Custom ObjectPropertyLists Made Easy!

[Vorspire]

Me and my staff team got together to work out a way to have totally custom ObjectPropertyLists.

Using an array, and the cliloc value for ~1_NOTHING~, we were able to create a list that you can add ANYTHING to... All you need to do is replace your old ObjectPropertyList override method with this one, and edit it to suit your needs

public override void GetProperties( ObjectPropertyList list )
		{
			base.GetProperties( list );

			ArrayList strings = new ArrayList();

			if ( EXAMPLE != null )
				strings.Add("This text will show");
			
			string toAdd = "";
			int amount = strings.Count;
			int current = 1;

			foreach(string str in strings)
			{
				toAdd += str;
	
				if ( current != amount )
					toAdd += "\n";
	
				++current;
			}

			if(toAdd != "")
			list.Add(1070722, toAdd);
		}

Edit the areas marked in RED to suit your script, or you WILL get errors.

You can repeat this part as many times as you like:

if ( EXAMPLE != null )
	strings.Add("This text will show");

I know somethingl ike this has not been released before, because of a lot of searching. So i know this will be important for you guys!

*Not a tested theory, but this was tested using client 501j, so maybe the cliloc's were updated recently, since there is 2 ~1_NOTHING~ cliloc's now. And, of course, it ONLY work when the OPL is Enabled.

Have fun!

***EDIT***
OPL = Object Property Lists

I don't understand....what does this do??

First off, this is very good Bout time someone made this.

Let's say you have your PlayerMobile and you want to add a new system, let's say a Race/Class/Level. In order to add all 3 of those values to the list that pops up when you hover over a player (or click on them), you used to need 3 entries in the OPL (as in 3 different clicloc numbers), or a crafty use of ~1_val~:~2_val~ entry. With this, you can add all values into the array and it will make that crafty string (with breaks and all) for you automatically. So if you have your R/C/L values (string Race, string Class, int Level), you could do this:

		public override void GetProperties( ObjectPropertyList list )
		{
			base.GetProperties( list );

			ArrayList strings = new ArrayList();

			strings.Add( (Race == null ? "Race : Generic Race" : "Race : " + Race) );
			strings.Add( (Class == null ? "Class : Generic Class" : "Class : " + Class) );
			strings.Add( "Level : " + Level.ToString() );
			
			string toAdd = "";
			int amount = strings.Count;
			int current = 1;

			foreach(string str in strings)
			{
				toAdd += str;
	
				if ( current != amount )
					toAdd += "\n";
	
				++current;
			}

			if(toAdd != "")
			list.Add(1070722, toAdd);
		}

And this would make your OPL look like this in-game (when you hover/click on a player):

A_Li_N
Race : Alien
Class : Bringer of Death
Level : 11

Clever little trick. I'm sure I can make use of this. I just wish I'd thought of it.

A_Li_N actually thought of (and used) this method long ago, with his spellbooks. He helped me with object property lists on my Command Toolbar Stone

Vorspire made an easy-to-use method, though.

Again, this rocks. Good job man.

I said that Vorspire was the one to release the "official" method. Can't you read?

Don't worry about that...

I'm just surprised A_Li_N didn't release it when he made it.

[A_Li_N]

Technically, I did
It was part of my Full Spellbook script...not a standalone.
I, however, take no sort of credit for this as it's a prety generic 'idea' that just takes some thinking to put together.

Thanks for the release again!
