Inventory Checker

Description

Inventory checkers passively check the players inventory for a specific object. You can set a connected value that is triggered either if that object is present or missing (-> "last_sp") when a player walks over the inventory checker. A valid option is to remove the matching object (usually not recommended, see "last_heal").

Alternatively, you can set your inventory checker to block all players that do/don't carry the matching object (-> "blocked movement").

As you can see, inventory checkers are quite powerful, holding a great variety of possibilities.

Type defined by:

Attributes

Attribute Field Description
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.
blocked movement object::move_block If set, only players meeting the match criteria can pass through that space. If unset (default), the inventory checker acts like a trigger/button.
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.
connection connection value Whenever the inventory checker is triggered, all objects with identical <connection> value get activated. This only makes sense together with <blocking passage> disabled.
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.
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.
match = having object::last_sp Enabled means having that object is a match. Disabled means not having that object is a match.
match arch name object::race This string specifies the object we are looking for: We have a match if the player does/don't carry an object of archetype <match arch name>.
match key string object::slaying This string specifies the object we are looking for: We have a match if the player does/don't carry a key object or a mark with identical <key string>. Note that key objects usually appear as "passports" in this context. A typical example is the city gate mechanism of Scorn.
match title object::title This string specifies the object we are looking for: We have a match if the player's title is/isn't <match title>.
match type living::hp

This value specifies the object we are looking for: We have a match if the player does/don't carry an object that is of type <match type>.

Example: Set <match type> 15 (type 15 => weapon) and <blocking passage> enabled. Now you have an inventory checker blocking all players that carry any kind of melee weapon. To pass, a player is forced to leave behind all his weaponry... bad news for a warrior. ;)

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.
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.
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.
remove match object::last_heal

<remove match> means remove object if found. Setting this is usually not recommended because inventory checkers are in general invisible. So, unlike for altars/ locked doors, the player won't expect to lose an object when walking over that square. And he doesn't even get a message either.

So, if you enable <remove match>, make sure to inform the player what's going on!

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.
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 ;) ).
