Cleaning up redundant mission variables

Post by Wildeblood »

I'm embarrassed to ask this because it's such a simple question, but how do I delete mission variables set by an equipment OXP, when the equipment is removed? I.e. this will look familiar:

Code: Select all

this.playerBoughtEquipment = function(equipmentKey)
	{
	if(equipmentKey == "EQ_WHATEVER_REMOVAL")
		{
		player.ship.removeEquipment("EQ_WHATEVER");
		player.ship.removeEquipment("EQ_WHATEVER_REMOVAL");
		player.credits += (EquipmentInfo.infoForKey("EQ_WHATEVER").price * 0.1 * 0.6);
		}
	}
While EQ_WHATEVER was in use it stored a parameter in a missionVariable_whatever_param. What do I need to add to the code above to clean that up?
