Odd issue with my potion drinking EVENT. - Rayvolution - 09-18-2012 11:14 PM
I'm trying to get my potion drinking script to work, and the only way I can is with a little work around. But, the work around should *not* be required. I'm totally puzzled why it's acting the way it is.
The "Working" script with the work around, you'll notice I had to create a new potion, have the NPC drink that, then consume the original one:
Code:
ON=@GetHit
IF (<RESTEST 1 i_potion_regeneration_health>) && (<HITPOINTS> < <STR>) && (<EVAL RAND(5)> == 1)
SERV.NEWITEM i_potion_regeneration_health
EMOTE drink a <NEW.NAME>!
NEW.CONT=<findlayer.21.uid>
USEITEM <NEW>
return 1
ENDIFWhat SHOULD work, but isn't. It's actually making the NPC's target attempt to drink the potion in the NPC's backpack.
Code:
ON=@GetHit
IF (<RESTEST 1 i_potion_regeneration_health>) && (<HITPOINTS> < <STR>) && (<EVAL RAND(5)> == 1)
EMOTE drink a <NEW.NAME>!
findid.i_potion_regeneration_health.useitem
return 1
ENDIFAny advice?

Doesn't CONSUME make the item work like it has been used?

I think because useitem(fired from an item) refers to the src, and in @gethit the src is the character that do the damage.
The workaround works because that USEITEM fires from the character that receives the damage.
You should try to do :
PHP Code:
ON=@GetHit
IF (<RESTEST 1 i_potion_regeneration_health>) && (<HITPOINTS> < <STR>) && (<EVAL RAND(5)> == 1)
USEITEM <findid.i_potion_regeneration_health> //or something similar :P
return 1

I tried that method also before posting, didn't work. Has the same effect; the attacker tried to use the NPC's potion in the NPC's pack.
I also wanted to make sure it wasnt something totally wonky with my potions (they're completely custom) so I tested it on an i_candle instead of a potion, and when it fired my character (who was attacking the potion drinker) equipped the NPC's i_candle in his pack. lol.

I tried same trigger with default yellow potion and it works

very strange! When I get home, I'll try again. Maybe I typo'ed/goofed somewhere. I was writing that in the wee hours of the night

IF (<RESTEST 1 i_potion_heal_minor>) && (<HITPOINTS> < (<STR>/2)) && (<EVAL RAND(5)> == 1)
EMOTE drink a <findid.i_potion_heal_minor.name>! // <--This works! (EDIT: I even removed the .name part and it'll display the UID of the potion it found in the character's pack.)
USEITEM <findid.i_potion_heal_minor>
return 1
ENDIF
Still doesn't work.
Also tried:
findid.i_potion_heal_minor.useitem
findid.i_potion_heal_minor.use
USE <findid.i_potion_heal_minor>
Here's the entire code for everything related to the script..

RE: Odd issue with my potion drinking EVENT. - Skul - 09-19-2012 12:04 PM
Maybe useitem does not accept an argument? Try using trysrc to do it.
RE: Odd issue with my potion drinking EVENT. - darksun84 - 09-20-2012 07:26 AM
maybe on the typedef t_potion part
SRC it's considered attacker i guess, so as skul wrote you can use trysrc on useitem
RE: Odd issue with my potion drinking EVENT. - Rayvolution - 09-20-2012 07:42 AM
Hrm, what would be the correct syntax for TRYSRC? I've never used it before, and the syntaxes ived tried on the wiki aren't working
