{Help} ship:addAbsoluteBias persistence?

[Aidenholmes9]

So i did an item that spawn a player ship and during generation adds some scripts to the ship, works well until i try to set a statbonus, here the script

 

package.path = package.path .. ";data/scripts/lib/?.lua"
package.path = package.path .. ";data/scripts/?.lua"

include("stringutility")
local ShipGenerator = include("shipgenerator")

function create(item, rarity, allyIndex)

    tooltip:addLine(line)

    item:setTooltip(tooltip)

    return item
end

function activate(item)

    local faction = Galaxy():getControllingFaction(Sector():getCoordinates())

    local sender = NamedFormat("${faction} Headquarters"%_T, {faction = faction.baseName})

    local player = Player()
    local playerFaction = player.craftFaction



    local craft = player.craft

    -- Create the Nomad
    local pos = random():getDirection() * 1500
    local matrix = MatrixLookUpPosition(normalize(-pos), vec3(0, 1, 0), pos)

    local ship = ShipGenerator.createShip(player, matrix)

    ship:invokeFunction("icon.lua", "set", nil)
    ship:removeScript("icon.lua")

    ship.title = "Nomad"%_T
ship:addScriptOnce("data/scripts/entity/merchants/fighterfactory.lua")
ship:addScriptOnce("data/scripts/entity/merchants/turretfactory.lua")
ship:addScriptOnce("data/scripts/entity/merchants/researchstation.lua")
ship:addScriptOnce("data/scripts/entity/merchants/refinery.lua")
ship:addAbsoluteBias(StatsBonuses.HyperspaceReach, 300) -- HERE THE PROBLEM
ship:addCrew(1, CrewMan(CrewProfessionType.Captain))
    NamePool.setShipName(ship)

    Sector():broadcastChatMessage(ship, 0, "Reporting in..."%_t, ship.title, ship.name)

    return true
end

 

the problem is that the "ship:addAbsoluteBias(StatsBonuses.HyperspaceReach, 300)" works but when i close the "server (Singleplayer)" and then connect again that ship doenst have the hyper space bonus anymore, is possible to make that bonus permanent/persistent ?

 

Thanks and sorry for my english...

StatBonuses changes are tied to the script. The moment that script unloads or if entity is reloaded, they disappear and need to be re-applied.

Look at how system upgrades apply bonuses - they do it initially in the "initialize" and after that in "restore".

So i should make a script that add the bonus? or can i make it on the item? Also where the upgrades "initialize" and "restore"?

 

Here a simple upgrade that adds velocity and acceleration like and absolute value...

 

package.path = package.path .. ";data/scripts/systems/?.lua"
package.path = package.path .. ";data/scripts/lib/?.lua"
include ("basesystem")
include ("utility")

-- optimization so that energy requirement doesn't have to be read every frame
FixedEnergyRequirement = true
Unique = true

function getBonuses(seed, rarity)

local velocity = 200
local acceleration = 25
local energy = 2

    return velocity, acceleration, energy
end

function onInstalled(seed, rarity, permanent)
    if not permanent then return end

    local velocity, acceleration, energy = getBonuses(seed, rarity)

addAbsoluteBias(StatsBonuses.Velocity, velocity)
addAbsoluteBias(StatsBonuses.Acceleration, acceleration)
addBaseMultiplier(StatsBonuses.GeneratedEnergy, energy)

end

function onUninstalled(seed, rarity, permanent)
end

function getName(seed, rarity)
    return "Antimatter Engine"%_t
end

function getIcon(seed, rarity)
    return "data/textures/icons/turbine.png"
end

function getPrice(seed, rarity)
    return 10000
end

function getTooltipLines(seed, rarity, permanent)
    local velocity, acceleration, energy = getBonuses(seed, rarity)

    local texts =
    {
        {ltext = "Velocity"%_t, rtext = "?"%_t, icon = "data/textures/icons/speedometer.png", boosted = permanent},
	{ltext = "Acceleration"%_t, rtext = "?"%_t, icon = "data/textures/icons/acceleration.png", boosted = permanent},
	{ltext = "Generated Energy"%_t, rtext = "?"%_t, icon = "data/textures/icons/electric.png", boosted = permanent}

    }

    if not permanent then
        return {}, texts
    else
        return texts, texts
    end
end

function getDescriptionLines(seed, rarity, permanent)
    return
    {
        {ltext = "This antimatter engine generates energy."%_t, lcolor = ColorRGB(1, 0.5, 0.5)},
        {ltext = "", boosted = permanent},
        {ltext = "This system gives fixed acceleration /* continues with 'and velocity ignoring weight.' */"%_t, rtext = "", icon = ""},
        {ltext = "and velocity ignoring weight. /* continued from 'This system gives fixed acceleration' */"%_t, rtext = "", icon = ""}
    }
end

 

I suppose that the "initialize" is the "oninstalled function"? but where is the "restore"? I dont really know how to programe i can barely read those scripts and modify them like the upgrade or the first item that was a merchant caller...  if you can take the time to explain or write an example great and thanks in advance and sorry again for my english  :P

[Rinart73]

Yes

 

Also where the upgrades "initialize" and "restore"?

System upgrades include "basesystem.lua" - it has restore

So the "onInstalled function" is the"restore" and not "initialize" thanks for the help! i should need the "secure" and "restore" functions right?  if you can lead me to how to change "onInstalled" to  the so called "entity reload" would save me weeks even if you point to a game file that do it, but for now you made my day thanks!

[Rinart73]

Look at basesystem.lua again. "onInstalled" is being called both by "initialize" and "restore".

You need "secure" only if you want to save some data between reloads (like the bonus value).

Thanks for your help! it worked =)

 

Here the script if somebody is interested... Works well and the stats persist i dont know if it efficient but for my personal use works...
