing to do basic math such as subtracting this and multiplying this to get a damage per script repeatal rate thingy. Anyone know why?

um, not to discourage you, but this has been done before, of sorts, the advanced power mod allows you to crank weapons and stuff to up too 200%, but weapons fired above 150% will damage themselves, though maybe you could look there for starters

I thought i rembered something like that. (I just couldn't rember were. lol.) But in any event it should be applied to the other systems too so i will continue on my little project thanks. I would appreciate any help though.

What kind of loop do you need?

Code:

while <true>:

Code:

for i in <range(#) - list, tuple >:

You can even hack a do while loop:

Code:

while 1:   if not <true>:     break

Please note that things enclosed with < > aren't real things, but indicators.

For example, <true> means anything not 0 or None and in the for loop there are several things you can do.


You need to give us some more information on what you exactly want, because there are a lot of things in Python.

Also, I support Imperial_Destroyer's suggestion of looking that mod up, I believe it also damages other things when they are pushed beyond 150%.
