Need help with my system topology

Is that needed at all? it seems that it tells the game where to send the player when they go through the gate.

Are you asking if it is needed in the vanilla game or in your mod?

If you mean in vanilla, the answer is yes. If you mean in your mod, then the answer is most likely no...

You can always use the good old technique. Remove it (comment it), run it, test it. If it still works, then it is probably not required. :)

Okay thanks.

I've been trying to get this to work for about a week and I still can't get it. I've tried everything I can think of, but I always get a horrible error message saying it cannot create the stargate. I have this for the code:

Code: Select all

<Events>
<OnGlobalTopologyCreated>
(block (gateway)

; Pick a random system in space to have a gateway to WaterLoo
(setq gateway
(random
(filter (sysGetNodes) theNode
(and (sysHasAttribute theNode 'newBeyond) (geq (sysGetLevel theNode) 1))
)
)
)

(if gateway
(block Nil
(typSetGlobalData &svCommonwealth; "WaterLooGateway" gateway)
(sysAddStargateTopology gateway "WaterLooGateway" "WaterLoo" "WaterLooGateway")
(sysCreateStargate &stStargate; (sysVectorRandom Nil 0 0 "t") "WaterLooGateway" "WaterLoo" "WaterLooGateway")
)
)
)
</OnGlobalTopologyCreated>

<OnGlobalSystemCreated>
(if (eq (sysGetNode) (typGetGlobalData &svCommonwealth; "WaterLooGateway"))
(block Nil

; Create a stargate in deep space away from everything
(sysCreateStargate
&stStargate;
(sysVectorRandom Nil 0 0 "t")
"WaterLooGateway"
"WaterLoo"
"WaterLooGateway"
)
)
)
</OnGlobalSystemCreated>
</Events>  

I have the nodes as:

Code: Select all

     <Node ID="WaterLoo" rootNode="True">
         <System
               name=            "WaterLoo"
               level=            "9"
               attributes=         "outerRealm"
               variant=         "ungoverned">
            <System UNID="&ssWaterLoo;"/>
         </System>

         <StarGates>
            <StarGate Name="WaterLooGateway" DestID="[Prev]" DestGate="Outbound"/>
            <StarGate Name="Outbound" DestID="Z2" DestGate="Inbound"/>
         </StarGates>
      </Node>
      <Node ID="Z2" rootNode="True">
         <System
               name=            "Sol"
               level=            "10"
               attributes=         "outerRealm"
               variant=         "ungoverned">
            <System UNID="&ssSol;"/>
         </System>

         <StarGates>
            <StarGate Name="Inbound" DestID="WaterLoo" DestGate="WaterLooGateway"/>
            <StarGate Name="Outbound" DestID="A7" DestGate="Inbound"/>
         </StarGates>
      </Node>

   </StarSystemTopology>

What am I missing? I am so confused...
