sysFindObject

[schilcote]

This:

Code: Select all

(setq auton (objGetTarget gSource))
	(if (not (eq &scStephinianAuton; (shpGetClass auton)))
		(setq auton (sysFindObject gSource "sFN:20; B:stephinianAuton;"))
		)

Does not work. I need to find the closest &scStephinianAuton; to the playership.

I'm not that versed in Transcendence scripting functions, but I believe bobby's living Agauptera class ship mod has a functioning ship recognition routine. Search for the text that goes something like "Look, a <insertshipname>."
Maybe you can check his code and then output all StaphinianAuton proximities to a list and get the lowest int from that list?

Hi schilcote,
alterecco suggested to try a simple:

(sysFindObject gPlayerShip "sN +stephinianAuton")
or
(sysFindObject gPlayerShip "sNB:stephinianAuton")

remember that stephinianAuton attribute is case sensitive, and it should be exactly the same as the attribute on the auton.

I suggested:

(setq autonList (filter (sysFindObject gSource "sFN:20")) tempAuton (eq (objgettype tempAuton) &scStephinianAuton;))

this returns a list of all the friendly Stephinian Autons, so you have to (setq myAuton (item autonList 0)) or (setq myAuton (random autonList))

[alterecco]

apparently you can also do (thanks to Star Weaver for digging this one up)

Code: Select all

(sysFindObject gPlayerShip "sN +unid:&scStephinianAuton;")
