HS-LANDINGLOC-ATTRS

Landing locations are a generic type of HSpace object that allows ships to dock in the bays of other ships or to land on planets. Landing locations, like all HSpace objects, have attributes that can be set and retrieved. These are as follows:

Settable AND Gettable attributes:

• CODE  : Code required to land in the location.
• ACTIVE  : 1 if location is open for landing, 0 otherwise.
• CAPACITY  : Object size capacity of the location.
• MAX CAPACITY : Maximum object size capacity of the location.
• VISIBLE  : 1 if the location is visible on scan, 0 otherwise.

The "object size capacity" refers to the volume of the landing location and its ability to hold HSpace objects (i.e. ships). For each unit of "size capacity," the location can hold 1 unit of an HSpace object size. Thus, a landing location with a current capacity of 2 could hold two, size 1 objects or one, size 2 object. As objects (ships) enter and leave the landing location, the current capacity decreases and increases to reflect the space taken up in the location by the object.
