I am particularly enamoured of the 'shield effects' OXZ
What is the OXZ you're referring to?

Custom Shields. Hit an NPC and the shields flash as they 'absorb' the laser fire. Looks fantastic!

I've noticed a problem - pretty much cosmetic - when looking at my logs. It's errors of this type:

[script.javaScript.exception.unexpectedType]: ***** JavaScript exception (customshields 0.83): TypeError: player.ship.position is undefined

I imagine they are generated when they player is docked or has launched the escape pod.

What is needed, I think, is - within the functions in the script that interrogate player.ship.position, something like this:

Code: Select all

if (player.ship.isValid && player.ship.position) { <your code here>
}
It's not necessary to check whether player.ship exists at all, because it always does.
