Plus, if you have a file named main.cs in config, it automatically executes on launch, I believe before the client add-ons load? I used it to load the mission editor but you can also have it check launch parameters and such.

Wow, that loads before the base scripts even load. It must be left over from the old -mod parameter. Thanks.

Dropped items are static shapes, right?

No, they are items.

Modification Help / Re: I cant exec in console!

If you are changing/executing zipped files on the fly, you need to do this first:

Code: [Select]

discoverFile("Add-ons/Player_Psyche.zip");
//OR
setModPaths(getModPaths());

However, I recommend doing all of your modding work using non-zipped folders. It makes executing changes much easier.

You can't use string concatenation for creating objects. However, the client's BL_ID is guaranteed to be a number and not contained "s, so you can just use...

Code: [Select]
%oldName = %brick.getName();
%brick.setName("BrickToClone");
%so = eval("return new ScriptObject(Salvage_" @ %client.bl_id @ " : BrickToClone);");
%brick.setName(%oldName);

Don't use eval for that...

Code: [Select]

%oldName = %brick.getName();
%brick.setName("BrickToClone");

new ScriptObject(tempBrickName : BrickToClone);

%brick.setName(%oldName);
tempBrickName.setName("new name" SPC $blah);

It's easier to just do expandEscape(%text);

Now we'll have 500 add-ons trying to use the same port.

We should implement some kind of virtualhost setup.

Modification Help / Re: Code will not add the swatch onto the gui

I also had to make dynamic names for GUIs at a point, I basically just set a variable equal to want I wanted the name to be
Code: [Select]
%name = "Derp" @ %i;
then made the GUI using that variable
Code: [Select]
new GUISwatchCtrl(%name)

Exactly. The other option is to create them with a generic name and then rename them with ::setName.
