system.waypoints not working? (Resolved)

[phkb]

I'm not sure if this is me or not, but when I run this code:

Code: Select all

system.setWaypoint(
	this.name, player.ship.position, player.ship.orientation,
	{size:50, beaconCode:"T", beaconLabel:"Test"}
);
player.consoleMessage("Waypoints in system: " + system.waypoints.length, 10);

I'm expecting to see "Waypoints in system: 1" appear on the console. But instead I get "Waypoints in system: undefined".

Am I doing something wrong, or is there a problem with the system.waypoints array?

system.waypoints is a dictionary, not an array. So trying to get the length directly will lead to error. What you can do instead is get the array of keys in the waypoints dictionary and count its elements.

Code: Select all

Object.keys(system.waypoints).length

will give you the correct result.
