iTrafficCreation and iScriptedOrders

// hsim where = iSim.Cast( //your spewer on the station) // Assumption: the spewer has a dock port // you'll need some kind of polling function to trigger the task task SwallowMultiplePods(hsim where) { hship tough_luck; list unlucky_pods = List.FromSet ( iSim.SimsInRadius ( iSim.Cast ( where ), 10000, T_CargoPod ) ); int j, pods_around = List.ItemCount ( unlucky_pods ); hobject dead_meat; for (j=0;j<pods_around;++j) { dead_meat = List.GetNth( unlucky_pods, j ); tough_luck = iShip.Cast(dead_meat); iShip.InstallAIPilot(tough_luck); iAI.GiveDockOrder(tough_luck, where); while (! iSim.IsDocked( tough_luck )) { Task.Sleep( Task.Current(), 0.5 ); } Sim.SetHidden( tough_luck, true ); Sim.Destroy ( tough_luck); } } That'll dock all the pods within 10km range of the spewer one after the other, and as they are docked, silently remove them from the game. To make freighters undock thier pods when they are within 10 km radius of the spewer you could use the same method of creating a list of sims, but in this case use T_Freighter as the identifier (instead of T-CargoPod as shown above) Once you have created a list of the freighter(s) in the radius of you could use this: ship = iShip.Cast(//the ship you found in the list); pod_count = Sim.ChildCount(ship ); if (pod_count != 0) { for ( n = 0; n< pod_count; ++n ) { iShip.UndockSelf(ship); } } Note: A)you do have to give the ship an undock command for [u]each[/u] pod in this case. 2)Any ship in the radius that is docked to a structure will also undock itself, so you might want to check if thats the case and exclude it from the undock routine 3)Some ships may have the Docking latch on, so you might want to unlock them like this: pod_count = Sim.ChildCount(ship ); for ( n = 0; n< pod_count; ++n ) { sim2 = Sim.NthChild( ship, n ); iSim.SetDockingLock( iSim.Cast( ship ), iSim.Cast( sim2 ), false ); } Note: yep, you have to unlock each pod individually
