Reading Notoriety - debug me please!

[JustHere4Coffee]

okay, I'm trying to find out just what my standing is with the individual races, and something's not coming out right

here's the script as it stands:

Code: Select all

$myrace = [PLAYERSHIP] -> get owner race
$argon = $myrace -> get notoriety to race Argon
... (repeat for all races)
write to player logbook: printf: fmt='Argons: %s', $argon, null, null, null, null
... (repeat for all races)
return 0

the output of the script adds lines to my log, but all I ever get is 0 as my notoriety

is there something I'm missing, or is there no way to accurately obtain this info? I saw mention of a script that changed the prices of its wares based on your standing with races, but on examination it didn't do any such thing so I was left helpless

does the command the command not require a refrence ship or station rather than a race?

/me checks the handbook...

yep...

Code: Select all

<RetVar/IF><RefObj> get notoriery to race <Var/Race>

it's a reference object.


you want to specify [PLAYERSHIP] directly rather than getting the race of it.

bugger

I tried that originally and got the same result, I presumed because my ship doesn't carry my stats

it must only check those -1000000/0/1000000-type ratings, not the actual player/race ranking stats

Notority its how much it taktes a ship or station to get mean to you or nother race. ed notoiety to pirates is low therefor only takes 1 or 2 hits.

the lower the notority of the object the less it has to do to get the other race mad at it.

eg setting your playership notiety to -100 to the argo will make then way less forgiving!

at the moment there no way to do race wide notority even though theres is the race to race notoriety lookup with will always show 0!

I'm not sure about "getting" notoriety, but to set it you use the Player (Julian) race.

One thing I do remember is that it was the wrong way round from what I expected, have you tried :

$argon = Argon get notoriety to race Player
