Functions

__eq (a1, a2)

Compares two asteroids to see if they are the same.

Parameters:

• a1 Asteroid Asteroid 1 to compare.
• a2 Asteroid Asteroid 2 to compare.

Returns:

boolean true if both asteroids are the same.

getAll ()

Gets all the asteroids in the system.

Returns:

table t A list of all asteroids in the system.

get (If)

Gets an asteroid in the system.

Parameters:

• If nil, number, Vector or Pilot not supplied, gets a random asteroid, if not it tries to get the asteroid closest to the Vector or Pilot. In the case of a number, it tries to get a random asteroid from the asteroid field with the number as an id.

Returns:

Asteroid The closest asteroid or nil if not found.

exists (a)

Checks to see if an asteroid exists.

Parameters:

• a Asteroid Asteroid to check to see if exists.

Returns:

boolean true if te asteroid exists, false otherwise.

state (a)

Gets the state of an asteroid.

Parameters:

• a Asteroid Asteroid to check state of.

Returns:

string State of the asteroid. Can be one of "FG", "XB", "BX", "XX_TO_BG", "FG_TO_BG", "BG_TO_FG", "BG_TO_XX", or "XX".

state (a, s)

Sets the state of an asteroid.

Parameters:

• a Asteroid Asteroid to set state of.
• s string State to set. Has to be one of "FG", "XB", "BX", "XX_TO_BG", "FG_TO_BG", "BG_TO_FG", "BG_TO_XX", or "XX".

field (a)

Gets the field the asteroid belongs to (useful for getting more asteroids from the same field).

Parameters:

• a Asteroid Asteroid to get what field it belongs to.

Returns:

number ID of the field the asteroid belongs to.

pos (a)

Gets the position of an asteroid.

Parameters:

• a Asteroid Asteroid to get position of.

Returns:

Vector Position of the asteroid.

vel (a)

Gets the velocity of an asteroid.

Parameters:

• a Asteroid Asteroid to get velocity of.

Returns:

Vector Position of the asteroid.

setPos (a, v)

Sets the position of an asteroid.

Parameters:

• a Asteroid Asteroid to set position of.
• v vec2 Position to set to.

setVel (a, v)

Sets the velocity of an asteroid.

Parameters:

• a Asteroid Asteroid to set velocity of.
• v vec2 Velocity to set to.

scanned (a)

Gets whether or not an asteroid got scanned.

Parameters:

• a Asteroid Asteroid to get scanned state of.

Returns:

boolean Whether or not the asteroid was scanned.

timer (a)

Gets the time left on the asteroid.

Parameters:

• a Asteroid Asteroid to get time left on.

Returns:

1. number Seconds left before the asteroid is unavailable.
2. number Total number of seconds the asteroid had to live.

setTimer (a, Time)

Sets the time left on the asteroid.

Parameters:

• a Asteroid Asteroid to set time left of.

Returns:

number Armour left before the asteroid is destroyed.

setTimer (a, Amount)

Sets the armour of the asteroid.

Parameters:

• a Asteroid Asteroid to set armour of.
• Amount number to set the armour to (negative values will explode it).
