Just some requests to improve the handling of cargo in scripts:

Changes to existing methods:

Code: Select all

awardSpecialCargo: <amount> <description of cargo>

Awards the specified amount of the specified cargo if it exists in descriptions.plist. This method would require some way to specify the weight of the special cargo.


New methods:

Code: Select all

removeSpecialCargo: <amount> <description of cargo>

Removes the specified amount of the specified special cargo from the players hold. <amount> can include all.

Code: Select all

Code: Select all

testForSpecialCargo: <description of cargo>

Returns a value indicating the amount of the named cargo in the player's cargo hold.
