ShipVisual

v1.4.8

Holds sail colors, a pattern seed, and a health fraction for a ship shown outside a battle. No prefab stores the script. The campaign and port screens add it when they build a visual ship.

Find placed ones in the Scene panel with s:ShipVisual. See Filter.

Where you put it

Do not place this script on a mission ship. The visual factory instantiates a ship prefab with the ship_visual_only filter and adds this script to the root.

What you set

The only public field is SailColors. No prefab writes it. The factory overwrites it after adding the script.

Panel field	What to do with it
SailColors	Two colors for the sails. The field starts as white and white. The factory replaces both from the ship's sail colors.

Seed, custom sail pattern, and health are set by the factory. They are not panel fields.

What it does

CreateVisualShip adds the script, then sets the seed, SailColors, and health (hit points divided by max hit points). Meshes tagged faction_color get the same two colors. The campaign copy also stores a custom sail pattern id. Sail visuals on that entity read SailColors for the sail meshes.

Where it lives

Managed script. Added in code onto whatever ship prefab the visual factory instantiates. No scene file stores it.

Examples

No scene file and no prefab stores this script.

Battle visual. The factory instantiates the ship's prefab, adds ShipVisual, and sets the seed, both sail colors, and the health fraction.

Campaign visual. The cached ship entity already has ShipVisual. The campaign path sets the seed, the custom sail pattern id, and both sail colors.
