the question about <set_owner> Label usage problems

[hxsgame]

when I was used the label of <set_owner object faction> to change the station's faction, there are some strange situation, that bothers me a lot. So I hope to get help.

The target station's faction has changed, Production and shipbuilding can also proceed normally.

But the station no more attacks, when attacked also only once warning , no counterattack, no release of defense drones, no response at all...

Also, some right-click menu commands are ineffective for these stations.

I don't know what the problem is. Do the station's defenses need to be set up separately?

Please help

There are scripts running on entities (NPCs and/or computers) accociated with a station. Those scripts manage the trade and defense. I think this is what causes the problems you have.

Thank you so much for your advice, The problem was really about entitys.

The mod code I used removed all of the default control_entitys of the the station. And then added new ones, but the added ones have no effect on defense.

This change seems irreversible, and I have yet to figure out how to restore the defensive behavior by adding entities.

But I have been able to avoid the occurrence more of such problems. thanks for your help again

If the station is your own then just hire new manager, engineer and defense officer . Otherwise I know of two ways to run the corresponding scripts on them: Either via

Code: Select all

<assign_control_entity object="insert station here" actor="insert npc here" post="controlpost.X" transfer="true" />

where X is manager, engineer or defense, or via

Code: Select all

 <start_script object="insert NPC here"" name="'insert script here'"/>

where the corresponding scripts are trade.station, engineer_ai and fight.attack.object.station.
