Container

Description

A player can put (certain kinds of) items in the container. The overall weight of items is reduced when put inside a container, depending on the settings.

A special feature of containers is the "cauldron", capable of mixing alchemical recipes.

Type defined by:

• object::type = 122

Attributes

Attribute	Field	Description
alchemy cauldron	FLAG_IS_CAULDRON	If set, the container can be used as alchemy-cauldron. The player can put ingredients inside, close it, cast alchemy and if his formulae is true, he'll get what he longed for.
animation arch	obj::other_arch	This is used for a certain kind of... "animation" when opening the container. Stick to the default arches here and you won't get into trouble.
block view	FLAG_BLOCKSVIEW	If an item is set to block view, players (and monsters) cannot see beyond it unless they cross it or manage to stand on top.
container class	obj::race	If set, the container will hold only certain types of objects. Possible choices for <container class> are: "gold and jewels", "arrows" and "keys". Unfortunately it is not easy to create new container classes, because items need a matching counterpiece-attribute to the <container class> before they can be put inside a container. This attribute ("race") is set only for the existing container classes.
description	obj::msg	This text may contain a description of the container.
elevation	obj::elevation	The elevation (height above sea level) of this tile. It is used for weather calculations and should be in the range -32000..32000. The elevation of a tile must be set in the bottom-most game object; elevation values for non-bottom-most game objects are ignored by the Crossfire server.
glow radius	obj::glow_radius	If <glow radius> is set to a value greater zero, the object appears lit up on dark maps. <glow radius> can be a value between 0 and 4, the higher, the more light does the object emit.
godgiven item	FLAG_STARTEQUIP	A godgiven item vanishes as soon as the player drops it to the ground.
identified	FLAG_IDENTIFIED	If an item is identified, the player has full knowledge about it.
image	obj::face	The image-name defines what image is displayed for this object in-game.
invisible	obj::invisible	Generally makes the object invisible. Depending on the object-type, some can be made visible by the show_invisible spell. If in doubt, test it. Putting an invisible object under the floor always prevents it from being shown.
key string	obj::slaying	If <key string> is set, only players with a special key of matching <key string> are able to open the container.
material	obj::material	This bitmask-value informs the player of which material(s) the object consists. Material does also affect how likely the object can be destroyed by hazardous spell-effects.
maximum weight	obj::container	The container can hold a maximum total weight of the given value in gram. Note that this weight limit is calculated *after* the weight reduction (<reduce weight>) has been applied.
name	obj::name	This is the name of the object, displayed to the player.
non-pickable	FLAG_NO_PICK	If set, the object cannot be picked up (Neither by players nor monsters).
number	obj::nrof	This value determines the number of objects in one stack (for example: 100 gold coins => "number = 100"). You should set this at least to one, for any pickable object - otherwise it won't be mergeable into a stack.
plural name	obj::name_pl	This is the plural name of the object. A plural name must be set for all items that can be picked up and collected by the player.
reduce weight %	liv::Str	This value determines how much the weight of items is reduced in percent, when put inside the container. <reduce weight %> 0 means no reduction, <reduce weight %> 100 means items are weightless inside. Most default values are in the range of ten.
smooth level	obj::smoothlevel	If <smooth level> is set to a value greater zero, the object will be drawn partially over adjacent squares having a lower <smooth level> value. The value must be between 0 and 255 (inclusive); 0 means "never overlap adjacent squares".
title	obj::title	This is the object's title. Once an object is identified the title is attached to the name. Typical titles are "of Mostrai", "of xray vision" etc.
unique item	FLAG_UNIQUE	Unique items exist only one time on a server. If the item is taken, lost or destroyed - it's gone for good. All contents of a unique container are unique as well.
unpaid	FLAG_UNPAID	An <unpaid> item cannot be used unless a player carried it over a shop mat, paying the demanded price. Setting this flag makes sense only for pickable items inside shops.
value	obj::value	Adds a certain value to the object: It will be worth that many times the default value from it's archetype (E.g. "value = 3" means three times worth the default value). Value for buying/selling will be further modified by various factors. Hence, testing values in-game is usually inevitable.
weight	obj::weight	This value defines the object's weight in grams (1000g is 1kg). Objects with zero weight are not pickable for players. Still, set the "non-pickable"-flag for explicitly non-pickable objects (hey, this is opensource.. you never know ;) ).
