Setting conditions in shipyards: How far can it go?

[Lestradae]

Me again.

OK, I found that in the shipyard.plist one can set conditions if a given ship appears in a shipyard at all, for example

Code: Select all

<key>conditions</key>
                <array>
                        <string>galaxy_number greaterthan 1</string>
                </array>

So, my question is, could a condition also be set so that a) a certain ship only appears in a shipyard after a given mission (like, say, the Constrictor) or b) that a ship appears only if the player has achieved a certain rank (like for example the Galactic Navy sometimes giving pilots the mighty Condor to fly - if they have reached Elite rank).

Is this possible, and if, how would the command have to look like?

Thanks in advance

You can put pretty much all sorts of things there. Here's an example from an OXP I never finished:

Code: Select all

		<array> 
			<string>mission_wolfpack equal COMPLETED</string>
                        <string>dockedStationName_string equal Behemoth - Argus</string>
                </array>

Thanks for your reply!

What I need to know is how (in detail) can I specify these three conditions:

* Constrictor mission completed

* Player is "Clean"

* Player has reached a certain rank or amount of kills

... building on your example.

It would probably look something like

Code: Select all

<array> 
         <string>mission_constrictor equal COMPLETED</string> 
         <string>player_record equal CLEAN</string>
         <string>player_rank equal DANGEROUS</string>
</array>

How exactly do I do that?

And will that work in the shipyard?

Thanks for answer in advance

I can help with the second two:

Code: Select all

<array>
         <string>mission_constrictor equal COMPLETED</string>
         <string>legalStatus_number equal 0</string>
         <string>score_number greaterthan 512</string>
</array>

You can find most of this info on the wiki:

here and here for example.

I'd probably go for 'deadly' status myself, but hey, it's your oxp.

I don't actually know the name of the constrictor mission variable, and what it's set to on completion, but I'm sure other people will know....

edit: PS About contacting Charlie. As I said elsewhere, a message has been sent to Charlie, he should read it in due time, and I'm sure he'll answer as soon as he can

[Cmdr. Maegil]

Code: Select all

<string>player_rank equal DANGEROUS</string>

That wouldn't allow an ELITE pilot to be eligible any more than a Harmless one, would it?... Try checking the kills instead.

EDIT: too late...

[JensAyton]

<string>score_number greaterthan 512</string>

That should be 511.

[Kaks]

That should be 511.

Err, exactly!

Thanks, all of you, for the information

One last question:

What are the mission codes for the Constrictor & Thargoid plan missions?

They will be the conditions that unlock two ships from the Realistic Shipyards ... one the Constrictor, and the other ... you`ll see

Cheers

PS: Are

Code: Select all

<string>thargoid_plans_debrief equal COMPLETED</string>
<string>constrictor_hunt_debrief equal COMPLETED</string>
