So... Auto use on equip?

[AndakRainor]

I have a merchant who sells food. I gave two options; eat "on the spot" or "take away". If I can not use an item in the script, then I will have to remove the "on the spot" option, has it won't work for racial bonus food if I do not spawn an actual item and use it. So, is it possible ?

[Isaac]

You make something with the onEquipItem hook [spawn item, and assign it (addConnector) a hooked function in a script entity, then add it to the Champion's inventory]; and use the equipmentItem component to manually check info and cause the desired effects.

*Speculation.

In this situation, the desired effects are : update the food level of the champion (done, it works), execute the onUseItem function if it exists (done, it works / example : rotten_pitroot_bread has 50% chance to cause the diseased condition), AND then there is also the racial bonus effects but I have zero control over this part. It seems to be hard-coded. I mean the bonus stats a champion can get when a ratling eats cheese, a lizardman eats turtle eggs or an insectoid eats horned fruits. I have no idea how to do the same thing without the item being actually used manually by the player!

In my mod, I have some levels with several elevation. So I think that the automap isn't easy to read. I wonder if it is possible to script something to split the automap by elevation?

I don't know what all of those bonuses are offhand, but you can change the PC quite a bit with the champion functions, as far as stats go.

*Have you considered spawning the item onto the mouse? The player has to do something with it, they will probably use it. Might very likely swap it for a weapon and use it; then return the weapon.

Hello! I would like to read the resistAll value from an EquipmentItemComponent in a script. It seems it has no get or set function ? I can't access it as I do for example with EquipmentItemComponent:getResistFire(). Also how does this stat work ? Is it additive with for example resist fire ? From the values returned by getResistFire() it seems completly disconnected.

If I don't find a solution I will have no choice but to remove this stat from all items definitions and replace it with readable elemental resistances.

Here is an example of an object with this stat:

Code: Select all

defineObject{
	name = "mirror_chestplate",
	baseObject = "base_item",
	components = {
		{
			class = "Model",
			model = "assets/models/items/mirror_armor_chestplate.fbx",
		},
		{
			class = "Item",
			uiName = "Mirror Chestplate",
			description = "Light reflected off the polished metal discs on this chest plate shimmers and dances around in a strange fashion.",
			armorSet = "mirror",
			armorSetPieces = 5,
			gfxIndex = 239,
			weight = 8.0,
			traits = { "light_armor", "chest_armor" },
		},
		{
			class = "EquipmentItem",
			protection = 8,
			resistAll = 5,
		},
	},
}

I've not tried this, or looked into it yet, but what stops anyone from just reading all the resistances separately? Couldn't one even write a function in their script that returns all the resistance values for a given PC?

[AndakRainor]

Yes the resistances of the champion are correctly modified by the resistAll stat. But as in this script I inspect the values of a given item, I don't think I should swap equipped items to look at champion's stats and try to get a value for resistAll this way. It would be better to directly get this value from the item itself (EquipmentItemComponent).

Ah... there is my answer.

** However... if it all happened mid-frame, I don't believe it would be noticeable to the player.

I'm interested in the solution to this, because I'll probably be doing this myself soon.
