This page will contain a legend for terms often used when talking about Transcendence functions and their syntax.
An atom is anything that is not a list. In Transcendence this boils down to numbers, strings, literals, primitives, and lambdas.
A list is an ordered sequence of atoms and/or other lists. Items can be added and removed from lists in place, and lists can be searched and accessed with various functions. There are many Transcendence functions that return lists of various kinds of game objects based on location and criteria.
Lists are the only container data structure available in transcendence. However, a list of lists such as ( (key1 value1) (key2 value2) …) can be used as a relational array with the (lookup) function.
Numbers in Transcendence are signed integers of a limited size (2^32-1?). They behave pretty much as integers could be expected to.
A literal is a sequence of non-whitespace characters or a parenthesis enclosure prefixed with a ' (apostrophe), such as 'theLiteral or '(literal (list)). Once created, a literal is indistinguishable from a string. Literals tend to be used when code-like tokens are desired, such as in (set 'name (objGetName theShip)), or (shpOrder theShip 'wait).
Trivia: The “q” in (setq) is short for “quote”, as the function is a shorthand for and optimization of (set 'varname data), or (set quote…).
A string is a sequence of characters surrounded by “ (double quotes). Strings are used for nearly all text output to the player, as well as for some internal utility.
Despite being sequences, strings are considered atoms, and most of the list manipulation functions do not work on them.
A lambda is a function stored as data: it is a list of arguments to take and an expression to substitute the arguments into. Typically that expression is a block, to allow for multiple sequential expressions and local variables, but this is not required.
If a lambda is referenced anywhere but as first element of a parenthesis contraption, it is considered data, so you can copy the functionality to another lambda or overwrite its containing variable with a different lambda. If a lambda is printed, its code is shown.
Lambdas-as-data are always truth values, regardless of their return values, so you can have variables containing optional functions (or nil) and gate their execution such as with (if a (a)) to avoid errors about expected function names.
A primitive is an in-built native function provided by Transcendence.exe to the tlisp environment, such as (for) or (if) or (objUnregisterForSystemEvents). There's not much you can do with primitives aside from call them, copy them to other names (e.g., (setq * multiply)), or accidentally mask them with variables ((setq list (list 10 20 30)) could give you no end of confusion, for example…).
This section needs to be expanded
Game object references are numbers or lists that represent specific instances or configurations of objects. They are internal representations that should be considered black boxes which can be created or retrieved, stored, and then passed back to functions that manipulate them, but never directly altered in script.
An itemStruct describes a specific qunatity of a specific item in a specific condition (installed, damaged, enhancement type/level, data set by itmSetData etc). They do not, however, represent a specific location of an item; 5 helium3 fuel rods on your ship will have the same itemStruct as 5 helium3 fuel rods stored on a Charon frigate.
A spaceObject is an instance of a station (star, planet, space station) or a ship that exists somewhere within the current system. As spaceObjects are thin carriers for C++ pointers, it's possible to crash the game by mishandling them. In particular, they can't be stored for longer than a single invocation of an event because they become invalid when the system changes (or possibly even when the objects are destroyed).
An objectID is a global and saveable reference to a specific spaceObject that can be safely stored in persistant data. You an create one for a given spaceObject with objGetID, and you can convert the ID back to an object with objGetObjByID, which simply returns 'nil' if the object is not currently or no longer available.
An item is considered unknown if the player does not know anything about the item except for its general type. Items are unknown at the start of the game if their ItemType definition has a unknownType=”<UNID>“ field, in which case they will appear as if they were of the unknownType until identified. (The engine will randomly pick one of the list of names given for each item type at startup.)
Some kinds of equipment will be identified when installed (such as cargo expansions) or used (such as weapons), but many types of item that use the identification feature need to set the known status in script. Once an item is known, via any means, the status cannot be revoked.
An item is considered referenced when is statistics (such as damage or resistance) are known by the player. This only applies to equipment items. Reference status cannot be revoked once applied.
While the functions to manage referenced status are still available, this feature has been unused since sometime around version 1.0 of Transcendence. All items are now natively referenced from the beginning of the game. The functions only appear in the Rowena's Weapons and Armor ROMs, which now never spawn.
When dealing with fonts in DockScreens there are several options. All of them use the Convection Font.
NAME FONT SIZE BOLD Small Convection 10 No Medium Convection 13 No MediumBold Convection 13 Yes MediumHeavyBold Convection 14 Yes Large Convection 16 No LargeBold Convection 16 Yes Header Convection 19 No HeaderBold Convection 19 Yes SubTitle Convection 26 No SubTitleBold Convection 26 Yes SubTitleHeavyBold Convection 28 Yes Title Convection 56 No LogoTitle Blue Island 60 No Console Lucida Console 14 No
These codes are used in various functions that need to check for or list spaceobjects.
