You can also create this array on spawning

Code: Select all

this.myShips = system.addShips("blah", count, position, radius);

Check if the ship is/ships are there by creating a dump (pause and press 0) and check the log. If it's not there check the roles and the values of count, position and radius.

system.shipsWithRole("blah")

I inferred from the documentation that this is possible, but on grepping my entire AddOns directory I can only see examples of its use from within the same OXP. Can anyone put me straight on this? I was under the impression that the system object is shared, and all OXPs should see the same view . . . . ?

 debug console

I’m with Svengali on this one; the most likely explanations are that you’re calling shipsWithRole() before the other OXP has actually added anything, or that you’re misspelling the role. That the function works can easily be verified by typing system.shipsWithRole("trader") in the  debug console.

I'm currently using shipExitedWitchspace to allow for other OXPs to do their stuff first in eg. shipWillExitWitchspace . . . not brilliant - is there a better way?

Is there any existing code I can refer to? Otherwise, it's back to the drawing board . . . Thanks, Ian.

this.shipExitedWitchspace = function ()
{
    // use a delay to allow all other oxp's to add their stuff before we start counting hermits.
    this.buoyTimer = new Timer(this, this.addBuoys, 0.90);
}

BTW http://jens.ayton.se/oolite/files/debug-oxp-1.75.1.zip says it is incompatible with Oolite 1.75.1 . . . . !

For the timer is any value > 0 good enough.

Fixed, download it again.

The easiest way is using a timer, like in rockHermitLocator.oxp:

Code: Select all

this.shipExitedWitchspace = function ()
{
    // use a delay to allow all other oxp's to add their stuff before we start counting hermits.
    this.buoyTimer = new Timer(this, this.addBuoys, 0.90);
}

I notice the function takes no parameters; my function will need to, is this supported, or will I need to use "this" to pass them?

this.choice = function(choice)
	{
	switch(choice)
		{
		case "IRONHIDE_1_ACCEPT":
			{
			player.credits -= missionVariables.ironHide_cost;
			missionVariables.ironHide_percentage = 100;
			break;
			}

		case "IRONHIDE_1_RENOVATION_ACCEPT":
			{
			player.credits -= missionVariables.ironHide_cost;
			missionVariables.ironHide_percentage = 100;
			break;
			}	
		case "IRONHIDE_2_REJECT":
			{
			break;
			}
		}
	}

You can use parameters in your own functions, here's an example from IronHide oxp by thargoid :
