Use item to create another item.. need help :P

[vanblam]

Ive been trying to create item, that once use it , it will be replaced by another item. This is how I'm trying it but not successfully lol. I am a total scripting newb! so this will probably look very wrong

Code: Select all

defineObject{
	name = "glass_ball",
	baseObject = "base_item",
	components = {
		{
			class = "Model",
			model = "assets/models/items/power_gem.fbx",
		},
		{
			class = "Item",
			uiName = "Tome of Health",
			description = "A thick glass ball, somthing seems to be inside.",
			gfxIndex = 157,
			weight = 2.0,
			traits = { "ball" },
		},
		{
			class = "UsableItem",
			sound = "level_up",
			onUseItem = function(self, champion)
				hudPrint(champion:getName().."found an Iron Key")
				champion:insertItem(7, iron_key)
				return true
			end,
		},
	},
}

Every time I use the item I get.

bad argument #2 to 'insertItem' (ItemComponent expected, got ???)

You can of course spawn it by some scripting, but maybe easier solution is just to use emptyItem and then regulery define the new spawned item

Code: Select all

		{
          class = "UsableItem",
          emptyItem = "rock", -- this will spawn rock when right-clicked on the item
          sound = "level_up",
		},

Awesome that worked like a charm .. thank you.
Also just wondering how could I add a message to that?

Never mind I answered my own question haha.

Code: Select all

defineObject{
	name = "glass_ball",
	baseObject = "base_item",
	components = {
		{
			class = "Model",
			model = "assets/models/items/power_gem.fbx",
		},
		{
			class = "Item",
			uiName = "Tome of Health",
			description = "A thick glass ball, somthing seems to be inside.",
			gfxIndex = 157,
			weight = 2.0,
			traits = { "ball" },
		},
		{
			class = "UsableItem",
                        emptyItem = "iron_key", -- this will spawn an Iron Key when right-clicked on the item
			onUseItem = function(self, champion)
				hudPrint("You found an Iron Key")
			end,
			sound = "level_up",
		},
	},
}
