How do I add random Magic Attributes to items.

[Erucid]

So, how do I make the daisho and the katana have random magic attributes assigned to them. Preferably lower level.

                Katana item = new Katana();
                item.Put Weapon Attribute Here = put value here;
                from.AddToBackpack( item );

 

[KillerBeeZ]

also for the random...

                        switch ( Utility.Random( 2 )) // 2 items
                        {
                            case 0: // item 1
                            // add your weapon attribute here
                            break;
                            case 1: // item 2
                            // add a different weapon attribute here
                            break;
                        }

plus you can substitute the value (if its a number) for Utility.RandomMinMax(2,5)

So there is not build in method to add a random attribute as though this was a random piece of loot? Doing a case for each item I want to use and then a case for each attribute doesn't sound like an optimal way of doing this. :-/

 

[KillerBeeZ]

yes there is, you can add it to the lootpack... I wasn't sure what you wanted

 

[Erucid]

Ok, now you lost me. Example please?

 

[tass23]

Lootpack.cs. By adding items to that, it adds the loot globally to mob drops. Saves you some time and effort

 

[Erucid]

I heard a *woosh* sound as that went over my head.

 

[tass23]

Almost all monster drops are controlled by a file called Lootpack.cs. If you want to add something to all monster drops universally, you should add it to Lootpack.cs. Look for it in your Scripts->Misc folder.

 

[Erucid]

No, I don't want to add it to all monster drops. I just want to be able to add random magic attributes to a given item. I guess another way to look at it is I want to create a bag, and within that bag would be a random weapon from a list that I choose. (probably through case) and whatever item is randomly selected, it gets a random magic attribute applied to it. Then I can spawn or drop the bag (using xmlspawner) and be assured that it created an item I specified, but with a random magic attribute. In the code above, it would be like...

        public OneItemBag( int amount )//public DeedBag( int amount )
        {

            Item myitem = null;
                    switch ( Utility.Random( 2 ) )
                    {
                case 0: myitem =  new Katana( WITH RANDOM MAGIC ABILITY);break;
                case 1: myitem =  new Daisho( WITH RANDOM MAGIC ABILITY);break;

                    }
            AddItem( myitem );
        }

But I don't know what to put for the WITH RANDOM MAGIC ABILITY or even if it can be done.

 

[tass23]

I see. You need to have the random magic abilities listed somewhere for it to pick from.

 

[Erucid]

Yeah, i was just hoping that someone already invented a shortcut.
in the above example

                        switch ( Utility.Random( 2 )) // 2 items
                        {
                            case 0: // item 1
                            // add your weapon attribute here
                            break;
                            case 1: // item 2
                            // add a different weapon attribute here
                            break;
                        }

What would an "// add a different weapon attribute here" look like?
