Original Request

I've got a multi part question about coding thats been bugging me for a while. What I had originally wanted to do was create a special weapon for most fighters to let them fire off missiles or torpedoes every minute or so. Thats done, but I also wanted to have a few planets that would grant additional bonuses to fighters. Namely I want to have a bonus that changes the projectile the missile ability fires(though that info is in the hardpoints file so more like change the hardpoint) from conc missiles and torpedoes to their advanced variants (I considered the permanent weapon swap for the merc squads disruptor upgrade, but not sure how to make a black market item a planet bonus). And second I want to have a planet or 2 that actually ADD/enable an ability(ECM ability based on crusader laser defense). No luck so far with either.

1- Is it possible to do either of those things with regular planet bonuses, or will I have to make 2 versions of the fighters, 1 with and 1 without changes, and use events to trigger the change?

2 - if the latter is the case, I assume I need to make separate events for all sides that only affects their fighters, so as to avoid capturing the planet as rebels and giving the same bonuses to empire and consortium?

3 - Canl the change affect fighters already built, replacing them with the new version, or will it only affect the ones built from that point on?

4 - now the tricky one. I would ideally like to have 2-3 planets that would offer these benefits, and obviously if the planet is lost, I want the abilities gone too. But if this is done through events, and I have 2 of said planets, and I lose one, will it revert the fighters to their original form, even though I still have the other planet? Can the event be made to be triggered by any of the planets, but only revert the fighters if you lose ALL of them?



Solution:


Code:
<Event Name="SET_FLAG_Special_Planet_Count">        <!-- set up the counter -->
<Event_Type>STORY_TRIGGER</Event_Type>
<Reward_Type>SET_FLAG</Reward_Type>
<Reward_Param1>Special_Planet_Count</Reward_Param1>
<Reward_Param2>0</Reward_Param2>                  <!-- if your faction already owns one or more of the planets from the start change 0 to that number -->
<Prereq>Universal_Story_Start</Prereq>
</Event>


<Event Name="STORY_FLAG_SPC_GREATER_THAN_0">
