Summary0001699: Ships can be docked but not undocked from Gunships
DescriptionA ship like a fighter can be initially docked to a ship with the gunship flag but cannot be given an order to undock in an event. Works for other ship classes but not for gunships.
Additional InformationRunning TBP 3.6.9 inferno build of FRED but also tested with a new 3.6.10 inferno build. 2 ships in the attached mission have the problem. One is the Vree ship the other a Firehawk. Event Surprise is where I try to undock them.
TagsNo tags attached.

Have you assigned another ship type in addition to the gunship type for these ships? Or do they only have the 'gunship' flag?

I'm using the core tables with no modifcations. They both have only the "gunship" and "in tech database" flags.

I'll take a look at the hard coded options and try to see if there would be something preventing this..

Well... couldnt see anything in the code about it so i checked the TBP tables.

In objecttypes.tbl the 'gunship' lacks "dock" and "undock" from the '+Valid goals:' list. That might be the reason.

I guess this raises the question of weather a ship that can't dock should be allowed to be initially docked then.

So.. can you test if for example adding those flags would solve the issue?

The other thing... i doubt it can be prevented if it has been used already (not sure about it) but perhaps it could use some sort of popup warning in fred.

If I add those to the table then I can use the ai-undock on the gunships in FRED. I never got far enough to have a mission that could actually be tested to see if the undocking works in game.

Wanderer solved it. Initially docked ships are completely unrelated to ships that can dock or undock via AI goals.
