How to detect a player misjump?

[LinuxOnTheDesktop]

I can tell when there will be a scripted misjump (-- I can do so via - player.ship.scriptedMisjump--) but what a player misjump howsoever caused, please?

There is no way of knowing if the player will have non-scripted misjump, apart from checking whether the player is pitching up/down during the shipWillEnterWitchspace event. For a misjump that happens due to low maintenance, there is no way of knowing beforehand.

Thanks, phkb. Might I request that there become a way of knowing? For, I have a worldscript that does work, on playerWillEnterWitchspace, in preparation for a misjump; so that work is wasted if there will actually be a misjump.

Given the variety of ways that a misjump can happen, would it not make more sense to use the interstellarSpaceWillPopulate populator event to do any work in interstellar space?

Especially as, sometimes, mission scripts might want to override the default interstellarSpaceWillPopulate event, which would then include your tweaks by default.

I think you are right. Thank you very much. It's going to involve a fairly large refactoring of my script, but my script will be better for it!
