Sys_Does_Empire_Have_Ability Function

Hey Kwok (and other modders)

I'm trying to make it so races with the 'natural merchants' ability dont build space ports. So I used the Sys_Does_Empire_Have_Ability function to check if the empire has the ability

I have tried both the following:

set str := "Natural Merchants" set natural_merchant := Sys_Does_Empire_Have_Ability(sys_long_Player_ID, str)

set natural_merchant := Sys_Does_Empire_Have_Ability(sys_long_Player_ID, "Natural Merchants")

With no success. It comes back false even though the empire does have this ability.

Script_AI_Construction.txt(1472): Call Sys_Does_Empire_Have_Ability(long[1], string[Natural Merchants]) Script_AI_Construction.txt(1472): Set natural_merchant(boolean[FALSE]) := boolean[FALSE]

Any thoughts? Or any other way to get around this? Thanks
