Usable ToStatic Command

[Khaz]

Description: This simple command will allow you to convert items and add-ons into their static equivalent. It was written for freezing preparation, as freezing only locks in statics, walls, and floors.
This ToStatic command is called "usable" because it is derived from the BaseCommand class, and comes with the ability for you to use the Multi and Area modifiers.

Installation: Download the attached file and place it in your preferred Scripts subdirectory.

Usage:

• To explode a single add-on into its static parts: [ToStatic -> target the add-on
• To convert multiple items or add-ons: [m ToStatic -> target the objects to convert
• If you have a large area of items or add-ons that you want to be converted to statics: [area ToStatic -> target the two corners of the bounding box around the area

Updates:

• 05-22-06: Updated the file to initialize command registration. This resolves the problem where the command would not be recognized as valid.
• 05-18-06: Updated the command to handle converting containers in a better fashion. Containers will now dump their contents to the ground when converted. These contents will not be converted to statics.

If any problems are encountered with the use of this file, please report it in this thread.

Thx a lot!

[Khaz]

I've updated the file so that container contents are not lost when a container is targeted with this command. The usage is still the same.

YES! Good job bro! I'm very impressed!

Infact, I've been waiting for something like this because we have addons that are around 200k items (new towns built in UOArchitect) that we anted to add. Now YOU have made it possible. ++++++Karma bro..

What is the command you're using when you receive that feedback?

Make sure that the file is underneath your RunUO\Scripts directory. Also ensure that line 16 reads Commands = new string[]{ "ToStatic" }; and line 18 reads Usage = "ToStatic";.
The most likely reason for the invalid command message is that the file is simply not in the Scripts directory, so make sure it is there.

The reason it's not been working is because you need to go into Commands.cs and put:

 
Register( new ToStaticCommand() );

in the Initialize() method.

May as well just do that in the ToStaticCommand class' Initialize(). Will have to make it TargetCommands.Register( new ToStaticCommand() );, though.

Yeh, even better suggestion

[xonmesall]

say what? i dident quite get that.... so what do i have to do?

[tobyjug]

Put in this:

public static void Initialize()
{
TargetCommands.Register(new ToStaticCommand());
}

just before the

public ToStaticCommand()

[Khaz]

Good catch, tobyjug and Aenima. Thanks. I had forgotten all about that step with new command additions.

The download file has been updated to resolve this issue.
