function bool hasScript(string name)

function var... invokeFunction(var scriptName, string functionName, var... arguments)

Invokes a function in a script of the player. Use this function to invoke functions from one script in another script. The first return value of the function is an integer indicating whether or not the call was successful. When it was, this integer is followed by the return values of the invoked function.

Parameters

scriptName The name of the script containing the function
functionName The name of the function that will be executed
arguments An arbitrary list of arguments that will be given to the invoked function. Only numbers, std::strings and nil are supported here.

Returns

Returns at least 1 value indicating if the call succeeded:
0 The call was successful. In this case, the return values of the script are returned in addition to the call result, following the call result.
3 The call failed because the given script was not found in the player.
4 The call failed because the given function was not found in the script.
5 The call failed because the script's state has errors and is invalid

function bool knowsFaction(int factionIndex)

function bool knowsSector(int x, int y)

function bool ownsShip(string name)

function var registerCallback(string callbackName, string functionName)

Register a callback in the player. The callback will be removed when the sector is changed or the receiver, if it's an entity, is destroyed. Double registration of callbacks doesn't work. When the same callback to the same callback of the same script instance is registered twice, it will still only be called once.

Parameters

callbackName The name of the callback
functionName The name of the function that will be executed in the script when the callback happens

Returns

nothing

function var sendCallback()

Returns

nothing

function var sendChatMessage(var content, var channel)

function var setSelectionGroup(int index, var group_in)

Returns

nothing

function var startBuilding(Entity entity)

Returns
