quest setup

[clomaka]

Here's my goal:
-this new race I'm makeing is set to neutral when you encounter them (working).
-have a stranded fighter that you can pick up and add to your flotilla (working).
-encounters with this race while you have the stranded fighter are friendly (working, mostly).
-upon encountering this race's homeworld, if you have the stranded fighter, they're friendly, if not, then they attack. (kinda not really working).

here's what's not quite working right:
-encounters while with the stranded fighter are friendly, but only the first one displays the popup (i want them all to give a popup)
-encounters with the homeworld MUST have a dialogue popup when you reach them, but i get nothing:< i've tried substituting the 'encounter' with 'preenc' but that breaks things.

Any suggestions would be great. i've attached the quest file for you to look at as well.

Thanks, and Happy Holidays!

I think 'encounter' only happens if the race is non-friendly. It only triggers works when there's going to be a radar screen.

That would explain why you're only getting the encounter the first time you meet them with a fighter - after that they turn friendly, and never again go to radar. It's probably something similar for the homeworld issue you're having as well.
