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	object::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.
artifact	object::artifact	If defined, refers to an artifact to get values from.
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.
blocks prayers	blocks_prayer	Similar to damned, but does not appear in detect curse.
changing	FLAG_CHANGING	A <changing> object converts to <food> <other_arch> objects; when it's animation is done. For non-living objects <food> is checked: if it is zero, the change happens; otherwise <food> is decreased by one. I suggest you don't mess with this value - leave the default in place.
client-sided randomized animation?	FLAG_CLIENT_ANIM_RANDOM	If defined, then the object's animation is client-sided. Similar objects are animated independently.
client-sided synchronized animation?	FLAG_CLIENT_ANIM_SYNC	If defined, then the object's animation is client-sided. Similar objects are animated synchronized.
container class	object::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 counter piece 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	object::msg	This text may contain a description of the container.
elevation	elevation	The elevation (height above sea level) of this square. 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	object::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.
identified animation	identified_animation	If defined, then the object will take this animation when identified.
identified animation speed	identified_anim_speed	If defined, then the object will have this animation speed when identified.
identified image	identified_face	If defined, then the object will take this appareance when identified.
identified random animation?	identified_anim_random	If defined, then the object's animation is in a random sequence when identified.
identified_name	identified_name	If defined, then the object will take this name when identified.
identified_name_pl	identified_name_pl	If defined, then the object will take this plural name when identified.
image	object::face	The image-name defines what image is displayed for this object in-game.
invisible	object::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 used up	FLAG_IS_USED_UP	If set, decrement the <food> field at <speed>. When <food> reaches zero, remove the object.
key string	object::slaying	If <key string> is set, only players with a special key of matching <key string> are able to open the container.
material	object::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	object::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	object::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	object::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.
open image	face_opened	If specified, the image-name is displayed when the container is open.
plural name	object::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.
price adjustment	price_adjustment	If set, this is the buy and sell price adjustment ratio for the item.
price adjustment for buying	price_adjustment_buy	If set, this is the adjustment ratio when buying the item. Ignored if <price> adjustment is set.
price adjustment for selling	price_adjustment_sell	If set, this is the adjustment ratio when selling the item. Ignored if <price> adjustment is set.
race restriction	race_restriction	If this is set to a : separated (with leading and trailing :) list of races, only players of this race will be able to apply the item.
reduce weight %	living::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	object::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".
splitting	FLAG_SPLITTING	A <splitting> object converts to <food> <other_arch> objects; when it is hit physically. For non-living objects <food> is checked: if it is zero, the change happens; otherwise <food> is decreased by one. I suggest you don't mess with this value - leave the default in place.
title	object::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	object::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	object::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 open source... you never know ;) ).
