Creating an empty space crate

[loudent]

Hey All,

I'm trying to create an empty crate in space but the generator.AddContainer() requires a droplist xml as an argument. I've tried creating an xml with no items in the list but that gives me more errors.

Is there a way to create a crate in space without any contents?

I guess worst case scenario is I could delete the contents of the create first but I figured I'd check before I went that route.

Hi!
Yes, you can use this function for spawning an empty crate container. It will return the container ID.
You can give null for dropListID variable for this function.

Thank you very much

Actually, if I pass null for the drop list I get the following error:

Sorry for that, I've found a bug with this function, a small mistype ruining it... :-( Will be fixed in the next build.
As a workaround, please create a new droplist xml ("droplist_empty.xml") with the content:

Code Select Expand


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<root>
<header>
<id>droplist_empty</id>
</header>

<data>
<!-- empty list -->
<list>
<type>2</type>
<elements></elements>
</list>
</data>
</root>


Place it at the "data/itemslist" folder and then you can invoke function generator.AddContainer() with the "droplist_empty" argument. It should spawn an empty crate container.

Regards!

Will do, thanks.

Seems to be working
