purchaseServer() Netscript Function
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
.. js:function:: purchaseServer(hostname, ram)
|
|
|
|
:RAM cost: 2.25 GB
|
|
:param string hostname: Hostname of the purchased server.
|
|
:param number ram: Amount of RAM of the purchased server. Must be a power of
|
|
2. Maximum value of :doc:`getPurchasedServerMaxRam<getPurchasedServerMaxRam>`
|
|
:returns: The hostname of the newly purchased server. Empty string on failure.
|
|
|
|
Purchases a server with the specified hostname and amount of RAM.
|
|
|
|
The ``hostname`` argument can be any data type, but it will be converted to
|
|
a string and have whitespace removed. Anything that resolves to an empty
|
|
string will cause the function to fail. If there is already a server with
|
|
the specified hostname, then the function will automatically append a number
|
|
at the end of the ``hostname`` argument value until it finds a unique
|
|
hostname. For example, if the script calls ``purchaseServer("foo", 4)`` but
|
|
a server named "foo" already exists, the it will automatically change the
|
|
hostname to "foo-0". If there is already a server with the hostname "foo-0",
|
|
then it will change the hostname to "foo-1", and so on.
|
|
|
|
Note that there is a maximum limit to the amount of servers you can purchase.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: javascript
|
|
|
|
const ram = 64;
|
|
const name = "pserv-";
|
|
for (const i = 0; i < 5; ++i) {
|
|
ns.purchaseServer(name + i, ram);
|
|
}
