[question] SystemUpgrade unique identifier?

[Nic_s]

First, I've never done anything with lua before. I work mostly in C#, js, and html... So excuse my lack of knowledge here.

 

I'm messing around with some ideas when I found something that's kinda got me stuck.

 

I'm getting all the system upgrades in a players inventory using 'getItemsByType', but there doesn't seem to be any kind of unique identifier for these... err... objects?

I want to store information about them for later use. Don't know how I'm going to store it yet, but if I can't identify them in some unique way then it won't matter.

I've got no clue 'bout lua nor Avorion-modding, anything about tweaking numbers of existing mods is beyond me,

 

but there is a mod which modifies all 8 artifacts to have unique bonuses, maybe you can find something helpful if you look at it's code:

Sorry for the necro...

 

I've taken a little break from the game, but I am still curious if there is a way to uniquely identify a module in your inventory? An id field of some sorts? It could be as simple as an integer variable. Every time a player picks up a module, the game can look at what int values are already in use and then choose the next available int value.

 

Or maybe GUIDs can work? Then each item will generate with it's own unique ID on the server.
