Gaining items script

Remove all ads!

So I have looked on 3 different forums before posting, so don't say I'm lazy or nothing. Anyway, what do I put, and where do I put it, if I want the party to "Gain an item" like during a quest dialog? In the .D? What do I input, the CLUA stuff?

 

Go look round the walkthroughs on this site, dan simpson has done a fantastic walkthrough and the several I down loaded it gave excellant info on what your looking for... beware tho once you start creating items... its addictive

 

@ Cold, do this:

In your .d file set up something like this:

Code:

IF ~Global("something","GLOBAL",0)~ THEN BEGIN 0
  SAY ~Do you want this item?~
  IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~Yes please.~ DO ~SetGlobal("something","GLOBAL",1)~ EXIT
END

replace something with whatever you want to.
you could also just replace the "IF ~Global("something","GLOBAL",0)~ THEN BEGIN 0" with "IF ~~ THEN BEGIN 1"

Make a new file called "something" (whatever):

Code:

IF
Global("something","GLOBAL",1)
HasItem("MISC52",Myself)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
GiveItem("MISC52",Player1)
SetGlobal("something","GLOBAL",2)
END

Save this as a .baf file and compile it with WeiDU (or the script compiler).

For this to work, you have to first Give the creature, NPC whatever the item via ShadowKeeper or CreatureMaker or whatever. Also note that you will have to assign the script itself to the .cre using CreatureMaker, or some such.

In the above mentioned example, the NPC will give whomever he talks to a Wyvern head, if he has this item.

If you're still confused, then try to post some more of your dialog, then I'll put in the reference to gain the item in that.

Gotcha, so it needs a new .baf file with the above commands and item code. Thanks, lots of dialog tutorials online, not to many script tutorials.

btw, I am assuming that in the line:

HasItem("MISC52",Myself)

Myself = NPC name

 

Well, no. You can put it into the creatures already existing script. As you set it to a global variable the give item will only occue if you select the right dialog options.

No, myself should just be "Myself".

 

Ah, I see. The .baf is the NPC's .baf, either a new one for a new NPC or appending an old one. Ok then, if I want them to take an item I would put down: TakeItem("MISC52",Player1)?

 

If you want your player to "take"/get the item the NPC has, then you will put it like I wrote above.

You could also simply create the item in the Inventory of your char, though it would still be on the NPC though.
