Helmet

Description

Wearing a helmet, the object's stats will directly be inherited to the player. Normal helmets usually increase defense, while crowns add more special bonuses like stats/resistances paired with low defense.

Type defined by:

• object::type = 34

Attributes

Attribute	Field	Description
armor class	liv::ac	This value defines the amount of armor-class bonus for wearing this item. <Armor class> lessens the chance of being hit. Lower values are better. It should usually be set only for armor-like equipment.
attuned paths	obj::path_attuned	Click on the <attuned paths> button to select spellpaths. The player will get attuned to the specified spellpaths while wearing this item.
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.
charisma	liv::Cha	The player's charisma will rise/fall by the given value while wearing this piece of equipment.
constitution	liv::Con	The player's constitution will rise/fall by the given value while wearing this piece of equipment.
curse	FLAG_CURSED	A cursed piece of equipment cannot be unwielded unless the curse is removed.
damnation	FLAG_DAMNED	A damned piece of equipment cannot be unwielded unless the curse is removed. Removing damnations is a tick harder than removing curses.
denied paths	obj::path_denied	Click on the <denied paths> button to select spellpaths. The specified spellpaths will be denied to the player while wearing this item.
description	obj::msg	This text describes the item's "story". Every decent artifact should have such a description.
dexterity	liv::Dex	The player's dexterity will rise/fall by the given value while wearing this piece of equipment.
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.
food bonus	liv::food	Positive <food bonus> slows down the player's digestion, thus he consumes less food. Negative values speed it up. Note that food is consumed not only for "being alive", but also for healing and mana-regeneration. <food bonus> only affects the amount of food consumed for "being alive". Hence, even with high <food bonus>, during a fight a player can run out of food quickly.
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.
grace regen.	liv::grace	Positive <grace regen.> bonus speeds up the player's grace regeneration. Negative values slow it down. Since grace can be regenerated rather easy with praying, additional <grace regen.> bonus should be VERY RARE!!
granted movement	obj::move_type	As soon as the player applies a piece of equipment, the player will start using the granted movement types.
health regen.	liv::hp	Positive <health regen.> bonus speeds up the player's healing process. Negative values slow it down.
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.
intelligence	liv::Int	The player's intelligence will rise/fall by the given value while wearing this piece of equipment.
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.
is applied	FLAG_APPLIED	If you put this item into the inventory of a monster, and you want the monster to use/wear the item - you must set <is applied>. Enabling this flag doesn't make any sense if the item is NOT in a monster's inventory.
item power	obj::item_power	The <item power> value measures how "powerful" an artifact is. Players will only be able to wear equipment with a certain total amount of <item power>, depending on their own level. This is the only way to prevent low level players to wear "undeserved" equipment (like gifts from other players or cheated items). It is very important to adjust the <item power> value carefully for every artifact you create! If zero/unset, the CF server will calculate a provisional value at runtime, but this is never going to be an accurate measurement of <item power>.
luck bonus	liv::luck	With positive luck bonus, the player is more likely to succeed in all sorts of things (spellcasting, praying,...). Unless the <luck bonus> is very high, the effect will be barely visible in-game. Luck bonus on one piece of equipment should never exceed 3, and such bonus should not be too frequently available.
magic bonus	obj::magic	<magic bonus> works just like ac, except that it can be improved by "scrolls of Enchant Armour" or reduced by acid. It is less useful than direct armor-class bonus on the helmet. Important: <magic bonus> on helmets has no effect if there is no <armor class> set. It only works in combination with <armor class>. Crowns for instance typically provide no <amour class>.
mana regen.	liv::sp	Positive <mana regen.> bonus speeds up the player's mana regeneration. Negative values slow it down.
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.
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.
power	liv::Pow	The player's power will rise/fall by the given value while wearing this piece of equipment.
reflect missiles	FLAG_REFL_MISSILE	If a player is wearing any piece of equipment with the ability to <reflect missiles>, all kinds of projectiles (e.g. arrows, bolts, boulders) will bounce off him. This works only about 90% of all times, to avoid players being completely immune to certain types of attacks.
reflect spells	FLAG_REFL_SPELL	If a player is wearing any piece of equipment with the ability to <reflect spells>, all kinds of spell-bullets and -beams will bounce off him. This works only about 90% of all times, to avoid players being completely immune to certain types of attacks. This is a very powerful ability and it shouldn't be handed out cheap!
repelled paths	obj::path_repelled	Click on the <repelled paths> button to select spellpaths. The player will get repelled to the specified spellpaths while wearing this item.
resist acid %	obj::resist	This adds acid resistance to the item. The number is a percent-value in the range 0-100. Treat this with CARE. Look at other maps and what they require to do for getting this-and-that artifact.
