According to Wiki=

function systemIDForName(systemName : String) : Integer
Returns the ID number of a system in the current galaxy based on the system name)

What happens if you pass the name of a system like "Inzaan", which there a two planets with the same name in G8

According to Wiki=

systemIDForName

function systemIDForName(systemName : String) : Integer
Returns the ID number of a system in the current galaxy based on the system name)

What happens if you pass the name of a system like "Inzaan", which there a two planets with the same name in G8

Why don't you just try it in the console:

Code: Select all

> System.systemIDForName("Inzaan")
22

Either it has returned one of them randomly, or the smaller number (the other Inzaan has ID 156).

Note that Inzaan is the only case of two planets with the same name in the same galaxy. So scripters should be aware of the exception.

It searches through the planet IDs from 0 to 255 and returns the first match. (It’s also laughably inefficient.) Docs updated.
