Script help

[evilbob]

I've decided to try transcendence scripting, since I've done just about all I can with the basic xml, but I can't get my head around it

Code: Select all

			<OnCreate>
				(if (not (objGetData gSource "MineContract"))
					(block Nil
						(objSetData gSource "MineContract" (sysGetNode))
						)
					)
			</OnCreate>	
		
		<Invoke>
		(if (sysGetNode) (objGetData gSource "MineContract" )
			(block Nil						
			
[Script to use here]
)
)

		</Invoke>

I want this item to, when first created, get the system it was created in, so that when it's used, it will only function in that system.

I have the script it's meant to run working, but the if statement and on create aren't working. I'm sure it's something glaringly obvious, but I know next to nothing of the script and don't know what to do.

Unfortunately, <OnCreate> is not supported for items--only for ships and stations (there are too many items--calling OnCreate every time one is created would slow down the game).

Depending on your needs, you might initialize the item only the first time it is used. Or you might set some parameters in the item when the item is given to the player (if there is a station that gives out mining contracts, for example).
