Function; SobGroup_CreateShip

SobGroup_CreateShip(<target_group>, <ship_type>)

Description

Creates a ship_type in target_group.

The ship will exit the shiphold or hyperspace in, depending on its normal build behavior, as set in ship tuning. Ships with buildBatch will come in thier usual squad sizes.

💡 Importantly, this function only works if target_group contains a ship with a shiphold. In the case where a shiphold is present, but can't accomodate the type of ship(s) being spawned, the ship will simply appear instantly in the next available default parade position.

Note: if the sobgroup doesn't contain a builder, use SobGroup_SpawnNewShipInSobGroup instead.

Example

SobGroup_CreateShip("Player_Ships0", "vgr_lasercorvette")

This would add a Vaygr Laser corvette to the first player in the game (player 0).
