Let's say we have a station. It is in another system so (objIsEnemy) won't work, but we have its sovereign. Is there a function to check if that sovereign is hostile to the sovereign of another object, say the player?
If not, is there any other data that could be used to check if it is hostile? (but it is still not in the same system, else I might as well just use objIsEnemy, or perhaps objIsAngryAt)
Determin hostility by comparing sovereigns?
What you could do for a workaround is spawn a ship with the sov you want and then use objIsEnemy and then destroy the ship. I agree that a new function (sovGetDispostion sov1 sov2) would be nice to have. Perhaps add it to the tracker and George may consider adding it.

But to do that you'd stil need to know the sov ahead of time; thus you can't simply pull it from the object and then spawn the dummy; you'd have to have pre-recorded it.

I think Bobby asked what to do if you had the sovereign, but not the object around. (sovGetDisposition sov1 sov2) would be a great addition.
At this point I would do what Prophet recommends. Make a function local to your mod that mimics sovGetDisposition but uses ship spawning to find the disposition, and swap it out with the real one if we get George to add it in.

I'm waiting for george to respond to more PM's.

Spawning dozens or hundreds of ships (one for every station in the system, and in past systems) every time I want to display something just seems wrong.
What I think i'll do is use objIsEnemy on stations in the system to build up and maintain a list of hostile sovereigns, then check the recorded station sovereign against that.

BTW: I thought sovGetDisposition was already implemented. Doesn't it do what you guys are looking for?

(sovGetDisposition sovereignID targetSovereignID) -> disposition of sovereign to target
(sovSetDisposition sovereignID targetSovereignID disposition)
Bobby, sorry, we have been a bit lazy with the Xelerus function list.
You can find the unfiltered function list for 1.02 here:

we also have sovSetDisposition on the wiki (easy to reach from the main function Index http://wiki.neurohack.com/transcendence ... ions/index)
