Find mission objects directly with Find_Object - how?

[Trajan von Olb]

Hi,

with my More Hotkeys - Advanced Targeting I have redefined targeting, and it actually works great (who wants to use SirNuke's Python tool).

But now I noticed that sometimes mission targets are "empty space" or ships cannot be switched on as mission targets (because they are too far away). I don't even want to talk about mines that are not recognised. Finally, I also find a hotkey good: "next mission target".

But how do I find these things? I work with "Find_Object" etc., is there perhaps some entry with "match" that I can use? How do the quest objects define themselves and how do I find them?

Thanks for answers. I would really like to extend the goal finding, I'm annoyed myself that I now have to take the mouse in my hand again every time for a mission, and that's exactly what I wanted to avoid

Unfortunately, I don't think that's easy to do.

Mission targets (object or point in space) are saved in each mission.
To access them, you need to have the mission script reference.
And I don't think there's a register of all active missions that is accessible via the MD.
And when you do have that mission's script, you need to know which variable to access. They can be built differently.

But you can access the current active mission's autopilot target in the MD with: "player.activemissionwaypoint".

Thank you very much! That should already help!

Can this variable theoretically also contain several waypoints (as with mines or laser towers), i.e. as an arrey? And - please excuse my lack of expertise - how do I tell e.g. "find object" to search EVERYWHERE, i.e. without any class at all? Alternatively, what "class" does "empty space" have?

Thanks as always for answers You are great!

Unfortunately, no.
player.activemissionwaypoint is only the autopilot's next waypoint to its destination.
when a mission is active, and the mission script has set an object or position in space as a mission target or destination, then player.activemissionwaypoint guides the autopilot to that object or position.
