I guess you mean ship script under script, but you must put this into a worldscript and the "whom" is what the player is scooped. Sorry I was falling asleep when I wrote this last night! Essentially I wrote a test script to see if the shipScoopedOther would enable me to run a scripted eve...

Even though the US also has different accents across different parts of the country, I don't think we really think about the same thing happening in other countries. I of course know Steve Irwin and Crocodile Dundee. And I think to most Americans, we think that that, is just what all Aussies must s...

Which brings up another interesting point. We all have accents, even us yanks. };] But I wonder how my characters sound, to you guys... If you're an Aussie, do Morgan and Spitfire speak with Aussie accents in your head? Or what if you're British, or...? And how does one write an Australian accent i...

That's the elegant way - the fast-and-dirty* way is when you hit masslock, hit the injectors and dive straight for the heart of the sun. The moment the tank begins to gulp, pull a one-eighty, hit hyperspace, and you're away, fully-tanked. Cabin temperature shouldn't be a problem - but nothing is gu...

Where it says function: anonymous I'm assuming it's referring to the function that created it... How about making it report the function it calls ? It has to know the name of the function it's calling even if the function itself is no longer valid... It's the function it calls. But not all function...

Not Solved, Warning still appears in my Logs. If it is MFD related the issue is most certainly not resolved at all. Still getting many examples like ; [script.javaScript.unrootedTimer]: ----- WARNING: Timer <OOJSTimer 0x2cc73d50>{nextTime: 3408.86, interval: 0.25, running, function: anonymous} is b...

In terms of core equipment, this seems a bit pointless as the standard Cobra III can have all equipment fitted, and a player choosing another ship would surely check out the ship before buying it and would therefore know if equipment can't be fitted (eg mil shields if you fly a Python). If you are ...

Well, as this chart from the Wiki shows, G4 is a particularly tough nut to crack.. there's only four government types in the entire chart, and the "medium" and "dangerous" systems heavily outnumber the "safe" ones. http://i407.photobucket.com/albums/pp159/ElYoda69/Ooli...

The only consolation I had was seeing for a brief moment on the comms screen (seconds before Atomic Annie blew up like a firework) was some pirate I'd locked onto saying "Help! I can't shake the Anaconda!"

Priceless!

Thanks for posting those three chapters so quickly. I hate cliffhangers where a main character's life hangs in the balance...

You did.

There's not a universal assumed role - each ship picks its own at random from the list when it's spawned (or copies its group leader's, if possible).

So is there any mechanism for an NPC to change it's view of your assumed role as it interacts with or observes the player?

While in principle that may sound like a good idea, in this application and given the one of the goals seems to be to make the OXP creation process as simple as possible that sounds far too fiddly... I would suggest the following: When extracting an OXP via the manager, it records checksums of the e...

I'm curious what it takes to change the assumed role? I'm guessing pirates won't suddenly lose interest in you if you fire on an asteroid....

The item that is dependable on some other equipment could be presented indented and under that equipment and it could not be bought, but you could see the description and price. Like this: Fuel Scoop Ore Processor I generally like the idea. I'm not sure about the indenting thing though... how would...
