So whats the thing about command and commandaction?

[djfhe]

I know that i need them somehow if i call a other script inside mine one, but what exactly are they doing?
I see them a lot, are they saving smth. like the state of the script, before it calls the other one? I have no clue honestly.

They're providing information for the UI. For example, when you target a friendly/scanned ship and look at the info screen you may see something like "Trading" or "Patrolling" which would be the command. Under that command it might say something else like "Dock at Energy Fab" or "Attacking Xenon P", which is the commandaction.

ha okey thank you very much.
Its pretty hard to get into X4 modding in my opinion, mainly because i cant find any in-depth documentation.
