Poison Bow&Arrows scripts!

[Shadeh]

I modified the Arrow.cs and CompositeBow.cs, changed their scripts and name etc etc...

And blew the buttons off my keyboard twice.

I still haven't figured out a better way to shoot poisoned arrows without 1 million pages of script

Please post here if you find any bugs or something stuff like that.
Also if someone finds out a better hue for the arrows...

Description:

Poisons the target every succesfull hit (Lesser Poison), you can add the bow by typing [Add PoisonBow
and arrows, [Add PoisonArrow

Also this doesn't require any script modifications.

Note:*The scripts are modified versions of the ones stored in your folder automatically when you install RunUO*

Note#2: You should carefully watch the amount of the arrows, with GM Archery you usually poison your target very often.

Installation:

Just place the scripts in your Custom folder so everything stays arranged

(if doesn't work, try placing the PoisonArrow file in Scripts\Items\Resources\Arrows\ and the PoisonBow.cs in the Scripts\Items\Weapons\Ranged\ folder.)

this is kinda cool

Is this what ya lookin for?
public override int EffectID{ get{ return 0xF42; } }
public override Type AmmoType{ get{ return typeof( PoisonArrow ); } }
public override Item Ammo{ get{ return new PoisonArrow(); } }

No

Because i have that in my poisonbow.cs xD

I meaned that I need a somekind of a way to make a normal bow to check if the player has poisonarrows in their inventory and if so, shoot them instead of normal arrows.

You don't need to make new bows or anything of that nature. To make every bow/crossbow capable of firing poisoned ammunition, you just need to create two scripts and alter one:

1. Open Arrow.cs; use the find and replace to find all instances of "Arrow" and replace them with with "PoisonedArrow"

In the constructor, add

Name = "poisoned arrow";

So that it looks like this:

public PoisonedArrow( int amount ) : base( 0xF3F )
{
        Name = "poisoned arrow";
	Stackable = true;
	Weight = 0.1;
	Amount = amount;
}

Save the file as "PoisonedArrow.cs"

2. Open Bolt.cs; use the find and replace to find all instances of "Bolt" and replace them with "PoisonedBolt"

In the constructor, add

 Name = "poisoned bolt";

So that it looks like this:

public PoisonedBolt( int amount ) : base( 0x1BFB )
{
        Name = "poisoned bolt";
	Stackable = true;
	Weight = 0.1;
	Amount = amount;
}

Save the file as "PoisonedBolt.cs"

3. Open BaseRanged.cs

In the constructor, add "Poison = Poison.Lesser;" so that it looks like this:

public BaseRanged( int itemID ) : base( itemID )
{
     Poison = Poison.Lesser;
}

The will make all bows automatically poisoned, but they won't fire off the poison or display the property since the charges will be set to 0. You can change the poison level to whatever you want here, but for balance sake I just left it at Lesser.

In OnFired, add this code after "Container pack = attacker.Backpack;"

if( attacker.Player && pack != null && (( AmmoType == typeof(Arrow) && pack.ConsumeTotal( typeof( PoisonArrow ), 1 ) ) || ( AmmoType == typeof(Bolt) && pack.ConsumeTotal( typeof( PoisonBolt), 1 ) ) ) )
{
	PoisonCharges = 1;
				
	attacker.MovingEffect( defender, EffectID, 18, 1, false, false );
				
	return true;
}

In OnHit, add this code after "base.OnHit( attacker, defender );"

if ( Poison != null && PoisonCharges > 0 )
{
	--PoisonCharges;

	if ( Utility.RandomDouble() >= 0.75 ) // 25% chance to poison
		defender.ApplyPoison( attacker, Poison );
}

There. That makes all your archery weapons capable of shooting lesser poison arrows if you have one in your pack. If you have both poisoned arrows and non-poisoned arrows in your pack, it will use up the poisoned ones first. You could add a context menu entry that lets you choose whether or not you want to fire poisoned or non-poisoned, but that's a bit more in-depth. Similarly, you'd want to make it so players could craft poison arrows, but as far as making them fireable, this is all you need to do.

I went ahead and submitted this to the FAQ section too, since a lot of people ask me how to set this up.

Thanks Halciet

[Halciet]

Yep yep, and thanks for your submission and questions, because it finally pushed me to go ahead and write it all out, hah hah.

[Xacker]

constructor ???? witch script ???

[Halciet]

The constructor, in BaseRanged, for example, looks like:

public BaseRanged( int itemID ) : base( itemID )
{
}

In programming this method is referred to as a constructor, because it is what is called when the script is run. See the FAQ version of this post if you're still confused.

how about instead of em all being poisoned, with a poison potion you can poison 12 arrows at a time, and they get the poison of it, rehued, renamed, and when one poisoned via skill hits someone they get that poison? til their poisoned there normal arrows thou? any ideas?

[Ariakas89]

Ok how would I get deadly poison on just that bow. (dont want all my bows to shoot poison arrows just the poison bow.

So I assume I dont mess with baserange.cs at all correct?

I tried altering just

defender.AddToBackpack( Ammo )
defender.ApplyPoison( defender, Poison.Lesser );

but got error

Do i need to add something else in the constructor similar to what you have written for altering the poison in BaseRange.cs?

Very Cool script btw thanks for submitting. Just wanna test the heavier poison see if it doesnt create to big of an imbalance in the shard

NVM I'm a bone head, I didnt have the file formatted correcty. Flame at will, God knows I earned that one

[imanewb]

I made it where this bow would shoot regular arrow's. How would I go about making it have a much, much smaller chance of poisoning?

[Karavoc]

i've been thinking about some thing like this for a while, and i agree with Ariakas89 is it posible to take the weapon poisoning script and take a line from that add it to the arrows sothat you can use potions on em, (if any thing make a new item that you can put poison in and dip the arrows in) that way you can get the same pluses you get from having the poisoning skill....

i was also wondering if there was any way to make a script to allow you to drop say 5 tiles of oil and make flaiming arrows (or use magic arrow on it) and it makes a wall of fire. or does fire damage but the arrow can still be shot from a normal bow
