Description

Converters are like "exchange tables". When the player drops a specific type of items, they get converted into other items, at a predefined exchange-ratio.

Type defined by:

object::type = 103

Attributes

Attribute	Field	Description
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.
cost arch	obj::slaying	<cost arch> is the name of the archetype the player has to put on the converter, as payment.
cost number	liv::food	The player has to put <cost number> items of <cost arch> on the converter, in order to get <receive number> items of <receive arch>.
description	obj::msg	This text may contain a description of the converter.
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.
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.
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.
name	obj::name	This is the name of the object, displayed to the player.
receive arch	obj::other_arch	<receive arch> is the name of the archetype to convert into. This field is ignored if the converter has items in inventory. In this case one of the inventory items is duplicated. The duplicated item is randomly chosen from all items present.
receive number	liv::sp	The player has to put <cost number> items of <cost arch> on the converter, in order to get <receive number> items of <receive arch>.
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".
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 ;) ).
