Scope generator

Used for generation items, objects, systems in game, and also for getting some specific info about them.

Visibility: Global.

List of functions

AddAsteroid
Arguments Returns Example
  • int: system_id
  • double: coord_x
  • double: coord_y
  • string: type - xml id of asteroid
  • double: scale
  • double: resQ - resouces modifier
  • object: rotation
  • object: rotationSpeed

int: identifier of created object 

var id = generator.AddAsteroid(1,100,100,"Asteroid01",1, 0, {x:0,y:0,z:0}, {x:0,y:0,z:0});
Description

Adds asteroid with specified parameters into game world. Asteroid contents (extractable resources), asteroid's look and other parameters can be modified only in .xml file, which is specified in this function by parameter "type".


AddBase
Arguments Returns Example
  • int: system_id
  • double: coord_x
  • double: coord_y
  • string: type - xml id of base
  • string: name
  • (optional) object: tags

int: identifier of created object 

var id = generator.AddBase(1, 100, 100, "Base01", "Station Horizon", {class: "order"});
Description

Adds space station to game world.


AddItem
Arguments Returns Example
  • int: object_id
  • string: item_xml_id
  • int: quantity

object:

  • quantity - quantity was actually added
  • type - can be "item" or "resource"
 
var obj = generator.AddItem(1, "SomeItem", 5);
Description

Adds item to some object's inventory. In VoidExpanse not all objects do have inventory, so this function must be applied only to those, which have it, such as ships, space stations, containers.


AddItemToSpecifiedContainer
Arguments Returns Example
  • int: container_id
  • string: item_xml_id
  • int: quantity

object:

  • quantity - quantity was actually added
  • type - can be "item" or "resource"
 
var obj = generator.AddItemToSpecifiedContainer(1525, "SomeItem", 5);
Description

Important notice: container_id - is a special, unique in-game identifier for containers, which cannot be obtained by any way through API. Container id can only be obtained as a function parameter in events. Currently used in OnInstancedContainerGeneration event.


GenerateItemsWithItemlist
Arguments Returns Example
  • int: item_list_xml_id

array of objects:

  • quantity - quantity was actually added
  • id - xml-id of item
 
var items = generator.GenerateItemsWithItemlist(1, "SomeItem", 5);
for(var i = 0; i < items.length; i++)
{
	generator.AddItemToSpecifiedContainer(
		args.container_id,
		items[i].id,
		items[i].quantity );
}
Description

Generates set of items with itemlist. After generation, items can be added to any container.



AddContainer
Arguments Returns Example
  • int: system_id
  • double: coord_x

var id = generator.AddContainer(1, 0, 0, "Container01", "DropList01");
Description

Adds a floating container to game world. By default container is empty. Also containers, which has no contents, are unstable (self-destroyed as soon as someone will look at it's contents), so it's better not to create empty containers. Content can be added with generator.AddItem function.

  • Proximity - link cannot pass closer then 2 units to a star
  • Intersections - link cannot intersect any other link
