The '''<code>Player</code>''' class is an <code>[[Oolite/Development/Scripting/Class/Entity|Entity]]</code> representing the player, and the player’s ship – the two are inseperable. The <code>Player</code> has all the properties and methods of a <code> [[Oolite/Development/Scripting/Class/Ship|Ship]]</code>, and several others. There is always exactly one <code>Player</code> object in existence, which can be accessed through the <code>player</code> global property.

  +
function '''addMessageToArrivalReport'''(message : String)
−
Adds the given piece of equipment to the player’s ship. Example: <code>player.awardEquipment("EQ_TRUMBLE")</code>
  
  +
Adds a message to the arrival report shown immediately after docking. Oolite puts its own stuff on the list immediately after shipWillDockWithStation() so this is a good moment to add the messages when you know what station will be docked. shipDockedWithStation() may also be used. Messages added will be on the list above Oolite's own arrival messages if added during shipWillDockWithStation() or while in flight, and below Oolite's own arrival messages if added during shipDockedWithStation().
  +
  +
=== <code>commsMessage</code> ===
  +
function '''commsMessage'''(message : String [, duration: Number])
  +
Writes the specified message in the player’s communications log, as well as displaying it as a console message. The optional <code>duration</code> parameter determines how long the message should be displayed on the console before fading out. It is clamped to the range [1, 10]. If no duration is specified, 4.5 seconds will be used. Example: <code>player.commsMessage("Hello, cruel universe.", 6)</code><BR>
  +
NB. This commsMessage() is a property of "player". "player.ship" has also a commsMessage() property, but that belongs to ship and has a different second parameter. (see [[Oolite_JavaScript_Reference:_Ship|Oolite JavaScript Reference: Ship]])
  +
  +
=== <code>consoleMessage</code> ===
  +
function '''consoleMessage'''(message : String [, duration: Number])
  +
Displays the specified message as a console message, that is, as a message on the HUD. The optional <code>duration</code> parameter determines how long the message should be displayed before fading out. It is clamped to the range [1, 10]. If no duration is specified, 3 seconds will be used.
  +
  +
=== <code>decreaseContractReputation</code> ===
  +
function '''decreaseContractReputation'''()
  +
Give the player a negative reputation point for cargo contracts. Decreases the underlying value for contractReputation by 1 until a minimum of -7. Depending on the randomised part of the value can the visible value stay the same in one system.

function '''endScenario'''(key : String)
  +
End the current game immediately and return to the start game screen. Returns true if it succeeds (though this will shortly be irrelevant), and false if it fails, which it will do if the key passed in is not the same as the [[scenarios.plist|scenario key]] in the current game scenario. If the current game scenario has no scenario key, this method will always fail.
  +
  +
There is no way to find out what, if any, the current scenario key is. If you are calling this function, you should be doing so in a context where you already know what it is.
  +
  +

  +
This method can only be called after the player has launched an escape pod – for example, from the [[Oolite_JavaScript_Reference:_World_script_event_handlers#escapePodSequenceOver|<code>escapePodSequenceOver()</code>]] event handler. It determines where the player will end up. <code>destination</code> may be any carrier/station entity, or the string <code>"NEARBY_SYSTEM"</code>, or <code>null</code>. If it is <code>"NEARBY_SYSTEM"</code>, the player will end up at the main station in a random nearby system. If it is <code>null</code>, the player will die of life support failure. (<code>null</code> is the default in interstellar space.)

Awards the given amount of the specified type of cargo. The cargo name must match the name in ''commodities.plist'' exactly.
  
