Cabal Common Library Doc Comms
Overview
This is the main class for the secure comms channels with its members and part of the Cabal_Common_Library.
The script is mainly used to store and handle incoming data from shipscripts and worldScripts for a secure communication channel. Entities can place, change or remove their data fairly simple and a few parameters are handled. The equipment itself is not visible to the player and added automagically by adding a entry. Additionally entities can use script_info keys to give the player the option to open a channel. Entries are valid until the player leaves the system or in case of entities is out of scanner range based on a timer with 25 sec intervals. The range check can by bypassed.
The script checks the following shipdata.plist script_info key when the player receives a comms message from that entity.
script_info:
- ccl_secureChannel
- String. Property in the ship-script that holds the comm object.
- ccl_secureChannelPrep
- String. Function in the ship-script that initiates the object.
The scripts should keep a valid object to use removeFromComm() or changeChoicesComm().
Everything else is performed within the EQ-script.
