Item degrigation

[Tyler]

Hi all trying create weapon/armour degrigation, i think i have the created it but having an issue diplaying the current varabe amount..was looking at one of two ways, 1 in the item description text  or 2 upon hit in a chat windpw, neither of which i seem to be able to get to work, which make it hard to test if it works, it has a contition to remove item use if condition is 0 or less, (not unequip which would cause another issue but can test it yet.

 the simplest way to show that im trying to do is to link a google doc .

Hi, What you are trying to do is possible but will be a lot of work overall and wont be that efficient. Doing a source edit would be better to make this an actual function.

 

Here are some issues you will come across using events to do this:

• You cant use \pv{variable} inside the descriptions of items/spells and such (I might raise this as a feature request as could be useful)
• You will need to create a variable for each item you want durability
• Need to consider what happens if the player has two of the same weapon/armour, using player variables will mean same items will have the same durability
• Setting the durability on pickup randomly: this will allow players to just drop the item and pick it back up for new durability? unless you make the items non droppable

Thanks for the Answer Ainz,

lots to think about. I didnt think about it changing the for all items, might have to work out how to identify if it is equipped

Hey Tyler,

Yeah, durability with events is a bit tricky. Like Ainz mentioned, using player variables means all of the same item will share the same durability, which can be a problem if someone has more than one.

If you're testing with just one item right now, maybe try using a common event to check if it's equipped and show the variable in a chat message when hitting something. That way, at least you can see if it's going down properly.

Long term, a source edit might be the cleanest way to make durability work right, especially if you want it per item. But for testing, keeping it simple and just showing the number in chat might help.

Good luck with it, interested to see how you get it working!
