We've noticed a few users are having problem receiving emails from TXU. If you have a Gmail, Hotmail, Live, Yahoo, AOL or other similar online webmail, check that your junk mail filter isn't reading TXU as Junk Mail.

At the moment, some of the above email addresses are also bouncing our activation emails, particularly Hotmail. We are working a way to remedy this problem, but would suggest using regular email addresses and not webmail for the time being.

[RetVar/IF][RefObj] catch ware object [Value]

Previous: @ [RetVar/IF][RefObj] move to ware object [Value] for collecting: timeout =[Var/Numbe

Next: @ [RetVar/IF][RefObj] move around [Var/Number] ms

This page is a chapter in the book Fly Commands.

[skip|else] if [not]|while [not]| [RetVar/IF] = [RefObj] catch ware object [Value]

Brings [Value] into the cargo bay of a ship once the ship has been put into position by use of the move to ware object for collecting instruction. The ware must be of a size class that the ship is capable of carrying, and the collecting ship must have enough room in its cargo bay for it. After executing this instruction, [Value] will be removed from the sector, whether or not the collecting ship has room for it.

Do not use this for illegal objects. While a TS can “catch” a ship, the ship will then be destroyed and the TS' cargo bay bugged until the maintype 7 cargo is deleted again.
Cargo pods can contain illegal wares when created by scripts.

Returns [TRUE] (1) if the ware is added to the collecting ship, [FALSE] (0) if the ware is not added to the collecting ship, or if any of the arguments are invalid.
