Spawing entities on stars on the galaxy map for wormhole radius?

[Pancakelord]

So as part of the wormhole mod i'm working on, i am trying to find a way to spawn some kind of radial ring to plot out the systems the WH network will cover. But i've never really touched 3d entities or such things. For reference this gold ring is what I'm trying to recreate:

I see that it's definitely possible to spawn entities on the galaxy map via console. here's my own entity i've made, which needs tweaking to be thinner and less bright (as I literally haven't been able to find the jumpdrive ring DDS file anywhere in the art folders? does anyone know where it is saved?)

My plan is to see if it is possible to spawn / cull these rings via create_ambient_object and destroy_ambient_object either every other month, or whenever a specific megastructure type (the bypasses) are completed, to update the Galaxy map view. All create_ambient_object events seem to be handled at the solar level, but I cant see anything obvious that stops them working on the galactic level.

I've been looking at some example events for this, below; my question is this.

1. Is there any way to scope to the galaxy and set a star as the point around which an ambient object will spawn?
   • The console uses the cursor position, but I will want the event to take the X Y coordinates of the star holding the wormhole station.

Have it spawning over the homeworld no problem as an ambient object now, still not found any scopes that work on the galaxy map to fetch the coordinates of a star system..

I think those might be drawn via a shader, so they look crisper. Can't tell you how or where, though

I think I found a way to do it a little while ago, its in my notes somewhere, though I've been too busy to do much modding/testing for this lately.
