move to ground

Can somone help me with this peice of code?

		private void MoveToGround()
		{
				MoveToWorld( GetWorldLocation(), Map );
		}

		public override DeathMoveResult OnInventoryDeath( Mobile parent )
		{
			parent.SolidHueOverride = -1;
			return DeathMoveResult.MoveToWorld;
		}

the error is Server.DeathMoveResult does not contain a definition for "MoveToWorld

(i realize there is no defintion for the MoveToWorld or MoveToGround)

I just cant think right now.

 

[Lord_Greywolf]

would need to see the whole code to see what is up there

but simply put i would just combine them up

		public override DeathMoveResult OnInventoryDeath( Mobile parent )
		{
			parent.SolidHueOverride = -1;
			MoveToWorld( GetWorldLocation(), Map );
			return ; // this line is not realy needed
		}

error

same error i have been getting, when trying around different things.

An object of a type convertible to 'Server.DeathMoveResults' is required

What script is that located in?

I couldent concentrate anymore so i stopped, if anyone wants to try and solve the problem go right ahead because i cant right now.

I want it so OnDeath (of the player holding item in their pack) the item drops to the ground.

you can see passed code we were using * up above *

and heres what im messing with now. Solving this will be much apreciated.

		public override DeathMoveResult OnDeath( Mobile parent )
                {
                    base.MoveToWorld(parent.Location, parent.Map);
                }

        public void DropBall(Mobile from, Point3D loc, Map map)
        {
            {
                base.MoveToWorld(loc, map);
            }
        }

Try this:

        public override DeathMoveResult OnInventoryDeath(Mobile parent)
        {
            YourItemClass item = new YourItemClass();
            item.MoveToWorld(parent.Location, parent.Map);
            return DeathMoveResult.MoveToBackpack;
        }

Replace YourItemClass with the name of the class for this Item.

This should create a new item, move it to the ground, and move the old one to their backpack (not their corpse). When the corpse disappears, the item in the backpack will be deleted. It will remain inaccessible to players.

That dosnt work because i need the actual item dropped on death, there cant be more than one.

I just cant seem to figure this out for some reason. Its probabaly becauase ive spent so long on it i cant see a obvious answer. Does anyone have any ideas?

I'm not sure if this is the correct place in the Death code path to put this, but...

           public override DeathMoveResult OnInventoryDeath(Mobile parent)
        {
	    Container pack = parent.Backpack;
	    if(pack != null)
            {
                Item item = pack.FindItemByType(typeof(MyItem));
	        if(item != null)
                {
            	    item.MoveToWorld(parent.Location, parent.Map);
                    return DeathMoveResult.RemainEquiped;
                }
            }
            return DeathMoveResult.MoveToBackpack;
        }

MoveToWorld

I dont think i fully said what im trying to make it do. Its not that the passed code hasnt worked, it just hasnt fully done what i want.

The code you just gave me left the item in their pack when they die.

I want it to be moved to the floor.

basically, oninventorydeath, ( i want the item) to movetoworld.

I cannot seem to get it right for some reason.

 

[Malaperth]

Did you read and/or try what I posted?

 

[JMB Networks]

.

Yes, what happened with yours was,

It put the item in the ghosts pack instead of dropping it to the ground.

 

[Malaperth]

Paste here exactly what you tried that put your item into a pack.

 

[JMB Networks]

.

Im not sure what you mean, i directly copied what you posted.

When i killed the player, instead of dropping the item to the ground it kept it in his ghosts pack.

I want it so oninventorydeath the item drops on the ground

 

[Malaperth]

I guess I should have been more specific. I don't know exactly what Item you are trying to drop to the ground so I had to put in a 'dummy' name here:

 Item item = pack.FindItemByType(typeof([COLOR="Red"]MyItem[/COLOR]));

You will need to change the part in red to whatever the class is you are trying to drop to the ground in order for that code to have any chance to work.

Yes i know, and i did.

But it didnt drop the item to ground on death, it kept it in the ghosts pack.

 

[Malaperth]

Then it would be my guess that the method you put the code in is the wrong place in the codepath to put your code. At that point in the death sequence, there are several things going on transferring items from place to place and container to container if I am not mistaken. I think I would try putting it in the OnBeforeDeath method and see if it works there.

I think what im going to do is take this

        public override DeathMoveResult OnInventoryDeath(Mobile parent)
        {
            YourItemClass item = new YourItemClass();
            item.MoveToWorld(parent.Location, parent.Map);
            return DeathMoveResult.MoveToBackpack;
        }

Atm that code will put one on the ground on death, and then the other one stays in ghosts pack.

Im going to change the DeathMoveResult to Remove the item instead of MoveToBackpack. Although i havent been able to find the right remove or delete code yet.

return DeathMoveResult.???;

You would have to add a new DeathMoveResult and supporting code to do that, which is why I suggested the OnBeforeDeath method. Try this:

           public override DeathMoveResult OnInventoryDeath(Mobile parent)
        {
                Console.WriteLine("parent is type:  " + parent.GetType().ToString());
	    Container pack = parent.Backpack;
	    if(pack != null)
            {
                Item item = pack.FindItemByType(typeof(MyItem));
	        if(item != null)
                {
            	    item.MoveToWorld(parent.Location, parent.Map);
                    return DeathMoveResult.RemainEquiped;
                }
            }
            return DeathMoveResult.MoveToBackpack;
        }

That way, we can find out exactly what 'parent' is and then we can go about finding the item. The 'parent' may be a Corpse at that point, I'm not sure, which would make it so it does not have a pack to find your item in.
