Making terranite arrows being overweight

Post by Piateluca »

I accidentally made some while being overweight and I'm not really sure if the dialog prevented me telling me that i was overweight since I didn't read ( :oops: ) but what I want to point out is that the arrows dropped in the floor, I went back to storage to go back and "make the arrows" and there I noticed the arrows were in the floor. Is there a way to prevent this? I remember that Ishi dropped stuff in the floor when the user was overweight and then got corrected, maybe the same mechanism could work with the Terra arrows npc.

Thanks :oops:

Is this the same as being able to drop empty bottles in town?
It's done this way:
1. have 100 items in inventory
2. more than one water in inventory
3. no empty bottles in inventory
4. use water
This IS a sig

one of these days I'll remove the pesky limit of 100 items, and also make equippable items stack ...

That would be more awsome than you know... seriously the 100 item limit sucks. It would be nice if the armour was stackable in the storage as well. Its bad when 300 is your limit and its filled with armour materials. D:

Ironically, the reason I can't just make everything stackable right now is because of the 100 item limit. Well, unless someone did a review of all scripts that grant items to check that their deletion logic doesn't assume that it vacates a slot ...

It might be easier to just have a policy not to give any items if you have 90 items in inventory. Since I don't think there is any script that gives more than 10 items in one shot.

How feasible would it be to have an internal function such as testAwardItem(player, item), along with an interface exposed to the scripts, that simply bails out with a "false" if the transfer would fail for any reason: 100 items and no existing slot to stack with, no room under the weight cap, or (possibly) the player already owns 32,767 copies of the item? That would allow all calls that check for quest rewards to use the same unified syntax, and be assured of catching everything.

The idea behind the current logic of dropping it on the ground if it can't go in the inventory is that the item will never disappear due to buggy scripts.

There *is* a pre-function checkweight, but in general this is not useful since a transaction involves both deleting and adding items.

Eat your vegatables, drink your milk, and exercise. Those should all make you stronger. Seriously though, who walks around at near 100% weight capacity?

@LordDune When I was using an archer for luvia I had almost 18 kg almost all the time. I kinda liked that "style" of playing, carrying arround 5k arrows, 100 potions of each, good times :mrgreen:


More seriously thought, please close topics that had been solved, since it prevent hijacking threads, and helps a lot in organization....
