Reusing Flasks

[LordGarth]

Hello all,

Dont know if someone has posted this already but if you want to be able to reuse flasks like in the original DM then here is the code that will spawn one in front of the party on the floor.
It will work even if you are facing a wall. It spawns an empty flask in the same square as the party and you wont have to find a new flask everytime you want to make a new healing pot.

Just add this code

if party.facing == 0 then
spawn("flask", party.level, party.x, party.y, party.facing)
end
if party.facing == 1 then
spawn("flask", party.level, party.x, party.y, party.facing)
end
if party.facing == 2 then
spawn("flask", party.level, party.x, party.y, party.facing)
end
if party.facing == 3 then
spawn("flask", party.level, party.x, party.y, party.facing)
end
where I have inserted it below.

defineObject{
name = "potion_healinghi",
class = "Item",
uiName = "High Healing Potion",
model = "assets/models/items/flask_full.fbx",
gfxIndex = 146,
consumable = true,
potion = true,
weight = 0.6,
onUseItem = function(self, champion)
playSound("consume_potion")
champion:modifyStat("health", 125)
if party.facing == 0 then
spawn("flask", party.level, party.x, party.y, party.facing)
end
if party.facing == 1 then
spawn("flask", party.level, party.x, party.y, party.facing)
end
if party.facing == 2 then
spawn("flask", party.level, party.x, party.y, party.facing)
end
if party.facing == 3 then
spawn("flask", party.level, party.x, party.y, party.facing)
end
return true
end,


}

Thx,

Uhm...in my game flasks don't disappear when I drink a potion.

[LordGarth]

Maybe it is custom potions. I will check on that.

I assumed you were talking about custom potions, and how to recreate the same function as the original game potions

[HaunterV]

must be, cause my flasks dont up and vanish either.... although if someone can make one of these little guys;

and have them be super small, like to the size of fitting in them grates on the bottom of some wall sections. Then we can have our explanation as to where custom potion flasks go to.

[LordGarth]

It is custom potions. I have used the regular healing potion and the empty flask is returned to the same inventory slot. With my new custom healing potions, the flask just dissappears after drinking the pot.

There must be a hard coded script that gets inventory slot and upon use of a list of potions. It spawns a flask in the inventory slot.

Ignore the below

I used this problem as a test case for the new version of GrimQ I did just now (and it worked, it was a good test case ).

Don't worry if you don't get the query part, setup the grimq library in your dungeon (a matter of copy and paste as detailed in the pdf) and you can use this for the custom flasks (if you want of course )

Code: Select all

		onUseItem = function(item, champion)
			local obj = grimq.fromChampionInventoryEx(champion, true):where(grimq.has("item", item)):first()
			obj:replace(spawn("flask"))
			return false
		end

This replaces the item with an empty flask right there in the champion inventory. in the right slot

EDIT: This has a problem with items in sacks/crates even if in theory it handles them . Tomorrow I'll check how it can be done sigh. Sadly containers do not have a removeItem method

@HaunterV: thanks, I lost 2 hours with my brain stuck on "what game had that *#!@##! imp" ? Now I remember! The golden deodorant

[Ancylus]

Giving your custom potions the parameter emptyItem = "flask" should do the trick.

[Komag]

Are you serious, it's that simple?!

[LordGarth]

Yep I tried it and it works.

Thx alot
