My suggestion is

Code: Select all

if (Math.random() < 0.1) 

Because it removes unnecessary calculations, while still being clear what percentage is being checked, in this case a 10% chance. To make it 50% just change 0.1 to 0.5.

- - (Is it possible to / How can i) get the number of installed pieces in a script?

	var data = player.ship.equipmentStatus("EQ_FUEL_STORAGE", true);
	log(this.name, "Number of EQ_FUEL_STORAGE units OK: " + data["EQUIPMENT_OK"]);
	log(this.name, "Number of EQ_FUEL_STORAGE units Damaged: " + data["EQUIPMENT_DAMAGED"]);

- - Is it possible the set a maximum of pieces for a a ship? ( maybe in shipdata.plist )

this.playerBoughtEquipment = function(equipmentKey, paid) {
	if (equipmentKey == "EQ_FUEL_STORAGE") {
		var data = player.ship.equipmentStatus("EQ_FUEL_STORAGE", true);
		// make the limit 10 units
		if (data["EQUIPMENT_OK"] + data["EQUIPMENT_DAMAGED"] > 10) {
			// remove the item
			player.ship.removeEquipment("EQ_FUEL_STORAGE");
			// refund the player
			player.credits += paid;
		}
	}
}

only one small correction
in the second script snip i had to replace

player.credits += paid;
---with
player.credits += (paid / 10);

1) The first entry is an integer that determines the technical level from which the equipment can be bought. A level of 99 has a special meaning. Only this value can be changed by script. Please note that the number displayed on the system data screen is one higher than the system's tech level, so to make equipment available at a displayed TL:10 and above in game, enter 9 here

[oxp-standards.deprecated]: TL99 is deprecated for EQ_.......

What should i use instead of "99" to make EQ not buyable?

I have not found any info -- neither in the wiki, nor in the forum.

next question about equipment.plist

to make "requires (equipment_a AND equipment_b)"
i have made this

Code: Select all

"requires_equipment" = "EQ_A";
"requires_any_equipment" = ("EQ_B");

does anybody now a better way?

cheers

Hi montana

when i set
"available_to_all" = no
i can´t install that via script/player.ship.awardEquipment

with "99" and "= yes" it works as i want

But changing (1, 2) to (1) doesn't actually mean I reduce it to 1 ship..?
