I'm working on a Planet Drop script and want to provide a Prelock option if interactive subprompts are active.

You can always use the lock decaying message to trigger the jump although it's a bit slower, sometimes with the delay it actually allows the trader to hit the fig and return before the jump is actually made. Of course it could give them time to call-save-me and have their planet there also.

If you activate the Ship Catalog - FedComm, Subspace, and Hailing Frequecies are available only if interactive subprompts are on. So you can test for interactive subprompts by sending `, ', or = and waiting for the corresponding message.

Code: # Get to the catalog send " qqqqza99999cc" waitFor "<Examine Ship Stats>" waitFor "Which ship are you interested in " # Set the triggers for the check setVar $ISP FALSE killtrigger qqprompt killtrigger ssprompt setTextLineTrigger ssprompt :ssprompt "Sub-space radio (" setTextLineTrigger qqprompt :qqprompt "<Quit>" # Send the check send "'qqqqqq" pause # Got the SS prompt! :ssprompt setVar $ISP TRUE pause # Done... :qqprompt killtrigger qqprompt killtrigger ssprompt if ($ISP = TRUE) echo "Interactive Sub-prompts are ON!" else echo "Interactive Sub-prompts are OFF!" end halt _________________ May the unholy fires of corbomite ignite deep within the depths of your soul... 1.

Code: setVar $TARGET 1 setTextLineTrigger NOPWARP :NOPWARP "This Citadel does not have a Planetary TransWarp Drive system" setTextLineTrigger NOLOCK :NOLOCK "You cannot " & #34 & "Blind Jump" & #34 & " a planet." setTextLineTrigger LOCK :LOCK "Locating beam pinpointed, TransWarp Locked." send "p"&$TARGET&"" pause :NOPWARP killalltriggers halt :NOLOCK killalltriggers halt :LOCK killAllTriggers setTextLineTrigger SPrompt :SPrompt "Sub-space radio" setDelayTrigger NPrompt :NPrompt 500 send "'" pause :NPrompt killAllTriggers send "n" waiton "Citadel" halt :SPrompt killAllTriggers send "Locked On!" waiton "Message sent on sub-space channel" _________________ ---------------------------- -= QUANTUM Computing 101: 15 = 3 x 5 ... 48% of the time.

So if you cont or cant .. then sub prompts are off. But thanks to those other ideas on detection .. I didn't know about the ship catalog was another area (saving a turn too) .
