scripting help needed

[harag9]

HI all.

I know there is a command that will find a stations that sells a resource

$station = find station sells: resource $ware with min. jumps: max.price=null, amount=$amount, max.jumps=null, startsector=[SECTOR], trader=[THIS]

I was wondering is they a command that returns an array of all stations that require a certain resource.

eg if I specify D.Wheat as the ware and max jumps as 3 I would like the script to return all the factories that need the wheat within the jump range

If you can tell the difference between 1st & 2ndary resources that would be nice as I want something like this returned

D.WHEAT REQUIRED REPORT:
1 stations within 0 jumps - primary
2 stations within 1 jumps - primary
1 stations within 1 jumps - secondary
3 stations within 3 jumps - secondary

failinng the above report just a
3 stations within 3 jumps require D.Wheat - primary
4 stations within 3 jumps require D.Wheat - secondary.

Script arguments.
select sector (central point)
select ware
select MAX jumps

thanks for any help.

No, you have to make that one yourself.

The only command that returns multible stations is "find station: sector", use it for getting all stations in a given sector, and then proceed to check if they use a specific resource. You have to use this command for all the sectors in your jumprange.
