Ah thanks!

[Originem]

fine...Is there any better way to detect if a fleet member exists? There is a problem that if I record a FleetMemberAPI, the member would be strong reference that won't be removed from the save.
Now I use member == null || member.getFleetData() == null to check. And another way I think is to use WeakReference, though it will take several lines in the save.

[Alex]

Using member.getFleetData() == null sounds reasonable, yeah. You might also check - if that's not null - whether getFleetData().getFleet() is also null, and if not, whether the fleet .isAlive().

You could use a weak reference, too. If it's only used occasionally the extra lines in the save don't matter very much, but if it's a commonplace thing with tens/hundreds or more uses, then it might be a concern.

What I wanna add is only in player's fleet and player's ship. hmm, maybe I could first not use weak reference and have a try.

2 Questions:

1) Having some trouble with:

Code

float count = submarket.getQuantity(CargoAPI.CargoItemType.NULL, hullmod);

I've tried all the CargoAPI.CargoItemType options other than FIGHTER_CHIP and WEAPONS. I assumed SPECIAL would be the correct one for hullmods but it doesn't seem like it. "hullmod" is the hullmod id string in the hullmods csv. "submarket" is a CargoAPI gotten from an existing submarket in the campaign's eceonomy.

I've verified that the id is correct and the market in question has a single copy of safetyoverrides, but when I use this code count is still coming up as 0.0

Is there a way to detect and remove hullmods from markets using the API? Weapons and fighters were comparatively very easy to adjust.

2) Does setting the hull frequency to 0 also prevent a ship from spawning in the market as well as fleets?

[Alex]

The getQuantity method won't work quite how you want. The second parameter is the id of the special item *type*, so something like:
getQuantity(CargoItemType.SPECIAL, Items.MODSPEC)

Would get you the total number of mod specs in the cargo, but not for a specific modspec.

You'd want to do something like this:

for (CargoStackAPI stack : cargo.getStacksCopy()) {
   SpecialItemData data = stack.getSpecialDataIfSpecial();
   if (data != null && data.getData().equals(hullmod)) {
      count++;
   }
}

2) Does setting the hull frequency to 0 also prevent a ship from spawning in the market as well as fleets?

(Oh, and this: ... I don't actually remember. I *think* so?)

[Morrokain]

Ah ok. Can I remove them using: submarket.removeItems(CargoAPI.CargoItemType.SPECIAL, hullmod, count);?

(Oh, and this: ... I don't actually remember. I *think* so?)

It at least seems to. But I assume the BPs are still raid-able since the faction still technically knows them. I need to test raiding a bit more.

[Alex]

It'd be something like:

cargo.removeItems(CargoAPI.CargoItemType.SPECIAL, new SpecialItemData(Items.MODSPEC, hullmod), count)

[Morrokain]

^Thanks! I tested it out and the code works now.

[IonDragonX]

It'd be something like:

cargo.removeItems(CargoAPI.CargoItemType.SPECIAL, new SpecialItemData(Items.MODSPEC, hullmod), count)

How can I modify this code to remove a specific wing LPC from the player's cargo?

[Alex]

Something like:
cargo.removeItems(CargoAPI.CargoItemType.FIGHTER_CHIP, wingId, count)

[IonDragonX]

Something like:
cargo.removeItems(CargoAPI.CargoItemType.FIGHTER_CHIP, wingId, count)

Thank You Very Much!!! I'm 90% there.
Where can I place this call so it will run whenever a Hullmod is removed? Or maybe somewhere else like where a wing is dropped out of a bay during Refit?

[shoi]

Is there any plan to add something to API that allows us to pass an arbitrary amount of time?

I feel like this was asked before, and you said it'd be a pain to do, but I can't seem to find where so I don't know if im imagining things

Ah, but that's the hard part! Offhand I'm not sure that there are good places to do that.

No plans for that, no. It's not easily doable.
