Use this if you want the player to center over a part of the ship that is not the center point. style Refers to a visual ship style set as defined in hull_styles.json viewOffset The relative view offset as Cartesian coordinates relative to the defined Center of the ship rotated 90 degrees clockwise. The file path is relative to the base /starsector-core/ folder for vanilla content or the mod's base folder. spriteName The file path to the sprite for this ship, as a png file. Where the shield can actually collide with objects is defined by the collisionRadius. shieldRadius The radius of the visual shield in pixels, relative to the defined shieldCenter.

Possible sizes are FIGHTER, FRIGATE, DESTROYER, CRUISER, CAPITAL_SHIP shieldCenter The center point of the shield as Cartesian coordinates relative to the defined Center of the ship rotated 90 degrees clockwise. This is what links these pieces of data together, not the filename of the. hullId The unique hullId specified in the corresponding ship_data.csv entry. Setting this bigger or smaller than the actual canvas dimensions will cause the sprite to stretch or shrink to fit in-game.

height The maximum height of the sprite canvas in pixels. This has both visual & gameplay effects, as plume width is part of the engine HP calculations. Refers to a visual engine style set as defined in engine_styles.json The location of engine as Cartesian coordinates relative to the defined Center of the ship rotated 90 degrees clockwise. This has both visual & gameplay effects, as plume length is part of the engine HP calculations. NOTE: contrailSize 128 is a special magic hardcoded number that will define this engine as part of a Maneuvering Jets ship system. The size of the visual particle effects trailing the engine plume, in pixels. Please do note that GUI ship editors rotate the sprite 90 degree clockwise, so 180 degrees points relative 'down' which is to the left. The angle in degrees that the engine plume will face, relative to the top of the sprite. Number engineSlots An array of engines with each engine defined by an array of values. Ship death explosion radius is also based on this, being collision radius + 200. Collisions cannot occur outside this radius so it is a good idea to have the collision radius fully enclose the shield & bounds. This defines the boundary within which the game engine starts (expensively) checking for collisions with the ship's shield or bounds. collisionRadius The radius of the collision circle in pixels, relative to the defined Center. It is also the pivot point when the ship turns. The defined center point is the relative reference point for the bounds, collisionRadius, engineSlots, shieldCenter, shieldRadius, viewOffset & weaponSlots. Please do note that this is not necessarily the literal center but that it is a really good idea. center The defined center of the ship, as a set of Cartesian coordinates relative to the most bottom left pixel of the sprite. builtInWings An optional array of wingIds that are build into the base ship. builtInMods An optional array of hullmod IDs that are build into the base ship. Excessive amounts of points can be a performance issue. It is generally better to have it a little inside the ship hull rather than outside. The polygon can be concave or convex and non-polygon shapes cause undefined behaviour. The points of the polygon are an array of Cartesian coordinates relative to the defined Center of the ship rotated 90 degrees clockwise. Please see Fighter in the topics wiki for general info.'spriteName': 'graphics/ships/hound/hound_base.png',Įlements bounds The collision bounds of the ship hull as defined by a polygon. You will choose between fighters based on damage type, speed, engagement range, and rate of replacement. They come in various forms, including interceptors, bombers, heavy fighters, assault fighters and support fighters. Fighters are small ships that travel in groups from two to six, with an exception of a Cobra Bomber, what travels alone.
