Module commodity

Lua bindings to interact with commodities.

This will allow you to create and manipulate commodities in-game.

An example would be:

 c = commodity.get( "Food" ) -- Gets the commodity by name
 if c:price() > 500 then


-- Do something with high price


 end

Functions

__eq (o1, o2)

Checks to see if two commodities are the same.

Parameters:

• o1 Commodity First commodity to compare.
• o2 Commodity Second commodity to compare.

Returns:

boolean true if both commodities are the same.

Usage:

if o1 == o2 then -- Checks to see if commodity o1 and o2 are the same

get (s)

Gets a commodity.

Parameters:

• s string Raw (untranslated) name of the commodity to get.

Returns:

Commodity or nil The commodity matching name or nil if error.

Usage:

s = commodity.get( "Food" ) -- Gets the food commodity

getStandard ()

Gets the list of standard commodities.

Returns:

table A table containing commodity objects, namely those which are standard (buyable/sellable anywhere).

flags ()

Gets the flags that are set for a commodity.

Returns:

table A table containing the flags as key and value as boolean.

name (c)

Gets the translated name of the commodity.

This translated name should be used for display purposes (e.g. messages). It cannot be used as an identifier for the commodity; for that, use commodity.nameRaw() instead.

Parameters:

• c Commodity Commodity to get the translated name of.

Returns:

string The translated name of the commodity.

Usage:

commodityname = c:name() -- Equivalent to `_(c:nameRaw())`

nameRaw (c)

Gets the raw (untranslated) name of the commodity.

This untranslated name should be used for identification purposes (e.g. can be passed to commodity.get()). It should not be used directly for display purposes without manually translating it with _().

Parameters:

• c Commodity Commodity to get the raw name of.

Returns:

string The raw name of the commodity.

Usage:

commodityrawname = c:nameRaw()

price (c)

Gets the base price of an commodity.

Parameters:

• c Commodity Commodity to get information of.

Returns:

number The base price of the commodity.

Usage:

print( c:price() ) -- Prints the base price of the commodity

priceAt (c, p)

Gets the base price of an commodity on a certain spob.

Parameters:

• c Commodity Commodity to get information of.
• p Spob Spob to get price at.

Returns:

number The price of the commodity at the spob.

Usage:

if c:priceAt( spob.get("Polaris Prime") ) > 100 then -- Checks price
of a commodity at polaris prime

priceAtTime (c, p, t)

Gets the price of an commodity on a certain spob at a certain time.

Parameters:

• c Commodity Commodity to get information of.
• p Spob Spob to get price at.
• t Time Time to get the price at.

Returns:

number The price of the commodity at the spob.

Usage:

if c:priceAtTime( spob.get("Polaris Prime"), time ) > 100 then --
Checks price of a commodity at polaris prime

canSell (c, where)

Sees if a commodity can be sold at either a spob or system.

It does not check faction standings, only if it is possible to sell at a spob or a system (checking all spobs in the system).

Parameters:

• c Commodity Commodity to check.
• where Spob or System Either a spob or a system to see if the commodity can be sold there.

canBuy (c, where)
