A death shroud - litterally :P

[NoobAttack]

Summary:
You double click it and you enter the land of the dead for 60 seconds. When you wear it you get the name mod "A ghost of the night". i did use sections from the hooded shroud script(made by Biscuit). however i added and came up with this new concept. Hope you enjoy it. comes with a female and male version to make sure there are no sex changes. Hope you enjoy it:P

Description:


Installation:
shove it in ur custom scripts folder

Nice job thanks

[Zorce]

Also a question since im alone testing my shard =) Are you seen in this state by the living or is it the same properties as the dead (i.e. you can be seen if your in war mode) ?? Let me know. Again awsome job.

[Gyran]

yeah thanks for making a script i asked for help with and posting it on the forums with all credit towards you not even mentioning my name. way to bring a friend down =/ i started the script and asked for some help, so you take it and post it on here? thanks.

okay i admit you asked me for help. but i made all the basis of the script myself and had to work hard to put a timer in.

[Gyran]

k.. np, i did have the idea and i did work all day on mine =P but you shoulda at least put my name in..

Is it hard work getting help from the script support forum? Also why do you guys beat around the bush so much, just say who the credit should go to if it is that important.

[NoobAttack]

bean it took me like a day to get it working. Just because you may be better at scripting doesnt mean you can take credit away from me.

I couldn't care less about credit. You made it and it works. Sounds good to me. I don't understand the point of this script, but oh well.

[NoobAttack]

its just somthing for players. alot of things in uo have no point but they are just fun to have on the shard and a good gift for players.

[NoobAttack]

if anyone has ideas for new scripts i could make pm me. dont make em 2 advance please :P

[biscuit]

i do not take credit i did not put my name in that script

try this:

(i labeled the file Shroud_of_the_Dead.cs)

using System;
using Server;
using Server.Items;

namespace Server.Items
{
	[FlipableAttribute( 0x2683, 0x2684 )]
	public class Shroud_of_the_Dead : BaseOuterTorso	
	{
		private Mobile mob;
		private Timer MyTimer;
		private int m_Gender;
		
		[Constructable]
		public Shroud_of_the_Dead() : base( 0x2683 )
		{
			Weight = 5.0;
			Name = "Shroud of the Dead";
			Layer = Layer.OuterTorso;
		}
		
		public override void OnDoubleClick( Mobile m )
		{		
			if( Parent != m ) { m.SendMessage( "You must be wearing the robe to use it!" ); }
			else
			{
				m_Gender = m.Body;
				MyTimer = new CountdownTimer(m, this);
				MyTimer.Start();
				m.SendMessage( "You are now dead." );
				m.PlaySound( 0x57 );
				m.Body = 402;
				m.NameMod = null;
				m.RemoveItem(this);
				m.EquipItem(this);
				if( m.Kills >= 5) { m.Criminal = true; }
				if( m.GuildTitle != null) { m.DisplayGuildTitle = true; }
			}
		}

		public override void OnDoubleClickDead( Mobile m )
		{
			if( Parent != m ) { m.SendMessage( "You must be wearing the robe to use it!" ); }
			else
			{
				if ( m.Body == 403 || m.Body == 402 )
				{
					m.SendMessage( "You return to the real world." ); 
					m.NameMod = "a ghost of the night";
					m.Body = m_Gender;
					m.RemoveItem(this);
					m.EquipItem(this);
				}
			}
		}
	
		public override bool OnEquip( Mobile from )
		{
			if ( ItemID == 0x2683 )
			{
				from.NameMod = "a ghost of the night";
				from.DisplayGuildTitle = false;
				from.Criminal = false;
			}
			return base.OnEquip(from);
		}

		public override void OnRemoved( Object o )
		{
			if( o is Mobile ) { ((Mobile)o).NameMod = null; }
			if( o is Mobile && ((Mobile)o).Kills >= 5) { ((Mobile)o).Criminal = true; }
			if( o is Mobile && ((Mobile)o).GuildTitle != null ) { ((Mobile)o).DisplayGuildTitle = true; }
			base.OnRemoved( o );
		}
	
