removing item

[muffildy]

hello.
i am trying to get my weapon to add an item, and remove it after a certain amount of time has passed.

This adds it just fine, it just doesnt remove it like i want it to.

I think the problem is because you are creating new item when you remove it:

Code: Select all

(objRemoveItem gSource (itmCreate 0XD0040018 1))

Try using a setq when you create it so that the game has a reference to which item you want removed. (Every item has a unique number for it)

can you paste that idea? It didnt seem to do anything when i added it

[Drako Slyith]

I mean when you create the item, use (setq WhateverYouCallTheItem (itmCreate UNID####))
Then, (itmRemove WhateverYouCallTheItem)

That might work. I haven't tested it, so I don't know.

a bunch of people on IRC helped fix it
i uploaded the new weapon idea to xelerus - the driftmoon

i was going to say you can add an expiration : crystals expire. you can usually find the codes you need or adapt the ones in the game pretty easy..
