Extracting Position from Cargo Type Scope in NML

[Aischri]

Hi,

Basically what I'm trying to do is to find someway to change the return value of the profit callback of a cargo with respect to the cargo's delivery location. E.g. extra profit for transporting a cargo to a snowy mountain town or something like that. However I can't for the life of me think of anyway to do it. I'm still new to NML so is there something obvious I'm missing or is it impossible?

Thanks

No, it's not possible. You can change payment based on time and distance travelled, but there's no way to determine where on the map a cargo is delivered to.

Awww, that's a shame. Thank you though.

I looked, there's no parent scope for cargo varaction 2.

That means the callback can only access the variables for the cargo, and those listed explicitly for the callback.

Cargo payment rates that can change (e.g. per town) would be a nice pony to have. I wouldn't expect it any time soon though

for example..
GScript ,,+ Subsidy ((Town)),, ≈ 3* profit