G Stargates only G:xyz; Stargate with ID 'xyz' s Include ships t Include stations (including planets) T Include structure-scale stations T:xyz; Include stations with attribute 'xyz' A Active objects only (i.e., objects that can attack) B:xyz; Only objects with attribute 'xyz' D:xyz; Only objects with data 'xyz' E Enemy objects only F Friendly objects only H Only objects whose base = source M Manufactured objects only (i.e., no planets or asteroids) N Return only the nearest object to the source (this returns a list in ascending distance order) N:nn; Return only objects within nn light-seconds NN:nn; Return only nearest object if it's within nn light seconds (just combination of two above codes) O:abc; Ships whose order is abc [docked, patrol, escort etc...] P only objects visible to source J only objects from a given sovereign J:&unid; only objects of that sovereign K only objects that cannot attack R:nn; Return only objects greater than nn light-seconds away V Include Virtual objects Z Exclude player z Only include player b Beam Objects m Missile Objects X Objects targeting Source S:d returns objects sorted by distance (in ascending order) S:D returns objects sorted by distance (in descending order) I:angle returns only objects that intersect a line from the source at the given angle +xyz; Include objects with the given attribute -xyz; Exclude objects with the given attribute +unid:UNID Return ships of type UNID. +isPlayerClass:true/false Filter based on presence of PlayerSettings in object's type, ships only. +data:attribute Checks if (objGetData theObject 'attribute) is non-nil -data:attribute Checks if (objGetData theObject 'attribute) is nil
Note: Virtual stations are not searched by default through t; therefore you should use V as well if searching for a virtual station.
Moved to SpaceObject subsection.
These are codes used to enumerate types with the typFind function.
* = all types $ = currency UNID a = an adventureDesc UNID b = item table UNID c = effect type UNID d = dock screen UNID e = space environment UNID f = overlay UNID (apparently original name was 'energy field') g = globals UNID (currently returns nothing?) h = ship table UNID i = item type UNID m = image UNID n = system node UNID (currently returns nothing?) p = power UNID q = system table UNID s = ship class UNID t = station type UNID u = sound UNID (currently returns nothing?) v = sovereign UNID w = name generator UNID (currently returns nothing?) y = system type UNID z = system map UNID _ = template type UNID // We don't support enumerating template types (TSE/CDesignType.cpp) V = Include Virtual types +isPlayerClass:true/false = filters in/out ship classes with playersettings +unid:[a unid] = returns the requested unid if extant, or nil
Moved to DesignType subsection.
These flags are used for controlling the formatting of names of items, ships and stations.
Flags can be added together to create a certain formatting, ie. 3 would be pluralized and capitalized.
0x001 (1) = capitalize 0x002 (2) = pluralize 0x004 (4) = prefix with 'the' or 'a' 0x008 (8) = prefix with count (or 'a') 0x010 (16) = prefix with count 0x020 (32) = no modifiers 0x040 (64) = prefix with 'the' or 'this' or 'these' 0x080 (128) = short form of name 0x100 (256) = actual name
Damage types are represented as integers or hexadecimal values in script
-1 - Generic 0 (0x0) - Laser 1 (0x1) - Kinetic 2 (0x2) - Particle 3 (0x3) - Blast 4 (0x4) - Ion 5 (0x5) - Thermo 6 (0x6) - Positron 7 (0x7) - Plasma 8 (0x8) - Antimatter 9 (0x9) - Nano 10 (0xA) - Graviton 11 (0xB) - Singularity 12 (0xC) - DarkAcid 13 (0xD) - DarkSteel 14 (0xE) - DarkLightning 15 (0xF) - DarkFire
The game uses frequency values to say how often something appears in the game. The known values are:
* Common: 20 * Uncommon: 10 * Rare: 4 * VeryRare: 1
A string with series of 5 characters separated by spaces. Each character represents a level. '-' means no chance for an occurance at that level. 'c' means it is common for an occurance at that level. 'u' means it is uncommon for an occurance at that level. 'r' means it is rare for an occurance at that level and 'v' means it is very rare for an occurance at that level.
An example LevelString would be
vrucu rv---
Which translates to
In practice this means more level 4 items will be generated than level 5 and 3, which in turn will generate more than level 2 and 6, which in turn will generate more than level 1 and 7.

When you retrieve the category of an item in script, it is given as an integer. The category can be inferred from this list:
1 (0x0001) - Misc Item 2 (0x0002) - Armor 4 (0x0004) - Weapon 8 (0x0008) - Special Devices (Patch Spider, Jumpdrive, Enhancers) 16 (0x0010) - Missile Launcher 64 (0x0040) - Reactor 128 (0x0080) - Shield 256 (0x0100) - Cargo bay 512 (0x0200) - Fuel 1024 (0x0400) - Ammo 2048 (0x0800) - Drive 4096 (0x1000) - Useable
When retrieving items based on item criteria, these are the flags used:
* all categories a armor b miscellaneous devices (Patch Spider, Jumpdrive, Enhancers) c cargo hold d device (weapon, shield, drive, etc.) f fuel l launcher m missile/ammo p weapon, primary (excluding launchers, same as w~l) r reactor s shields t miscellaneous u useable (armor coating, ROM, etc.) v drive w weapon (including launchers) I is installed D is damaged N is not damaged S is usable V is Virtual U is not installed
Some special attributes
canBeDamaged:true only items that can be damaged damageType:Laser only items that have a certain damage type. Also limits to weapons (obviously) unid:0xXXXX only items with matching UNID
In addition there exists a special syntax for negating, filtering on levels etc…
~ Negate. Eg. w~l will match weapons that are not launchers. ^ Force. Eg. a^u will match armors that are usable < and > Less than and Greater than. There are several ways to use these operators <=$500 Items that cost less than 500 credits >=#25 Items where there are greater than 25 in the stack. Used when getting items from objects <=6 Items below level 6 L New in 1.04. Level Constraint. Eg. L:1-5 selects levels between 1 and 5 (inclusive). Replaces above syntax. F Rarity. Eg. F:cu will only select Common or Uncommon items
