Oolite JavaScript Reference: ShipGroup

From Elite Wiki

The ShipGroup class is used to manage groups of ships.

Constructor

new ShipGroup([name : String [, leader : Ship]]) : ShipGroup

Creates a new group, optionally specifying the name and leader.

Example:

var myGroup = new ShipGroup();
myGroup.name = "My group";
myShip.group = myGroup;

Properties

count

count : Number (integer, read-only)

Number of ships in the group, including leader.

leader

leader : Ship (read/write)

Defines a leader for the group. If the ship is not a member of the group, it is added. Note: The player's ship can be set as a group leader, but doing this is not recommended. The lack of JS AIs for the player means that exceptions during script execution and other unpredictable behaviour can be expected and, are in fact, very likely. This is a known issue in versions of the game up to and including 1.84.

name

name : String (read/write)

Name of the ship group.

ships

ships : Array (Ships, read-only)


Methods

addShip

function addShip(ship : Ship)

Add a ship to the group.

containsShip

function containsShip(ship : Ship) : Boolean

Returns true if ship is a member of the group, false otherwise.

removeShip

function removeShip(ship : Ship)

Remove a ship from the group.