  +
function '''replaceShip'''(dataKey [, personality])
  +
This method can only be called while the player is docked at a station. It discards the player's current ship (including all cargo, passenger contracts, and equipment), and replaces it with the ship defined by the shipyard.plist entry <code>dataKey</code> (obviously the key must also be defined in shipyard.plist as a valid player ship). The new ship will have all standard equipment for a ship of that type, and any equipment from the previous ship which was [[Oolite JavaScript Reference: EquipmentInfo#isPortableBetweenShips|isPortableBetweenShips]]. While this may not necessarily be a ship purchase, the [[Oolite JavaScript Reference: World script event handlers#playerBoughtNewShip|playerBoughtNewShip]] will fire to notify other scripts of the change, although this event is being deprecated in favour of [[Oolite JavaScript Reference: World script event handlers#playerReplacedShip|playerReplacedShip]], which was added in Oolite Test Release 1.89.

Whether the player is dangerously close to a planet. (closer than 4000 meter to the surface)

alertCondition

alertCondition : Number (read-only, integer)

Returns the current alert condition. 0 = Docked, 1 = Green, 2 = Yellow, 3 = Red.

alertEnergy

alertEnergy : Boolean (read-only)

Whether the player’s energy level is depleted (i.e., energy is less than maxEnergy).

alertHostiles

contractReputation : Number (read-only integer)

This property was added in Oolite test release 1.79. 

contractReputationPrecise : Number (read-only decimal)

The player’s cargo contract reputation, ranging from -7 to +7. Reputation is made up internally of three components - "good", "bad", and "unknown". "good" and "bad" will decay back to "unknown" slowly over time, while "unknown" may in some systems (randomised on entry) be partially treated as "good", to represent imperfect knowledge of the player's reputation. The value reported by these properties is the final value after this randomisation is applied. The "Precise" version includes fractional reputation, used in Oolite 1.79 onwards..

See also: decreaseContractReputation(), increaseContractReputation(), passengerReputation

credits

credits : Number (read/write, float)

The amount of money the player has, in credits.

dockingClearanceStatus

dockingClearanceStatus : String (read-only)

A string indicating whether the player has docking clearance. (Clarify: for which station? -Ahruman 20:34, 3 November 2008 (UTC)) Possible values are:

Number of seconds that will be added to the clock when the player uses an escape pod and is rescued. Default value is 0 (zero), which will utilise the default time calculation that can add up to eight days to the clock. Negative numbers will be ignored (and default calculation will apply).

legalStatus

legalStatus : String (read-only)

A string describing the player’s legal status for display purposes, based on bounty. In English, this is one of "Clean" (bounty = 0), "Offender" (0 < bounty ≤ 50) or "Fugitive", but note that it can be localized.

name

name : String (read-only, read/write from 1.79)

The name of the player’s character (e.g., “Jameson”). Prior to 1.79 this was also used as the filename for the savegame, and so was not writable.

parcelReputation

parcelReputation : Number (read-only integer)

This property was added in Oolite test release 1.79. 

parcelReputationPrecise : Number (read-only decimal)

The player’s parcel contract reputation, ranging from -7 to +7. Reputation is made up internally of three components - "good", "bad", and "unknown". "good" and "bad" will decay back to "unknown" slowly over time, while "unknown" may in some systems (randomised on entry) be partially treated as "good", to represent imperfect knowledge of the player's reputation. The value reported by these properties is the final value after this randomisation is applied. The "Precise" version includes fractional reputation, used in Oolite 1.79 onwards.

Methods

addMessageToArrivalReport

function addMessageToArrivalReport(message : String)

Adds a message to the arrival report shown immediately after docking. Oolite puts its own stuff on the list immediately after shipWillDockWithStation() so this is a good moment to add the messages when you know what station will be docked. shipDockedWithStation() may also be used. Messages added will be on the list above Oolite's own arrival messages if added during shipWillDockWithStation() or while in flight, and below Oolite's own arrival messages if added during shipDockedWithStation().

commsMessage

function commsMessage(message : String [, duration: Number])

Writes the specified message in the player’s communications log, as well as displaying it as a console message. The optional duration parameter determines how long the message should be displayed on the console before fading out. It is clamped to the range [1, 10]. If no duration is specified, 4.5 seconds will be used. Example: player.commsMessage("Hello, cruel universe.", 6)
NB. This commsMessage() is a property of "player". "player.ship" has also a commsMessage() property, but that belongs to ship and has a different second parameter. (see Oolite JavaScript Reference: Ship)

consoleMessage

function consoleMessage(message : String [, duration: Number])

