Getting npc's to scan for items other than commodities

As the title suggests, i'm trying to get the npc's to scan for something else, other than commodities.

I want them to scan for a shield in particular. So in faction_prop.ini where all this takes place, can i add a line, something along these lines?

scan_for_cargo = commodity_alien_artifacts, 1

and add a new line like this one,

scan_for_cargo = shield02_mark06_lf, 1

Bear in mind it's been years since i did any modding, but i'm releasing a new version of my Genesis mod with loads of fixes and wanted to add something to be scanned that i left in the multiplayer version. I created some faction licences as shields so you could mount them on you ship and want the various factions to scan for them in the OSP version.

I'll give that a go and report back. Thanks for the tip

Turns out this works. You can have the factions scan for equipment as well. I have these player licences defined as shields as i mentioned before, and also in st_goods.ini as i have them defined there so you can purchase them so you can mount them on a unique hardpoint to display your licence. Who knew?

Yes they do. I had the licence mounted at the time and they still scanned me
