I'd like to avoid tossing any garbage into the global space if it's at all possible...

I'm reluctant to do it, but here's what I'm thinking:

Code: Select all

// ...in the worldScript (outside of any function...)
if(!OXP){var OXP = {};} //  creates an "OXP" object in the global space 
OXP.JEM = {}; // A "JEM" object as a property of "OXP", claiming a chunk of the OXP object for myself (JEM -- my initials).
OXP.JEM.RLE = {};  // An "RLE" object to provide a home for everything "Real-life Economics"-related...
// ... then in the market script (or whatever other script to which I need a reference)
OXP.JEM.RLE.someCleverlyNamedProperty = this;

I can then refer to that script from any other script... as can anyone else from any script in any OXP...

Anybody else who wants a piece of the action can attach their own JEM-equivalent object to "OXP" and have at it!

One little object in the global space isn't really such a big deal, right?

worldScripts.marketDefs.RLE.CleverlyNamedProperty = this;

You don't need a global object for that, just use a normal world script:-

Code: Select all

worldScripts.marketDefs.RLE.CleverlyNamedProperty = this;

worldScripts.marketDefs.RLE.CleverlyNamedProperty

Phasted has asked if something can be done, and I've answered honestly that I believe not, but would be pleased if I were wrong.

I'm wracking my brains and coming up empty...

I'm still having fun with screen backgrounds, and my next question is, can I switch off the rotating planet model on the F7 screen?

Not easily. I experimented with forcing the system to be a nova system (just temporarily), which would then allow you to manipulate the "system_data_nova" screen backgrounds id, but that was a bust. The nova settings for a system are read-only...

Methinks, you do like to do things the hard way. If there's no "official" way to switch off the planet model, I would have tried experimenting with the planet's texture, attempting to make it transparent, or the planet's radius, trying to make it imperceptibly small, before I thought to mess about with the nova settings. Have you ever tried those approaches?

Wildeblood wrote: ↑Sat Apr 12, 2025 2:02 am

So, anyway... it turns out that setting radius: null completely suppresses the planet's image on F7, and doesn't leave any rude messages in Latest.log.

Sorry, this is in the Planetinfo.plist?

Code: Select all

if (System.infoForSystem(galaxyNumber, player.ship.targetSystem).ID < 86) {
        ...first code thing
	}
	else {
		if (System.infoForSystem(galaxyNumber, player.ship.targetSystem).ID < 171) {	
		...second
		}
		else {	
			...third
			}
		}		

Another cry for help...

Only the third of these options is ever firing.

Lave, for example, is ID #7 and so should trigger the first but it triggers the third instead
It works if I swap ID for economy for example (with different numbers of course).

That it triggers at all suggest that my use of '.ID' is ok but why no discrimination upon calling the value (of ID)?

Any advice please?

System.infoForSystem returns a dictionary from planetinfo.plist, not a System object. The dictionary does not have an ID property, so the result is undefined. Is undefined lesser than 86? JS thinks not. Is undefined lesser than 171? Same, so the third branch is being executed.

Why are you even trying to get an ID through the system information if you already have one? You can just use it like this:

Code: Select all

if (player.ship.targetSystem < 86) {
        ...first code thing
}
else {
	if (player.ship.targetSystem < 171) {	
		...second
	}
	else {	
		...third
	}
}

the property sought is actually found here:

System.infoForSystem(galaxyNumber, player.ship.targetSystem).systemID