Displays the specified message as a console message, that is, as a message on the HUD. The optional duration parameter determines how long the message should be displayed before fading out. It is clamped to the range [1, 10]. If no duration is specified, 3 seconds will be used.

decreaseContractReputation

function decreaseContractReputation()

Give the player a negative reputation point for cargo contracts. Decreases the underlying value for contractReputation by 1 until a minimum of -7. Depending on the randomised part of the value can the visible value stay the same in one system.

See also: contractReputation, increaseContractReputation()

decreaseParcelReputation

This method was added in Oolite test release 1.77. 

function decreaseParcelReputation()

Give the player a negative reputation point for parcel contracts. Decreases the underlying value for parcelReputation by 1 until a minimum of -7. Depending on the randomised part of the value can the visible value stay the same in one system.

See also: parcelReputation, increaseParcelReputation()

decreasePassengerReputation

function decreasePassengerReputation()

Give the player a negative reputation point for passenger contracts. Decreases the underlying value for passengerReputation by 1 until a minimum of -7. Depending on the randomised part of the value can the visible value stay the same in one system.

See also: passengerReputation, increasePassengerReputation()

endScenario

This method was added in Oolite test release 1.79. 

function endScenario(key : String)

End the current game immediately and return to the start game screen. Returns true if it succeeds (though this will shortly be irrelevant), and false if it fails, which it will do if the key passed in is not the same as the scenario key in the current game scenario. If the current game scenario has no scenario key, this method will always fail.

There is no way to find out what, if any, the current scenario key is. If you are calling this function, you should be doing so in a context where you already know what it is.

increaseContractReputation

function increaseContractReputation()

Give the player a positive reputation point for cargo contracts. Increases the underlying value for contractReputation by 1 until a maximum of 7

increaseParcelReputation

This method was added in Oolite test release 1.77. 

function increaseParcelReputation()

Give the player a positive reputation point for parcel contracts. Increases the underlying value for parcelReputation by 1 until a maximum of 7

See also: parcelReputation, decreaseParcelReputation()

increasePassengerReputation

function increasePassengerReputation()

Give the player a positive reputation point for passenger contracts. Increases the underlying value for passengerReputation by 1 until a maximum of 7

See also: passengerReputation, decreasePassengerReputation()

setEscapePodDestination

function setEscapePodDestination(destination)

This method can only be called after the player has launched an escape pod – for example, from the escapePodSequenceOver() event handler. It determines where the player will end up. destination may be any carrier/station entity, or the string "NEARBY_SYSTEM", or null. If it is "NEARBY_SYSTEM", the player will end up at the main station in a random nearby system. If it is null, the player will die of life support failure. (null is the default in interstellar space.)

setPlayerRole

This method was added in Oolite test release 1.79. 

function setPlayerRole(role [,index])

Sets one of the player's perceived role entries to the specified role. If index is not specified, a random entry will be chosen.

replaceShip

This method was added in Oolite test release 1.77. 

function replaceShip(dataKey [, personality])

This method can only be called while the player is docked at a station. It discards the player's current ship (including all cargo, passenger contracts, and equipment), and replaces it with the ship defined by the shipyard.plist entry dataKey (obviously the key must also be defined in shipyard.plist as a valid player ship). The new ship will have all standard equipment for a ship of that type, and any equipment from the previous ship which was isPortableBetweenShips. While this may not necessarily be a ship purchase, the playerBoughtNewShip will fire to notify other scripts of the change, although this event is being deprecated in favour of playerReplacedShip, which was added in Oolite Test Release 1.89.

If the dataKey was not defined in both shipdata.plist and shipyard.plist, or the player is in flight, this method does nothing.

personality is optional, and can be between 0 and 32767. The new ship is given that specific entityPersonality, which for some ships may affect its appearance with shaders.
