Template:Drop/doc

This is a documentation subpage for the Template:Drop page.

Purpose

Template used for storing items and their drop locations in Cargo.

Parameter List

{{Drop
|source      <!-- The source of the drop. Only accepts a string, maximum 32 characters. -->
|table_label <!-- The label of the table (e.g. "Clear Box", "Area Drops", "Mid-Mission Box", etc). Used to disambiguate sub-sources within a source. Only accepts a string, maximum 32 characters. -->
|item_id     <!-- The ID of the item. Only accepts a string, maximum 8 characters. -->
|tickets     <!-- The number of tickets allocated for the item, as an integer. -->
}}

Notes

• If used in a namespace, the store will fail with notice.
• If any invalid arguments are provided, the store will silently fail.
  • It is not known to me, at this time, if it is possible to make Cargo return an error if validation fails without duplicating the logic into the Drop template itself. As a stopgap, viewing page values will detail what fields are being sent to Cargo.
• Additionally, if any stores are rejected on a page using this template, all subsequent stores (using this template?) on said page will automatically fail.