resist blinding %	obj::resist	This adds blinding resistance to the item. The number is a percent-value in the range 0-100. Treat this with CARE. Look at other maps and what they require to do for getting this-and-that artifact.
resist chaos %	obj::resist	This adds chaos resistance to the item. The number is a percent-value in the range 0-100. Treat this with CARE. Look at other maps and what they require to do for getting this-and-that artifact. Note that chaos is not a stand-alone attacktype. Chaos "contains" a combination of other attacktypes.
resist cold %	obj::resist	This adds fire resistance to the item. The number is a percent-value in the range 0-100. Treat this with CARE. Look at other maps and what they require to do for getting this-and-that artifact.
resist confusion %	obj::resist	This adds confusion resistance to the item. The number is a percent-value in the range 0-100. Confusion resistance is not very effective unless the value comes close to 100 (= perfect immunity).
resist death-attack %	obj::resist	This adds death-attack resistance to the item. The number is a percent-value in the range 0-100. Death-attack resistance is little effective unless the value is 100 (= perfect immunity). Generally, resistance to death-attack is not supposed to be available to players!
resist depletion %	obj::resist	This adds depletion resistance to the item. The number is a percent-value in the range 0-100. Depletion resistance is little effective unless the value is 100 (= perfect immunity).
resist draining %	obj::resist	This adds draining resistance to the item. The number is a percent-value in the range 0-100. Draining resistance is little effective unless the value is 100 (= perfect immunity).
resist electricity %	obj::resist	This adds electricity resistance to the item. The number is a percent-value in the range 0-100. Treat this with CARE. Look at other maps and what they require to do for getting this-and-that artifact.
resist fear %	obj::resist	This adds fear resistance to the item. The number is a percent-value in the range 0-100. Resistance to fear is pretty useless.
resist fire %	obj::resist	This adds fire resistance to the item. The number is a percent-value in the range 0-100. Treat this with CARE. Look at other maps and what they require to do for getting this-and-that artifact.
resist ghosthit %	obj::resist	This adds ghosthit resistance to the item. The number is a percent-value in the range 0-100. Treat this with CARE. Look at other maps and what they require to do for getting this-and-that artifact.
resist holy power %	obj::resist	This adds holy power resistance to the item. The number is a percent-value in the range 0-100. Holy power is the attacktype that holyword-type spells use to hurt undead creatures. This kind of resistance is only reasonable for undead players (wraith or devourer cult). Generally, resistance to holy word should not be available for players.
resist magic %	obj::resist	This adds magic resistance to the item. The number is a percent-value in the range 0-100. Treat this with CARE. Look at other maps and what they require to do for getting this-and-that artifact.
resist paralyze %	obj::resist	This adds paralyze resistance to the item. The number is a percent-value in the range 0-100. Paralyze resistance is little effective unless the value is 100 (= perfect immunity).
resist physical %	obj::resist	This adds physical resistance to the item (= armor value). The number is a percent-value in the range 0-100. Treat this with CARE. Look at other maps and what they require to do for getting this-and-that artifact.
resist poison %	obj::resist	This adds poison resistance to the item. The number is a percent-value in the range 0-100. Treat this with CARE. Look at other maps and what they require to do for getting this-and-that artifact.
resist slow %	obj::resist	This adds fear resistance to the item. The number is a percent-value in the range 0-100. Resistance to fear is pretty useless.
resist weaponmagic %	obj::resist	This adds weaponmagic resistance to the item. The number is a percent-value in the range 0-100. Weaponmagic resistance generally should not exist on equipment at all. Spells/Monsters doing weaponmagic damage (e.g. comet spell) are not meant to be easily resisted.
save life	FLAG_LIFESAVE	An item with this flag enabled will save the players life for one time: When the player is wearing this item and his health points reach zero, the item disappears, replenishing half of the player's health. An item with <save life> should not have any decent additional bonuses!
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".
stealth	FLAG_STEALTH	Stealth allows the player to move silently. This comes to effect if a player turns himself invisible and tries to sneak around monsters. (At least that was the idea behind it)
strength	liv::Str	The player's strength will rise/fall by the given value while wearing this piece of equipment.
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.
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.
weapon class	liv::wc	The <weapon class> value adds to the overall weapon class of the wielder's melee attacks. Weapon class improves the chance of hitting the opponent. Weapon class is the "counterpiece" of <armor class>. It should usually be set only for weapon-like items. Lower values are better.
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 ;) ).
wisdom	liv::Wis	The player's wisdom will rise/fall by the given value while wearing this piece of equipment.
xray vision	FLAG_XRAYS	Xray vision allows the player to see through obstacles in a two-square-wide radius. This is extremely helpful and desirable, so don't give it away for cheap on equipment.
