NPCs dropping crates when OOS

[memia]

Hey All,
I was wondering whether anyone would know if the logic that controls whether a ship drops a crate is located in any of the usual script files?

I've noticed (in my game anyway) that ships and stations that are destroyed OOS do not seem to drop crates at all. Is this congruent with everyone else's experience?

I would like destroyed ships to drop crates OOS and need to have a look at the code that controls this. I've had a decent look through the script files but can't see it.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Ships/stations that are destroyed OOS do not drop anything. That's not controlled by scripts, but hardcoded. You could probably script something by tying a script to SIGNAL_ATTACKED and/or SIGNAL_KILLED getting all the wares in the cargo room of a ship and randomly eject some before its destroyed or create respective flying wares (in containers).

That works indeed, the loot system in xtc uses this method.

Thanks, both.

I'll start work as per your suggestion X2-Illuminatus.
