hi for all,
i want to put a timer on ethereal horses that when reaches 1 month the ethereal dissappear, how can i do this?

make it linked to player, set a timer, and don't get removed when unmounted

Assuming you have something like a figure used to mount the ethy:

on=@create
TIMERF 2592000,remove

You will need to store a tag on the eth item setting to it the serv time when created, transfer it to the mount when mounting and transfering it back to the item when dismounting.

The tag would store the <serv.time>, which uses tenths of second to handle the time, hence you will have to convert them to seconds to use the timerf functions.
Timerf gets destroyed when the item is deleted, and this happens each time you mount/dismount for both eth item and the mounted npc, so I would add a function and call it when the mount NPC is being dismounted:

Code:

[function f_eth_timeout]

//argn raw timer

if (<argn>==0) // no previous timer

 tag.timeout = <eval 60*60*24*30>

else

 tag.timeout = <argn1>

endif

if (<tag.timeout> < <serv.time>)

 remove

 return 1

endif

timerf remove,<eval <tag.timeout>/10>

Then you must call the function on the newly created item or npc (after serv.newitem=xx or serv.newnpc=xx) with this line: new.f_eth_timeout <tag0.timeout>

so the player can buy more than one eth, so how can i implement this? i ll paste part of script:

This is when a player bought the eth:

Code:

src.newitem i_et_bear

    src.newitem 

    src.act.bounce

some eths that player can buy:

Code:

[ITEMDEF i_et_llama]

ID=i_pet_llama

NAME=Ethereal llama

TYPE=t_eth

tdata1=c_llama

ON=@Create

color=078ff

ATTR=04

[ITEMDEF i_et_bear]

ID=i_pet_bear_polar

NAME=Polar Bear

TYPE=t_eth

tdata1=c_bear_polar

ON=@Create

ATTR=04

This is the function of eth system:

Code:

[function bodyhex]    //this function returns the body in hex format to be able to read the mount's defnames in sphere_defs.scp (mount_0x444 in example)

local.body=<hval <body> & 0ffff>

local.len=<eval STRLEN(<local.body>)>

return 0x<strsub 1 <dlocal.len> <local.body>>

[typedef t_eth]

//This typedef handles almost all of the Ethereal's behaviour

on=@Dclick

local.id=<qval <tdata1>?<tdata1>:<tag0.ethid>>    //check for the source, a normal ethereal or a mount cloner

if <local.id>    //If a id is received then the code proceed

    IF !((<SRC.Body>==c_man) || (<SRC.Body>==c_woman) || (<SRC.Body>==c_elf_male) || (<SRC.Body>==c_elf_female))    //Only humans and elfs can mount, if you have humanoids races add them here.

        SRC.SysMessage=<defmsg.msg_mount_unable>

        Return 1

    Else

        serv.newnpc=<local.id>    //When ridding it, a real NPC with this ID is created

        new.tag.eth=<baseid>

        new.color=<color>

        if (<tag0.ethid>)        //If it's a cloner it have this tag, we transfer it to the npc to retrieve it back later.

            new.tag.etglobal=<tag.ethid>

        endif

        new.tag.color=<color>

        ref1=<new>

        serv.newitem=i_memory    //A memory_ipet is given to the NPC, so the player can ride it.

        new.color=memory_ipet

        new.link=<src>

        new.cont=<ref1>

        ref1.mount=<src>        //this function does dismount you if needed, hence I didn't check it before.

        src.events +e_ridding_eth    //This event handle the @Dismount, the rest of the script

        remove

    Endif

else

    serv.log Problems with <uid> (<name>) [t_eth] no tdata1 nor tag.ethid.

    return 1

ENDIF

return 1

cont=<src.findlayer.21>

if (<tag0.ethid>)

    dispid=<serv.chardef.<tag.ethid>.icon>

    update

endif

return 1

        new.tag.ethid=<ref1.tag.etglobal>

    return 1
