In my grand plan to rewrite alchemy, I am removing the entire original skill menu and replacing it with recipes gumps. Basically, you create the potions off the "recipe gump" instead of the skill menu.

I completely disabled the normal alchemy skillmenu, and the only way to trigger MAKEITEM is via the recipe scrolls I created. But, I'm having one small problem.

When the player moves away from the recipe item, I'd like the gump to close (Like how containers do when you walk away from them). Because I can't get the gump to close when someone leaves behind the recipe, it's allowing players to just leave the gump open. Assuming they never close the gump, the recipe itself is no longer required in the process and can be left behind.

To get around that, I have to do a RESTEST to see if they have the recipe on their person. That works great! But I'd like people to "read" recipes locked down in the alchemy stores or in other player's houses so they can "borrow" the recipes assuming they stay in the area while they're mixing. But, I can't do that because they can DClick the scroll and run off, and continue to make the potions as long as they never close the gump.

Here's the current gump, with the RESTEST to check if they have the recipe on their person.

Code:

[ITEMDEF i_alchemy_recipe_weak_poison]

ID=I_MAP_ROLLED

VALUE=50

NAME=Weak Poison Recipe

WEIGHT=1

CATEGORY=Infinity Items

SUBSECTION=Alchemy Recipes

DESCRIPTION=Weak Poison

I really like your crafting idea Shock

For solving the problem, you can try this

PHP Code:

[FUNCTION near_alchemy_scroll]
FORITEMS 2 //Radius 2
 IF <baseid> == <args> // I don't remember to use ID or Baseid
        return 1 // I found the alchemy scrool i need!
ENDIF
ENDFOR
return 0 

So your if construct will look like

PHP Code:

IF (<SRC.RESTEST i_mortar_pestle>) && (<SRC.RESTEST 3 i_reag_nightshade>) && (<SRC.RESTEST 1 i_bottle_small_water>) && (<SRC.near_alchemy_scroll  i_alchemy_recipe_weak_poison>)
 SRC.EMOTE starts making a Weak Poison
 SRC.SOUND 578
 MAKEITEM=i_potion_weak_poison
 DIALOG d_alchemy_recipe_weak_poison
 ELSE
 SRC.SYSMESSAGENEG you don't have all the required materials!
 DIALOG d_alchemy_recipe_weak_poison
 ENDIF
 RETURN 1 

I can't test it right now but i think the idea is right Big Grin

HAH! It worked. Although I'd rather the GUMP close. But this is still a lot better than what I had. Wink

I did have to tweak it though, your script worked like a charm, but couldnt detect when the recipe was in your pack, so I still had to do the original RESTEST:

Code:

IF (<SRC.RESTEST i_mortar_pestle>) && (<SRC.RESTEST 3 i_reag_nightshade>) && (<SRC.RESTEST i_bottle_small_water>) && ((<SRC.near_alchemy_scroll i_alchemy_recipe_weak_poison>) || (<SRC.RESTEST i_alchemy_recipe_weak_poison>))

Once I complete my new alchemy system I plan on posting in here, it completely rewrites the entire system. I think a lot of people will like it, and it's a solid base for remaking other similar could-be recipe based skills, like Cooking for example.

But, in my new Alchemy system I have:
- 3 Bottle sizes (Small, Medium, Large. I made custom art for these.)
- You have to fill the bottles in a water source somewhere (Any water tile)
- You have to find the recipe for the potion you'd like to make
- Opening the recipe's GUMP will tell you what you need, and the skill requirements.
- Once you have the recipe, the correct bottle size (and filled with water), you click on the recipe and click "Mix"
- Checks and makes sure you have everything required, Triggers MAKEITEM
- The GUMP stays open once you click "Mix", so you just have to re-click "Mix" again to make a second potion. Making the process a little smoother too.

I also disabled @DCLICK on all the reagents, the mortar and t_empty_bottle, so people can't bring up the old skillmenu in any way shape or form. The only way to trigger MAKEITEM is via the recipe's mix button.

In my crafting system (which it is with recipes too), I always store the position in a CTAG when the dialog is opened, and then when the player click the item that want to be crafted, I check his position with the position stored in the CTAG.

If the distance is greater than 2, then return a failure message.

try using

Code:

IF (<SRC.CANMAKE i_potion_weak_poison>) && ((<SRC.near_alchemy_scroll i_alchemy_recipe_weak_poison>) || (<SRC.RESTEST i_alchemy_recipe_weak_poison>))

instead

Code:

IF (<SRC.RESTEST i_mortar_pestle>) && (<SRC.RESTEST 3 i_reag_nightshade>) && (<SRC.RESTEST i_bottle_small_water>) && ((<SRC.near_alchemy_scroll i_alchemy_recipe_weak_poison>) || (<SRC.RESTEST i_alchemy_recipe_weak_poison>))

and to close dialogs when move the item you must use

Code:

ON=@DClick

SDIALOG d_alchemy_recipe_weak_poison

return 1

ON=@PickUp_Pack

SRC.DIALOGCLOSE d_alchemy_recipe_weak_poison

ON=@PickUp_Ground

SRC.DIALOGCLOSE d_alchemy_recipe_weak_poison

btw you can optimize the code a bit Smile

Code:

[ITEMDEF i_alchemy_recipe_weak_poison]

ID=i_map_rolled

VALUE=50

NAME=Weak Poison Recipe

WEIGHT=1

CATEGORY=Infinity Items

SUBSECTION=Alchemy Recipes

DESCRIPTION=Weak Poison

ON=@DClick

return 1

Can we PLEASE look at the dates of the previous post before we drag up threads that have been dormant for 6+ months?
Thanks