		public Shroud_of_the_Dead( Serial serial ) : base( serial )
		{	
		}
	
		public override void Serialize( GenericWriter writer )
		{
			base.Serialize( writer );
			writer.Write( (int) 0 ); // version
			writer.Write( (int) m_Gender);
		}
	
		public override void Deserialize( GenericReader reader )
		{
			base.Deserialize( reader );
			int version = reader.ReadInt();
			m_Gender = reader.ReadInt();
		}
		
		public class CountdownTimer: Timer 
		{ 
			private int m_Ticker; 
			private Mobile m_Mobile;
			private Shroud_of_the_Dead robe;
			
			public CountdownTimer( Mobile mobile, Shroud_of_the_Dead U_Robe ): base( TimeSpan.FromSeconds( 1.0 ), TimeSpan.FromSeconds( 1.0 ) ) 
			{ 
				m_Mobile = mobile;
				robe = U_Robe;
				Priority = TimerPriority.TwoFiftyMS; 
				m_Ticker = 60; 
			} 
	
	
			protected override void OnTick() 
			{ 
				try
				{
					switch (m_Ticker) 
					{ 
						case 60: m_Mobile.SendMessage("60 seconds..."); break; 
						case 50: m_Mobile.SendMessage("50 seconds..."); break; 
						case 40: m_Mobile.SendMessage("40 seconds..."); break; 
						case 30: m_Mobile.SendMessage("30 seconds..."); break; 
						case 20: m_Mobile.SendMessage("20 seconds..."); break; 
						case 10: m_Mobile.SendMessage("10 seconds..."); break; 
						case 8: m_Mobile.SendMessage("7 seconds..."); break;
						case 7: m_Mobile.SendMessage("6 seconds..."); break;
						case 6: m_Mobile.SendMessage("5 seconds..."); break;
						case 5: m_Mobile.SendMessage("4 seconds..."); break;
						case 4: m_Mobile.SendMessage("3 seconds..."); break;
						case 3: m_Mobile.SendMessage("2 seconds..."); break;
						case 2: m_Mobile.SendMessage("1 second..." ); break;
						case 1: m_Mobile.SendMessage("You return to living!!", m_Ticker.ToString() ); break;
						case 0:  m_Mobile.Body = 400; this.Stop(); break; 
						// default: break;
					}
				}
				catch
				{
				}
				m_Ticker--; 
			}
		}
	}
}

that should work for both male and female in 1 item by storing the body value in the item itself.

**edit**
i only used a different name and label for a few reasons:

1. personal taste: death shroud and hooded shroud already exist. as this is an item that allows a non dead person to enter the realm of the dead, "shroud of the dead" seemed appropriate, and you cant confuse it with the other two existing shrouds.

2. your convenience - you wont have to overwrite your version to test this one.

Becareful!! Wouldn't players be able to transpass doors with that?

[Jarrod]

if the house is public, yes. i think that includes locked doors in public houses.

[sirens song]

I kinda like this idea, i havnt looked at the code, but i imagine it changes your bodyvalue to that of the deads to everything is black and white? You should put a cariable serialized in its properties that marks the sex of the player.

So when you double click it saves their sex, then changes body depending on sex, then once 60 seconds is up, it checks the variable and sets them back accordingly.

And should also make a player able to cross any locked door made by GMs for a quest. I also thinkg that they will go over traps withotu activating it(although I might be wrong). If you are 0 lagged, you can cross a largecorridor full of traps and locked/trapped doors with that. I really liked this addition, just want to call attention to this fact.

[Lucid Nagual]

Now my account name is "a ghost of the night". Lol. How can I correct this problem?

[Jarrod]

hmm it changed your name and didnt save your original name?
or its like incognito, if i log off with incognito then log in, it shows the incog name. after it wears off and i log out and back in again, the name is right again.
