Trying to hide FameTitle with an item.

Packer898 · Oct 31, 2005

Trying to hide FameTitle with an item.

This should be simple but for the life of me I cant make it work. I am simply trying to hide the FameTitles when this item is equipped. I thought I could do this with from.ShowFameTitle = false; but that just gives me an error below.

Code:

 5) Property or indexer 'Server.Mobile.ShowFameTitle' cannot be assigned to -- i
t is read only

Now I have tried everything I can think of. I have case mobile to PlayerMobile and tried that. Any suggestions for the way to do this. I know there has to be a way...

Heres the script in case you need to see it.

Code:

I think you will have to do it another way. In Mobile.cs, this is what it says:

Code:

public virtual bool ShowFameTitle{ get{ return true; } }

Notice how there is no set accessor.

Packer898 · Oct 31, 2005

Ok I dont want to have to recomile the core though. So is there a way to add the set accessor in another class?

arul · Oct 31, 2005

Override this property in the PlayerMobile class.

Kamron · Oct 31, 2005

To elaborate on arul, you could do something similar to

public override bool ShowFameTitle{ get{ return !(FindItemOnLayer( Layer.Helm ) is HalloweenMask); } }

Kool Thanks. How would I write this If I wanted to be able to override this property and not specifiy an item in playermobile and just be able to add it in each item I want to do this with? That possible? I have a couple different items I would love to be able to do this with.

Kamron · Oct 31, 2005

You would create an interface... like

INoFameTitle

then you would make all of the items have that interface, and change the property to

public override bool ShowFameTitle{ get{ return !(FindItemOnLayer( Layer.Helm ) is INoFameTitle); } }

You'll need to add a new flag to PlayerFlags

Code:

    [Flags]
    public enum PlayerFlag // First 16 bits are reserved for default-distro use, start custom flags at 0x00010000
    {
        None = 0x00000000,
        Glassblowing = 0x00000001,
        Masonry = 0x00000002,
        SandMining = 0x00000004,
        StoneMining = 0x00000008,
        ToggleMiningStone = 0x00000010,
        KarmaLocked = 0x00000020,
        AutoRenewInsurance = 0x00000040,
        UseOwnFilter = 0x00000080,
        PublicMyRunUO = 0x00000100,
        PagingSquelched = 0x00000200,
        Young = 0x00000400,
[COLOR="Red"][B]        ShowFame = 0x00010000[/B][/COLOR]
    }

And then you can override the property this way

Code:

        public overrider bool ShowFameTitle
        {
            get
            {
                return GetFlag( PlayerFlag.ShowFame );
            }
            set
            {
                SetFlag( PlayerFlag.ShowFame, value );
            }
        }

            }
            set
            {
                SetFlag( PlayerFlag.ShowFame, value );
            }
        }

Tell me that I cannot override this because it has no set accessor.

arul · Oct 31, 2005

Well my bad

So we need to make a slave setter

Code:

        public overrider bool ShowFameTitle
        {
            get
            {
                return GetFlag( PlayerFlag.ShowFame );
            }
        }
        public bool SetShowFameTitle
        {
               set
               {
                   SetFlag( PlayerFlag.ShowFame, value );
               }
         }

Packer898 · Oct 31, 2005

Ok one small hitch. Now no one shows their titles anymore.

arul · Oct 31, 2005

Yes, since initially there is no such flag, the value of that flag is false at default, thus I suggest negate the bool expressions.

Ok this I get.

This you lose me on.

arul · Oct 31, 2005

Code:

        public overrider bool ShowFameTitle
        {
            get
            {
                !return GetFlag( PlayerFlag.ShowFame );
            }
        }
        public bool SetShowFameTitle
        {
               set
               {
                   SetFlag( PlayerFlag.ShowFame, !value );
               }
         }

negation = switches true x false in fact.

               }
         }

You don't need a slave setter as long as you casted to a PlayerMobile before you tried to set it.
Also you spelled override wrong arul

And as a note, I suggest certain ways because other ways are a pain in the ass...

Mobile.ShowFameTitle doesn't have overridable set accessor, thus we need the slave setter...

And Sp1der's previous suggestion (using an interface) is a really great way to do this, and it'll teach you a good deal more than flagging the PlayerMobile.

Obviously its a good and working way, but I'm intent to the code reusuability rather...
