Two Questions from a NEW Scriptor

[DHMagicMan]

I'm starting by learning to read and modify (slightly) existing scripts before trying to build my own.

I have 2 small questions that will help me understand changes that are possible.

First is in the BaseVendor.cs script.

		public virtual TimeSpan RestockDelay
		{
			get
			{
				return TimeSpan.FromHours( 1 );
			}
		}

If I want vendors based on this class to restock in shorter time period can I set this value for .25 hours or is there another way to set it for 15 minutes?


Second is about the sound when items are dropped say on the floor or in a pack / box etc. I've looked in just about every script I can think of trying to find an example of how to make a sound happen on drag-drop. Can anyone tell me how to make a sound happen when I drop an item into a custom book or box etc?

Thanks a lot for your help.

I can answer your first question easily..

TimeSpan.FromMinutes( 15 );

Your second question really depends on what specific circumstances you're dealing with. If you're working on a container that inherits from BaseContainer, then you can just specify it by overriding DefaultDropSound, as seen in all the containers in Scripts\Items\Containers\Container.cs

Thanks for your help on both issues.

I'm sorry if the questions seeded stupid.

I'm (obviously) very new at this.

That's why this is the New Join forum.

You're welcome.

Thanks for all this. I've found the PlaySound examples now.

This brought up another question though. When you open a spell book you hear a "Book Opening" sound which I would expect to be defined in a DoubleClick area. There's no sound info that I can find though. I've checked the items/books and don't see any open book sound there either.

Is the sound being inherited from someplace else?

I'm trying to be as independant as possible but it's sort of like learning to crawl and then walk, isn't it?

I would assume that event is handled by the client because of:

EventSink.OpenSpellbookRequest += new OpenSpellbookRequestEventHandler( EventSink_OpenSpellbookRequest );

Which means there is some internal code either in the client or the core that handles that.

[Thraxus]

A lot of the code pertaining to the spellbooks is located within the core, and some of it is handled by the client.

Edit: Phantom ninja'd my reply!

Gotta watch that Phantom. He'll do it every time. :P

[Thraxus]

Ack! Everywhere I go I'm either being ninja'd or running into ninjas!

Maybe it's your Cologne?

Yeah.. that must be it.
