Changing itemID

[yuri99]

How do you change an items Custom ID in scripts? like heres my script, but I want it to be a spellbook with customizable options such as Manaregain and stuff. The item ID will put it into a spellbook, and the original might be a dagger or something. Plz help!

using System;
using Server;

namespace Server.Items
{
	public class SpellbookOfKnowledge : Dagger
	{
		public override WeaponAbility PrimaryAbility{ get{ return WeaponAbility.Disarm; } } 
        public override WeaponAbility SecondaryAbility{ get{ return WeaponAbility.Paralyze; } }
		
		[Constructable]
		public SpellbookOfKnowledge()
		{
			
			Hue = 1157;
			Name = "Spellbook Of Knowledge";
			Attributes.LowerManaCost = 15;
			Attributes.SpellChanneling = 1;
			Attributes.BonusInt = 5;
			Attributes.RegenMana = 5;
			Attributes.SpellDamage = 5;
			Attributes.CastSpeed = 1;
		}



		public SpellbookOfKnowledge( Serial serial ) : base( serial )
		{
		}

		public override void Serialize( GenericWriter writer )
		{
			base.Serialize( writer );

			writer.Write( (int) 0 );
		}
		
		public override void Deserialize(GenericReader reader)
		{
			base.Deserialize( reader );

			int version = reader.ReadInt();
		}
	}
}

Changing ItemID in the script will change the appearance of an item, but for it to take on the functionality of something else, you need to override all the methods and code your own handlers.

i just need the appearance changed

Just add

ItemID = ... into the constructor of the item and it will change the appearance.
