[Solved] Help With Debug Console

I'm trying to spawn a ship outside the Station, quite a way outside the Station because it is huge (behemoth size). Problem is, I don't seem to be giving the correct commands. Here is what I'm putting into the console,
Code: Select all
:spawn shipMT1012Carrier-base-for-others
I also tried,
Code: Select all
:spawn MT1012Carrier-base-for-others
The MT1012Carrier-base-for-others is what I have in shipdata.plist as the "Unique Role". It won't spawn the ship, though. I can get the ship to appear on screen when docked, spinning like any other ship by putting in,
Code: Select all
mission.runScreen({model: 'MT1012Carrier-base-for-others'})
That works fine, but I would really like to spawn it outside the Station, so I can check on the dock, and just generally inspect it. Any clues?

Try
Code: Select all
system.addShips("MT1012Carrier-base-for-others",1,player.ship.position.add([10000,0,0]));
You could simply use underscores instead of the minus (then you can use the :spawn macro again) and a eaaier to remember name will help too, e.g. "Mandoman_BaseCarrier_MT1012".
Edit: demysthified the missing bracket

Isn't that a Java Script command? I tried it, and the Debug Console said,
Code: Select all
Exception: TypeError.system.addships is not a funtion
It seems like I've seen what you gave me there in a test ship Java Script.

You have a case sensitivity error there. You typed
system.addships in the console when it should be
system.add[b][size=150]S[/size][/b]hips, as provided by Svengali.

Okay, I tried that, changing the "s" to "S" in the word "Ship", but I still get the same error message as I posted above. One thing I noticed about that command is the "(" before
, doesn't seem to have a corresponding ")" anywhere in the command line. I don't know where it would go if that is the case, though.

Yep. The console is there to be used for JS commands. The macros (like :spawn) are just a convenient way to use JS.
*sigh* Have added the missing bracket.

Svengali, I didn't mean to criticize in any way. I really DON'T know where the bracket should go. I'm sorry, but for some reason (most likely stupidity) js seems to be beyond me.

No worries, mandoman. It was my fault. I should have tested it before posting useless stuff.

Good, that worked perfectly. Thanks very much, Svengali.
