event.starclass not working in Cottle

[sefemir]

event.starclass from "next jump" event doesn't seem to work in EDDI's script. Meaning that event.starclass works in Voiceattack and as a event just not when I'm trying to use it in EDDI's script. Unless I'm missing something, "starclass" itself won't turn blue when typing it in EDDI'S script.
what im trying to do is to take nextsystem.scoopable and event.starclass for a script to see if the next system in route is scoopable and if it is, whether it is the main star or not.

This works for me:

It may help if you elaborate on how you are trying to use the variable?

Additionally, there will be an update to the default scripts in the next update that I think will accomplish what you are trying to do as far as obtaining details about stars in the arrival system when you begin charging your FSD (or very nearly - at present it will warn if there are hazardous stars near to system entry point or if there are no scoopable stars in the system).

This should give you an idea of how I'm trying to accomplish this:

basically by using nextsystem.scoopable I'll be able to know if the next system in route is scoopable regardless if it's the main star or not. Then, I'll use event.starclass to determine if the main star is O, B, A, F, G, K or M, that way I'll know if the next system's main star is scoopable. Incase the event.starclass is not within the previously mentioned classes, then the system has atleast 1 or more scoopable stars but not the main one.
"mainstar" is there to simplify things to true and false.
"mainstar" becomes true if event.starclass is within the scoopable classes.
"mainstar" becomes false if event.starclass is not within the scoopable classes.

I initially was going to do this in Voiceattack but I was not sure if nextsystem.scoopable can be directly used in Voiceattack.

Ah. {event.starclass} is only set during a Next jump event. You'll need to use SetState() if you want to save the value and reference it in a different script.

Aha, got it. I'll see what I can do, thanks.
