spawning a cargo container with random goods

Hello all,
I found this line in a script file of an oxp that I have installed, I think it is the falcon and kestrel one.
Code: Select all
this.ship.spawn("explosive_shrapnel", 6);
Instead I would like it to spawn a cargo container with a random content. I just lack the knowledge to write the correct code, or even where to look.
is there a one line way to do this like with the shrapnel ? I have a destroyable cargo bay subentitiy on the Cobra MK 3 that I would like to spawn some cargo when destroyed.
Adding "likely_cargo" to the shipdata.plist entry of the subentity didn't seem to work.

Do you mean that you want to write a shipscript that has a
this.shipDied function containing something like this:
Code: Select all
system.addShips("cargopod", 1, this.ship.position, 0);
Totally untested.

Yes something like that, only not when the ship dies, but only when the subentity on that ship does.
Here is the javacript that I used from Eric's version of Griff's Sidewinder with the destroyable entities:
It works great, but I would like to add some funtionality to it:
Code: Select all
this.name = "hpc_co3_subent";
this.author = "griff";
this.copyright = "� 2008 griff.";
this.version = "1.01";
this.shipDied = function ()

The shrapnel at that location does its work, but I don't want to use the shrapnel, just some cargo pods instead. If you have an oxp that demonstrates what you are saying, I will definitely have a look.
I am just trying to copy paste some scripts together, to get full functionality, needless to say that my trial and error way of doing this is very time consuming. I wish my modeling and javascript knowledge were more balanced.

Ok. If the script already works, then just change "explosive_shrapnel" to "cargopod" and it should do the trick. And if you just want one cargopod, then change that 6 to 1.
