error in script

[KaK igrat v dotu?]

Hello, im write external function and when im trying to call it, its send error.

i think it didnt like this 'ns[file.toLowerCase()](hostName);' but idk why

Code:

var files = ['BruteSSH', 'FTPCrack', 'HTTPWorm', 'relaySMTP', 'SQLInject'];

for (var k = 0; k < files.length; k++) {
   var file = files[k];
                
   if (ns.fileExists(file+'.exe', 'home')) {
     ns[file.toLowerCase()](hostName);
   }
}

error

RUNTIME ERROR
money-checker.ns@home

Dynamic RAM usage calculated to be greater than initial RAM usage on fn: hackAnalyzeChance.
This is probably because you somehow circumvented the static RAM calculation.

Threads: 1
Dynamic RAM Usage: 3.35GB
Static RAM Usage: 3.30GB

One of these could be the reason:
* Using eval() to get a reference to a ns function
  const myScan = eval('ns.scan');

* Using map access to do the same
  const myScan = ns['scan'];

Sorry :(

is it bug?

i can send full files if it needed

`ns[file.toLowerCase()](hostName);`
This is not ok. There is a mechanism that makes you pay ram but using map access avoids it. So the game detects that and throws an error.

im not trying avoid ram abuse
im just trying to start external function

thats external part of script, weach im trying to start from another script

scripts.ns

export async function getAccessedServersList(ns, hostsList) {
    var hostListWithAccess = [];

    for (var i = 0; i < hostsList.length; i++) {
        var hostName = hostsList;
        var serverHackReq = ns.getServerRequiredHackingLevel(hostName);
        var myHackLVL = ns.getHackingLevel();

        if (!ns.hasRootAccess(hostName)) {
            ns.print('INFO: trying to get root.');

            var files = ['BruteSSH', 'FTPCrack', 'HTTPWorm', 'relaySMTP', 'SQLInject'];
            //var filess = ['brutessh', 'ftpcrack', 'httpworm', 'relaysmtp', 'sqlinject'];

            for (var k = 0; k < files.length; k++) {
                var file = files[k];
                //ns.print('INFO: file:' + file + '.exe exist:' + ns.fileExists(file+'.exe', 'home'));
                
                if (ns.fileExists(file+'.exe', 'home')) {
                    //ns.eval('ns.'+file.toLowerCase()+'('+hostName+')');
                    //var fSName = file.toLowerCase();
                    ns[file.toLowerCase()](hostName);
                    //eval('ns.scan');
                    //ns[]
                    //ns.eval
                }
            }

            if (ns.fileExists('BruteSSH.exe', 'home')) {
                ns.brutessh(hostName);
            }
            if (ns.fileExists('FTPCrack.exe', 'home')) {
                ns.ftpcrack(hostName);
            }
            if (ns.fileExists('HTTPWorm.exe', 'home')) {
                ns.httpworm(hostName);
            }
            if (ns.fileExists('relaySMTP.exe', 'home')) {
                ns.relaysmtp(hostName);
            }
            if (ns.fileExists('SQLInject.exe', 'home')) {
                ns.sqlinject(hostName);
            }

            try {
                ns.nuke(hostName);
                ns.print('INFO: ' + hostName + ' access');
            } catch {
                ns.print('ERROR: ' + hostName + ' not access');
                continue;
            }
        }
        if (ns.hasRootAccess(hostName) && serverHackReq <= myHackLVL) {
            hostListWithAccess.push(hostName);
        }
    }

    return hostListWithAccess;
}[/code]

and im start from another script
import * as sc from "scripts.ns";

export async function main(ns) {
    var exampleServersList = ['zer0','n00dles','silver-helix'];
    var serversWithAccess = sc.getAccessedServersList(ns,exampleServersList);
    ns.print(serversWithAccess);
}

try it

or you mean, i cant get access to fnc from map?

[hydroflame]

The problem is this line here

ns[file.toLowerCase()](hostName);

You can't do map access on the ns object. It's a special rule about this game.

You have to do specifically

ns.brutessh
ns.ftpcrack

etc.

You could also simple add this to the top of the function

ns.brutessh;ns.ftpcrack;ns.relaysmtp;ns.httpworm;ns.sqlinect

just so that the game recognizes that you WILL eventually call these functions and calculate the correct ram cost for your script.

It's an annoying side effect of the game mechanics.

[KaK igrat v dotu?]

oh ok, thx)
you do really nice game)

[In-sight-]

One way around this is you can force your script to "pay the price" for each of those functions by including at some point:

const _discard = [ns.brutessh, ns.ftpcrack, ns.httpworm, ns.relaysmtp, ns.sqlinject];

You'll notice the "RAM cost" of your script goes up.

Now you should be able to run

ns[file.toLowerCase()](hostName);

because the "static RAM cost" of those functions have been registered somewhere in the program, so it doesn't matter how you access them anymore - as long as it knows in advance you will be using them.
