Page history last edited by Ryan McMullan 3 years, 1 month ago

The set_ship_text mission scripting command can be used to change various text properties of an existing named object. Contrary to what the name of the command implies, this can be applied to more than just ships, but typically can only change their name. The value of any optional attribute that is omitted will not be changed.

Attribute	Valid Values	Optional?	Description
name	text		Name of object to update. This can be any type of named object.
newname	text	Optional	Name to change it to.
race	text	Optional	Text of race. Only applies to enemies, neutrals, and generic meshes.
class	text	Optional	Text of class. Only applies to enemies, neutrals, and generic meshs.
desc	text	Optional	Description the science console sees after one scan. Only applies to enemies, neutrals, and generic meshes.
scan_desc	text	Optional	Description the science console sees after two scans. Only applies to enemies, neutrals, and generic meshes.
hailtext	text	Optional	Text this ship will reply with when comms "hails" them. Only applies to neutrals.

The following table explains attributes of various types of named objects:

Type	Name visible?	Scannable?	Scan Description Editable	Hailable?
station	Y	No, description visible at Scan Level 0	No	-
player	Y	No, description visible at Scan Level 0	No	-
