Please make an effort to clarify API documentation.

callback onShotFired(entityId) 
Executed whenever a shot is fired in the sector

Parameters
entityId The index of the firing entity

 

After at least an hour of

quit/edit/load/quit/edit/load/quit/edit/load/quit/edit/load/quit/edit/load/

quit/edit/load/quit/edit/load/quit/edit/load/quit/edit/load/quit/edit/load/

quit/edit/load/quit/edit/load/quit/edit/load/quit/edit/load/quit/edit/load/...

 

I finally figured out that the entityId returned to the callback is the turret id ***NOT THE CRAFT ID*** Don't get me wrong, I understand *now* that turret id is returned - I just don't understand why you couldn't specify that it was the turret id returned - not the ship id.

 

Ship is an Entity --True
Turret is an Entity --True
Callback returns 'index of the firing entity'
Did the ship fire a shot --Yes
Did the turret fire a shot --Yes

 

To make my point clear - you simply cannot label everything in the documentation an 'Entity' without clarifying what 'Entity' refers to.

 

I'd be really interested in knowing the developers position on modding - is it something they're adding as a 'little extra' - or do they realize that a heavily modifiable game makes for a dedicated modding community which makes for a quantifiably bigger reason to by the game.

Modding is cool, and we definitely want to support it. But please keep in mind that we are only so few people and always work with the code -> Some things that are obvious to us might not be obvious to you guys without it being bad intent on our side  ::)

So just keep reporting these instances so that we can improve our documentation :)
