Script.plist

script.plist Used by missions and OXP's to check conditions and change scripted parameters accordingly. In OXP's it provides Oolite with additional information to generate and populate customised systems. Every condition is followed by a scripted action, a 'Do' or 'Else' entry, a 'do' entry can be nested (have conditions, followed by Do)

Conditions

Check whether the current status of one of a number of queriable states and mission_variables are equal, lessthan, greaterthan a given value or state, or oneof a list of space separated states.

example:

<key>conditions</key>
<dict> 
    <array>
        <string>shipsFound_number equal 0</string>
    </array>
</dict>

Just a small start. probably better to list the condition parameters, methods in their own Omnibus. A_H
