[SCR] Turret On/Off Hotkey

Gazz · Post by **Gazz** » Tue, 18. Nov 08, 23:38

This script installs 1 hotkey.
Pressing the hotkey pauses all turrets on your ship for 5 minutes or until you change sectors.
Whatever comes first.
Pressing the hotkey again unlocks your turrets.
Starting a new turret script on one turret unlocks that particular turret.
If you have one of your ships targeted and this ship does have turrets, the pause/continue is applied to that ship instead of yours.
Some of you may now say that this already exists here.
The difference is that this script here works with all current and future turret scripts without any changes.
It also doesn't disable the turrets indefinitely. I sometimes forgot turning them back on and didn't even notice since I had switched to another ship.

Hi Gazz,
I just tested the script - and it does what it should do so far.
Unfortunately now my turrets don't do any damage!

Any Idea what's going on.
I copied the files over in the scripts directory.

Got the Universe best buy/sell, the space loot collector and the improved boarding scripts installed.

Thanks for your help!

EDIT::
Forget about it!
I deleted your files and started the game again --> turrets ok, damage ok
Then I copied your files once again --> turrets ok, damage ok, your script ok
Then I had to load a savegame --> again no damage done by turrets and guns to a Q (Springblossom equipped with XStarbursts)

I decided to eliminate the Q with my MAM's and landed on a Station.
After launching again - the turrets and guns did it again.
Strange thing!!!

I will keep an eye on it.

Ive got a crash problem with this script due likely one of these problems
either
1. i installed it wrong, to do it i droped the files into the script directory
or
2 my ship doesnt have turrets.
when the hotkey button is pressed the game locks and eventually throws one of those windows did something bad send an error report windows.

any thoughts?

EDIT
scratch that i got the crash after disabling i think it might be a low mem problem or something that jstu happened to occure when i hit the turret key

Where you see the script listed on that page "SCR: Turret On/Off Hotkey", there is also to the right a "Download: ZIP", with the ZIP in red and underlined. It's a link you can click to download the package.

If your Browser does not support graphical links - use the text link.

Right behind the graphical link that your browser obviously doesn't support.
I don't know which browser it is or why that is so. I can't change it anyway.

Worst case hit "Quote" on such a post and look for the actual URL in the source.

Ok i managed to see the link when i pressed "quote"
but you really should fix it somehow...
i mean... what internet browsers do you use?
both Fire Fox and Internet Explorer, 2 most popular browsers, dont support this link

That's not quite correct.

I can use both Firefox and MSIE and it works just fine and anyway - I wouldn't know what to fix with a plain BBC link.
Correct syntax. Correct URL. It works.

Maybe you need to sharpen your clicking skills. =P

Could someone please explain to a dimwit how to install this? There are no instructions, and unfortunately I'm inexperienced enough that I need them.
