Have you tried with a non-template ship too? I just checked it myself - entry with "wavefront" is displayed, with template - no.
If this still does not work, maybe something useful is in the logs?

The data key in shipdata.plist of this ship.

ship = "cobra3-trader";

I vaguely remember reading somewhere about some function/method/Jedi-mind-trick that boldly declares that "YOU HAVE A DEV VER OF THIS ADD-ON INSTALLED" (or something to that effect) in the log file (I think it was the log file). If you know what I'm talking about, I'd appreciate if you could point me to it.

Hello. This is likely a simple question for somebody here...

I want to test if the player's scanner is empty or not. i.e. test whether anything else is within that range but WITHOUT using masslock as a check for the same.

player.ship.scannerRange with some sort of distance to nearest object test???

Also, by player.ship.scannerRange, did you mean player.ship.checkScanner?

Are there any lollipops on the player scanner right now?
If the answer is no then please do the following...

So I'm looking for a very simple true/false test rather than details.

var shpsNear = player.ship.checkScanner ()
if (shpsNear.length === 0) {…}

Give this a shot:

Code: Select all

var shpsNear = player.ship.checkScanner ()
if (shpsNear.length === 0) {…}

ooh useful! - I believe I'll add that facility to ET. Seeing .length there, one assumes it's an array? So listing out shipsNear in a loop will presumably display all vessels and stations(?) within scanner range?

Question: is it possible to access a variable from another OXP's world-script?

If so, what is the syntax for doing this? (could someone perhaps give me an example?)
