how to determine what scripts are run on a npc ship?

[Thechosenone92]

hello, i am trying to determine what script is running on a particular npc ship. the ship in question is a Kha'ak Scout. the reason i am trying to find what scripts are running on it is because whenever this particular Kha'ak Scout is killed my game locks up, from my understanding that is because its trying to access a corrupt script. if that is not the case then what would be causing this lock up?

how to determine what scripts are run on a npc ship?

Activate the script editor, then open it and set "Additional debug information" to On. Afterwards target the khaak ship, open its ship info menu and scroll down. You should see a list of scripts that are running on the ship.

if that is not the case then what would be causing this lock up?

Which scripts and mods are you using?

sorry for all the german there from lucike

EDIT: i checked what scripts where running on the khaak scout, noting different from the other khaak scouts in the area

EDIT2: i have tried destroying all the other khaak scouts in the universe using X3 map by Scorp(to find them) and cycrow's cheat scripts (to destroy them) the only ones that cause my game to lock up are the ones in the unknown sector under menelaus' oasis. in the unknown sector in question is a 3 way battle fought by pirates atf and khaak. this battle was initiated by rrf (pirates vs unknown), in the message i receive from the pirates it says the sector was claimed from the Kha'ak although the initial fight was against unknown.

Nope.
When the scout is destroyed, any and all scripts that are running on it are terminated. They don't get a chance to access anything.

Some other script (global or running on another object) must be observing that scout and apparently goes into an infinite loop without a wait when it is destroyed.

There is no direct way to show which script is looking at that particular object. All trial and error...

Maybe you can check the local variables that are saved on that scout. Many scripts leave a signature when they create objects.

how would i go about doing that i tried

Code: Select all

$wasd = get player tracking aim
$ret = $wasd->get local variables: regular expression=[THIS]
write to log file 1234  append=$wasd  value=$ret
return null

with no avail it just returned null.

EDIT: i fixed my script my using

Code: Select all

$wasd = get player tracking aim
$ret = $wasd->get local variables: regular expression='.'
write to log file 1234  append=$ret  value=$ret
return null

however the ship that crashes my game wipes the log and returns null. there where a few others like this (70+ khaak scouts in the system only about 5 cause me to crash). some others actually returned data. any ideas?

EDIT2: i tried using JMCorp's kill all ships script located here and it actually destroyed the ships without a freeze! any idea what this means?
