Please HELP!!! - creating a Xenon L via SE

[chelo_boga]

Hi.

First of all. I dont know the first thing about scripting or modding!

Im stuck in the game and need to script in a xenon L that i can claim. Can someone tell me how to do that step by step?

I activated the script editor and didnt understand any of it from the menu.

A million thanks!

Easy way:
Download and install the Cheat Package.
Use it to make an L

Hard Way:

• Open up the script editor
  Select the first menu option (I think it is just called 'Script Editor')
  Select 'New Script'
  Change the name of the script eg. aaaaa.create.L (The 'a's are there so it will be near the top of the list.)
  Select 'New Line'
  Select 'General Object Commands' and then 'Create Object'
  Select the command <RetVar> = create ship: type=<Var/Ship> owner=<Var/Race> addto=<Value> x=<Var/Number> y=<Var/Number> z=<Var/Number> (I am fairly sure it is the top one)
  You can now highlight the arguments and change their values.
  For <RetVar> select 'no returnvalue'
  For type select the L
  Owner is obviously you
  addto is the sector you want to add the ship to
  x, y and z are the coordinates of the ship.
  Once you have done that press escape to get out and when prompted select yes to save the script.
  You should have returned to the list of scripts. Find your one so the line is selected and press 'r'. Then press enter twice. The script will run and a ship will spawn.

NOTE:
BOTH OF THESE METHODS WILL MAKE YOUR GAME ***MODIFIED***. Use at your own descretion.
