Accessible( by_character, item, range := ACCESSIBLE_DEFAULT ) | |
---|---|
Parameters: | |
Name | Type |
by_character | Character Reference |
item | Item Reference |
range | Integer |
Explanation | |
Function: Determines if an item falls into one of the following categories for a character: | |
An item on the ground, within "range" squares (defaults to "DefaultAccessibleRange" from servspecopt). Use ACCESSIBLE_IGNOREDISTANCE to avoid this check. | |
An item equipped by the character | |
An item inside the character's backpack | |
A temporarily accessible item | |
Notes: Does not check that character has line-of-sight to item. | |
Return values | |
0 if item does not fall into one of the above categories, 1 if the item does. | |
Errors | |
none | |

AddAmount( item, amount ) | |
---|---|
Parameters: | |
Name | Type |
item | Item reference |
amount | An integer 1-60000 |
Explanation | |
Adds the specified amount to a stack of items. Amount is between 1 and 60000 | |
Return values | |
ItemRef on success or error on failure | |
Errors | |
"That item is being used" (if inuse or reserved) | |
"That item type is not stackable" | |
"Can't add that much to that stack" (if resulting amount > 60000) | |

AddMenuItem( menu, objtype, text, color:=0 ) | |
---|---|
Parameters: | |
Name | Type |
menu | Dynamic Menu Reference (from CreateMenu()) |
objtype | Integer tile graphic to add to menu |
text | String description |
color | Integer |
Explanation | |
Adds a menu item to a dynamic menu. | |
Notes: The 'objtype' field of a mobile is not appropriate here. There is special art for mobiles for use in menus. Human Males (object type: 0x190) use 0x2106, females 0x2107. Use InsideUO to determine other values. Color defaults to 0 if no itemdesc.cfg entry exists. Hint: menus.cfg uses the color of the itemdesc entry of the objtype given. | |
0 for objtype creates a checkbox-style menu | |
Return values | |
1 if the item was added successfully | |
Errors | |
none (returns 0 on invalid parameters) |
ApplyConstraint( objlist, configfile, propertyname, minvalue ) | |
---|---|
Parameters: | |
Name | Type |
objlist | array of objtype numbers |
configfile | config file reference |
propertyname | string |
minvalue | integer |
Explanation | |
Each element's objtype in "objlist" is looked up in the config file referenced by "configfile". if the object's value for "propertyname" is less than "minvalue", its objtype is included in the returned array. | |
Notes: Example: gets all the bowcraft items you can make given the amount of logs selected. | |
//Returns all the objtypes in the "BowcraftCarving" entry in menus.cfg: var objtypes := GetMenuObjTypes( "BowcraftCarving" ); //Returns a subset of the objtypes in the bowcraft item crafting config file that require //less "material" than the value of targetted_logs.amount. objtypes := ApplyConstraint(objtypes,bowcraftconfigfile,"material",targetted_logs.amount); //the return value is in a convienent form to use AddMenuItem() return objtypes; | |
Return values | |
An Array of Object Types that pass the constraint. | |
Errors | |
none (instead returns an Uninitialized Object on failure) | |

Explanation | |
Creates a stack of items in the specified container. As usual, objtype must be valid and amount must be 1..60000. FORCES STACKING: If the specified obytpe is not stackable by default (i.e. most weapons), this function WILL CREATE A STACK! This will cause a client crash if container is a player's pack! Therefore, this function SHOULD ONLY BE USED WITH NPC MERCHANTS' STORAGE AREA INVENTORIES! For normal containers, use CreateItemInContainer(). | |
Note: Will call the container's canInsert and onInsert scripts. | |
Return values | |

Parameters: | |
Name | Type |
resource | string |
x | Integer world coordinates |
y | Integer world coordinates |
realm | String - case-sensitive name of the realm |
propertyname | string |
Explanation | |
Allows you to look up custom properties within a resource region entry. | |
"resource" is a string that matches a resource type in regions/resource.cfg, i.e. "ore". x,y is the coordinate to look up in the regions defined in resources/ore.cfg (or the filename matching the supplied resource). | |
"property_name" is the _custom_ property to match (i.e. UnitsPerArea, SecondsPerRegrow, Capacity, Range are NOT matched) in the found region. | |
Example: in regions/resource.cfg there exists a ResourceType "ore". In ore.cfg there exists a region: Region Outer Covetous { UnitsPerArea 15 SecondsPerRegrow 300 Capacity 20000 Range 2299 784 2635 967 Prop value_string -- this is a custom property not used by the core } GetRegionString("ore",2299,785,"Prop"); would return "value_string" | |

Parameters: | |
Name | Type |
item | Item Reference |
container | Container Reference |
x | Integer coords inside container gump (optional) |
y | Integer coords inside container gump (optional) |
add_to_existing_stack | Defines if the items moved to the container will look for an existing stack and add to it or just add as a new item ( old behaviour ) |
Explanation | |
Moves an item into a container. | |
Notes: If the default values for x and y are passed, or if x or y does not fall within the legal bounds for a container as found in ITEMDESC.CFG, then a random location within the container will be chosen. | |
Calls the item's unequiptest and unequip scripts, if any. | |
Calls the container's canInsert and onInsert scripts, if any. | |
Calls the item's original container's (if any) canRemove and onRemove scripts, if any. | |
If add_to_existing_stack == 1 and there is no stack in the container, it will return Error "There is no existing stack", so its up to scripts to check this. | |
If add_to_existing_stack == 2 and there is no stack in the container, it will just add as a new item like when add_to_existing_stack == 0. | |

TargetMultiPlacement( character, objtype, flags := 0, xoffset := 0, yoffset := 0, hue := 0 ) | |
---|---|
Parameters: | |
Name | Type |
character | Character Reference |
objtype | Integer |
flags | Integer (optional) |
xoffset | Integer offset to 'ghost' target house |
yoffset | Integer offset to 'ghost' target house |
hue | Integer |
Explanation | |
Sends character a "ghost" multi to select placement location in the world. | |
Notes: objtype must be from an itemdesc.cfg entry with a Boat or House type. | |
boats only constants for flags: | |
const CRMULTI_FACING_NORTH := 0x0000; const CRMULTI_FACING_EAST := 0x0100; const CRMULTI_FACING_SOUTH := 0x0200; const CRMULTI_FACING_WEST := 0x0300; | |
For House target placement, flags should == 0. | |
NOTE: the coordinates returned by this are the coordinates of the "target" cursor, not the center of the house if you use x/yoffset! So if you want to have the front steps be under the cursor, you must transform the parameters to CreateMultiAtLocation to include your xoffset and yoffset. Positive offsets move the cursor left/down in relation to the ghost house. An example using the front steps to target: | |
var dims := GetMultiDimensions( 0x6071 ); if(!dims) return; endif var loc := TargetMultiPlacement( who, 0x6071, 0, 0, dims.ymax ); if(!loc) return; endif var house := CreateMultiAtLocation( loc.x, loc.y - dims.ymax, loc.z, 0x6071, 0, who.realm ); | |
