Frictional Games Forum (read-only) - Hit a wall with crafting two items together

Pages: 1 2

I am crafting two items together... No problem...
But I need this to be done many times.
Because of the way the script calls the item based on it's name in the editor, this poses a problem.

Is there a work around?
Or any one have some ideas?

Be more descriptive.

I don't know how to. I was planning on making it so players would have to use two common items to craft things like health kits.

Would using AddUseItemCallback in combination with StringContains--and perhaps local map variables--be an issue?

Example please.

PHP Code:
void OnStart()
{
    AddUseItemCallback("INTERNAL_NAME", "NAME_OF_ITEM", "NAME_OF_ENTITY", "NAME_OF_CALLBACK", true);
    // Repeat for every item.
}

void NAME_OF_CALLBACK(string &in item, string &in entity)
{
    if (StringContains(item, "medbox"))
        AddLocalVarInt("Medbox", 1);
    else if (StringContains(item, "medicine"))
        AddLocalVarInt("Medicine", 1);

    if (GetLocalVarInt("Medbox") > 0
        && GetLocalVarInt("Medicine") > 2)
    {
        AddLocalVarInt("Medbox", -1);
        AddLocalVarInt("Medicine", -3);
        // Give medkit...
    }
} 

Still a bit of a problem. AddUseItemCallback(); per each item. Things like having many sanity potions (1 of the items used, the other being a container of blood) per map were the name would be potion_sanity_1, potion_sanity_2, etc.

You should be able to make use of a global.hps or inventory.hps instead of the map script.

You are saying have a global script that contains:

Code:
AddUseItemCallback("Blahblah", "potion_sanity_1", "Blah", "RandomFunction");

AddUseItemCallback("Blahblah", "potion_sanity_2", "Blah", "RandomFunction");

AddUseItemCallback("Blahblah", "potion_sanity_3", "Blah", "RandomFunction");

...
