Item Level requirements

[MrBurston]

I want it so items (rare items) require a certain level.

Basically if i had a sword that requires level 100 how do i make it so you cant equip it unless you are level 100 or over?

first thing I think of that references that is the baseweapon.cs where it sets requirements for CanEquip based on str, dex and int...

        public override bool CanEquip( Mobile from )
        {
            if ( !Ethics.Ethic.CheckEquip( from, this ) )
                return false;
 
            if( RequiredRace != null && from.Race != RequiredRace )
            {
                if( RequiredRace == Race.Elf )
                    from.SendLocalizedMessage( 1072203 ); // Only Elves may use this.
                else
                    from.SendMessage( "Only {0} may use this.", RequiredRace.PluralName );
 
                return false;
            }
            else if ( from.Dex < DexRequirement )
            {
                from.SendMessage( "You are not nimble enough to equip that." );
                return false;
            }
            else if ( from.Str < AOS.Scale( StrRequirement, 100 - GetLowerStatReq() ) )
            {
                from.SendLocalizedMessage( 500213 ); // You are not strong enough to equip that.
                return false;
            }
            else if ( from.Int < IntRequirement )
            {
                from.SendMessage( "You are not smart enough to equip that." );
                return false;
            }
            else if ( !from.CanBeginAction( typeof( BaseWeapon ) ) )
            {
                return false;
            }
            else
            {
                return base.CanEquip( from );
            }
        }

I would think that modifying that for your 'level' in the item script itself is where to start.

I am no coder, but I would suggest looking at the script for a weapon or armor that says "Requires Mondains Legacy" on it and see if that gives some pointers.

This is what i got to work. Hope it helps

        public override bool CanEquip( Mobile from )
        {
            if ( from.Skills[SkillName.Swords].Base <= 50.0 )//Skills[SkillName.Swords].Base
            {
                from.SendMessage( "You are not skilled enough to equip that." );
                return false;
            }
            else
            {
                return base.CanEquip( from );
            }
        }

 

[MrBurston]

OK i got the majority of it working but im getting an error on start up now (see attached image)

Even tho in playermobile there is this section.

public partial class PlayerMobile : Mobile, IHonorTarget
    {
    //Level System
        private int m_Level;
        private int m_MaxLevel;
        private int m_Exp;
        private int m_ToLevel;
        private int m_kxp;
        private int m_SKPoints;
        private int m_StatPoints;
   
   
        [CommandProperty(AccessLevel.GameMaster)]
        public int Level
        {
            get { return m_Level; }
            set { m_Level = value; InvalidateProperties(); }
        }

If you added the Level check into BaseWeapon, you probably didn't pass Mobile as a PlayerMobile, so its checking every Mobile. Unless you also have all the "Level" stuff in BaseCreature, or Mobile.cs for that matter - it will error out.

You need to pass your "if (Mobile.Level <= 99 )" or whatever check you used (we have no idea because you only posted a tiny bit of code that doesn't show where the error is from) as a PlayerMobile, not the base Mobile.

Playermobile is a class that inherits from Mobile, which means all of the things defined in Mobile are also present in PlayerMobile. However, the reverse is not true. Things added to the PlayerMobile class, like your Level, are not present in the Mobile class. In BaseWeapon.cs, the OnEquip method receives a Mobile as it's argument. All of the extra stuff in PlayerMobile is not available unless you can cast the Mobile as a PlayerMobile, which is possible because of inheritance.

In your OnEquip method, add something like the following:

if (from.Player) // This makes sure you are only trying this when it IS a player, and not for every creature
{
    PlayerMobile pm = from as PlayerMobile; // This is the cast I'm talking about
    if (pm.Level < 100)
    {
        // Do you stuff
    }
}

 

[MrBurston]

throws up a similar error but for both "player" and "level" now...

 

[pooka01]

if (from is Playermobile)
{
 PlayerMobile pm = (PlayerMobile)from;
 if (from.Level < 100)
 {
  stuff
 }
}

A mobile can be "Player = true", so must avoid casting to playermobile if it's not one, it is better to check if from is a playermobile instead.

ABOVE IS FIXED

ok ive got it so i can now use [set LevelRequirement 99 in game but when i add it to my script it get the attached error.


see below example.

public class FireScythe : BasePoleArm
    {
        public override int LevelRequirement{ get{ return 70; } }

 

[pooka01]

private int m_LevelRequirement;
public virtual int LevelRequirement{ get{ return 0; } }
 
[CommandProperty( AccessLevel.GameMaster )]
  public int LevelRequirement
  {
  get{ return m_LevelRequirement; }
  set{ m_LevelRequirement = value; InvalidateProperties(); }
  }

looks like that? (in baseweapon)

 

[MrBurston]

private int m_LevelReq;
public virtual int ReqLevel{ get{ return 0; } }

[CommandProperty( AccessLevel.GameMaster )]
public int LevelRequirement
{
get{ return m_LevelReq; }
set{ m_LevelReq = value; InvalidateProperties(); }
}

I've also added on the baseweapon.sc and the weapon I'm trying to set the required level on.

 

[pooka01]

public virtual int ReqLevel{ get{ return 0; } }

means you need

public override int ReqLevel{ get{ return #####; } }

in your new weapon file.
and not public override int LevelRequirement...

 

[MrBurston]

Ok so i got it to load without any errors BUT! it does not set the level requirement when i create the weapon!

see attached image.

 

[pooka01]

Well it should work. No idea why it doesn't.

 

[MrBurston]

its strange. why I wont. I'm so confused lol

 

[pooka01]

post your baseweapon and the weapon file, that will make it easier to see what goes wrong at this point.

 

[MrBurston]

Here you go.

 

[pooka01]

So basically you set it in the props menu, (are you sure you are clicking on the right button to apply the change?), then it goes automatically to 0?

 

[MrBurston]

This is what i do in game

[add firescythe

then i use

[props (on the fire scythe)

LevelRequirement is 0 when it should be 70
