non item criteria

Mon Dec 24, 2007 1:55 am

Does anyone know what the format for non item criteria is? Things like station criteria and sysFindObject criteria?

one extra question how does level Curve effect the item tables precisely?

From what I've seen, for example, if you set an item table to level 5 items with a level curve of 2, there's a chance that you could get items from level 3 through 7.

Not sure about the first question, maybe George will answer that.

Are you asking about 'locationCriteria'?

locationCriteria is part of it (like what is the difference between + and ++ and what is the outer system)
stationCriteria is another part (what does ! mean)
if you look at the uses of sysFindObject you will see other things too.

Check out transcendence.xml at the top of the Systems section-



+, ++, -, --, and also * and ! can be used with the listed attributes.

! means never or not, as in !primary to never choose a station with the 'primary' attribute. * means any, I think, as in *enemy to choose anything with enemy attribute

+planetary means twice as likely to appear near planetary.

cool thanks now all that is needed is the sysFindObject criteria.

Astroids among astroids? + ++ - -? oh so locations? Where verthing is placd?

Betelgeuse: IS this wahat you were asking me about?

that list tells me everything I need to know on location criteria Ttech.

Now all I need is to find how what the sysFindObject criteria is. (would be very useful for filtering stations and ships)

Not sure what criteria you're looking for, but hopefully this bit may help a little;

Code: Select all

(sysFindObject gSource "sEN:20;")

Naturally, the gSource is where the code is being executed from, be it a station, ship or player etc... The "sEN:20;" acts like a parameter distance...the higher the number (20 in this example) the greater the parameter to find the object, in this case.

aye aye. Captain.

(sysFindObject source filter) -> list of objects

* G -> Stargates only
* s -> Include ships
* t -> Include stations (including planets)
* T -> Include structure-scale stations
* T:xyz -> Include stations with attribute 'xyz'
* A -> Active objects only (i.e., objects that can attack)
* B:xyz -> Only objects with attribute 'xyz'
* D:xyz -> Only objects with data 'xyz'
* E -> Enemy objects only
* F -> Friendly objects only
* M -> Manufactured objects only (i.e., no planets or asteroids)
* N -> Return only the nearest object to the source
* N:nn -> Return only objects within nn light-seconds
* O:escort -> Ships ordered to escort source
* R:nn -> Return only objects greater than nn light-seconds away

I don't remember where I found it, but it isn't mine.

what FAD posted ("sEN:20;") means "enemy ships wihin 20 light-seconds", if I'm correct.
