VesselParameterGroup Parameter

VesselParameterGroup

The VesselParameterGroup parameter is used to group several child vessel parameters together. It can also be used to specify a duration for which the parameters must be true, and will track across non-active vessels. Note that when used without a VesselParameterGroup parent parameter, vessel parameters will only track the current active vessel.

PARAMETER
{
    name = VesselParameterGroup
    type = VesselParameterGroup

    // The duration that the conditions must be satisfied for.  Can specify
    // values in years (y), days (d), hours (h), minutes (m), seconds (s) or
    // any combination of those.
    //
    // Type:      Duration
    // Required:  No
    //
    duration = 10d 2h

    // Define the name of the craft that will complete this parameter group.
    // Once a craft completes the group, it will be associated with the
    // given key, which can then be referenced in other parameters.  The
    // Vessel <=> key association is persistent, and can be used in future
    // contracts.
    //
    // Type:      string
    // Required:  No
    //
    define = Vessel Key

    // The name of a list (stored in the persistent data store) to add the
    // vessel to.  This can then be referenced later using the name as a global
    // variable.  For example, the vessel list below can be identified as a
    // List name $MyVesselList.
    //
    // Type:      string
    // Required:  No
    //
    defineList = MyVesselList

    // Lock this parameter so that it can only be accomplished by the
    // specified craft.  Note that the name is a "define" name set via
    // the define key in a *different* VesselParameterGroup parameter
    // (which can be in the same contract, or a different one).  This
    // attribute can be specified multiple times to allow multiple vessel
    // to be available to complete the parameter.
    //
    // Type:      VesselIdentifier
    // Required:  No (multiples allowed)
    //
    vessel = Vessel Key
    vessel = Some other vessel

    // By default if one or more vessels have been specified via the vessel
    // attribute, a child parameter will be created to indicate the vessel to
    // the player.  Set this attribute to true to hide that parameter.
    //
    // Type:      bool
    // Required:  No (defauled)
    // Default:   false
    //
    hideVesselName = false

    // If the contract completes successfully, whether to remove any associated
    // vessels set via the define attribute.  Use this for contracts where you
    // don't want the vessel tracked into other contracts (especially true if
    // you want the contract to be repeatable).
    //
    // Type:      bool
    // Required:  No (defauled)
    // Default:   false
    //
    dissassociateVesselsOnContractCompletion = false

    // If the contract fails, whether to remove any associated vessels
    // set via the define attribute.
    //
    // Type:      bool
    // Required:  No (defauled)
    // Default:   true
    //
    dissassociateVesselsOnContractFailure = true

    // The title text to display.
    //
    // Type:      string
    // Required:  No (defaulted)
    // Default:   Vessel: Any; Duration: <duration>
