Topic: Detecting Enemy Boarding Parties

[Rhaz]

I'm trying to detect when boarding parties are beamed onto a ship.  I've tried capturing the event with the monTransportedItem and monSpecialTransport, but neither seemed to be called when invaders are trying to capture the ship.  I've been digging through the API but am not seeing it.  

All suggestions welcome.

TIA,
Rhaz

Unfortunately not.   If you find something please holler, because this would be really helpful information.

About the closest I've been able to come up with is to periodically check the number of friendly marines, and warn the player when it's dropping.  (ugly)

Thanks Dave.  I wonder if I can detect this activity from the attacker's perspective (since all I really want to do it give the player a message).   Hmmm, something else to try I guess.
