Random items but same level in box

[DigaRW]

You know Joker Box mod? I want to reworking that mod and turn it into Strongbox mod. I'm using the code from contraband box, but I don't know the code that will add one (only one) items, and it has same level with the box. So, what the code?

[RPC]

Try (objAddItem obj item|type [count])
(objAddItem gPlayership (ItmCreate &ITEMUNIDHERE; 1))

[DigaRW]

Try (objAddItem obj item|type [count])
(objAddItem gPlayership (ItmCreate &ITEMUNIDHERE; 1))

Where?

[RPC]

How do you want to add the item? You can check out dock screens for reference when you buy items.

I mean the box contain random items that have same level with it.
Example:
-If Box contain MajorItem.
The level 1 Strongbox will give one random device like Laser Cannon, Recoilless Cannon, Class I Deflector, and Laser Collimator.
-If Box contain MinorItem
The level 1 Strongbox will give four (default) random items, like titanium armor, light titanium armor, and Ablative barrel.

Let's try this :

it's an Item, yes?

you can do it two ways:

A) as Events on the Item

B) as part of the Use (Invoke ) / dock screen ( ammo boxes / sealed cargo container )

First Question is " what is in there?"

you suggest Armor .....ok, Unless you want VERY specific items to be given you can go with a random pull ( StdTypes.xml )

If you want specific items only : you can build your own table &trMyStuff; ( like with weapons or ships ) and have them pull up based on chances.


now here is the easiest way to get this done if we are not being very helpful :
Give us what you have for the item : so we can see what you are working with and that will make our 'help' more useful.

Nah, the box contain random items, but the items same level with the box. I want it can stick with other mod so their items was included in the box.
But however, I recently have made it myself. The frequency set them to stick with their level.
Example:
I'm made a White StrongBox, with the code in the items:

Code: Select all

<Invoke>
(block (count strongBoxItems) 
(setq strongBoxItems (itmCreateRandom "* +MajorItem;" "c---- -----"))
(setq strongBoxItems (itmCreate (itmGetType strongBoxItems) 1))

(objAddItem gSource strongBoxItems)

(objRemoveItem gSource gItem 1))
</Invoke>

But I have no idea to place "or" code, so the box will give either MajorItem (count 1) or MinorItem (count 4).

 I think the way you would have to do it would be with an “if” before you actually did the item creation code. Something like:

Code: Select all

(if (eq (random 1 2) 1)
  «MajorItem creation code»
  «MinorItem creation code»
)

Thanks AP, I'll try it.
