3 Fix Questions Help

[mayalona]

i have 3 questions i think it would be very easy for you (but not for me -.-),
- How i put a skill delay to use? i need some seconds delay before the player hide his self after he use the skill.

- When i detonate the explosion potion, the countdown start and its ok, but i want after the detonate IF i put the potion on the ground, restart count from 3... atm its working like this: detonate and start with 3, i put on the ground and its make 2 ... 1... and BOOM. i want the countdown restarting when i move!

- When the potion is in countdown and it is in the ground, i want its locked on the ground no player levelaccess can take/move it from the ground to stop the countdown.


many thanks guys for the help, i like runuo but i have to train some @scripting ;P

In answer to your first problem here's a nice tutorial on Timers Scripting for Dummies: Troubling Things That Start With "T" Part 1: Timers

I still use that from time to time.

As to your second question (if I understand it) you want the countdown to start once youve dropped it on the ground? I've taken a snippet from the Item.cs (from the core files)

		public virtual bool OnDroppedToWorld( Mobile from, Point3D p )
		{
			if( Nontransferable && from.Player && from.AccessLevel <= AccessLevel.GameMaster )
			{
				HandleInvalidTransfer( from );
				return false;
			}

			return true;
		}

which looks like you can just write an override (public override bool OnDroppedToWorld(Mobile from, Point3D p) ) and place your code inside the module.

And for question 3, this doesn't answer your question completely...but this works. You will need to do some modifying. I took this from one of my scripts. Once the item is placed on the ground, nobody else but the person listed as Owner may move it.

		public override bool OnDragLift( Mobile from )
		{
			if ((from == this.Owner)|| from.AccessLevel >= AccessLevel.GameMaster )
			{
				return base.OnDragLift(from);
			}
			else
			{
				from.SendMessage("This doesn't belong to you");
				return false;
			}
		}

Had an opportunity to go over the BaseExplosionPotion script. Not an easy script to make do what you wish. Not impossible though.

Seems the biggest issue is when you reposition the thing it stops the timer. I can make it so it can't be picked up (with the method I posted) but this repositions it and stops the timer. I'm thinking, you can still use the method but track down the reposition thing and turn it off. I think this is the method.

		private void Reposition_OnTick( object state )
		{
			if ( Deleted )
				return;
        
			object[] states = (object[])state;
			Mobile from = (Mobile)states[0];
			IPoint3D p = (IPoint3D)states[1];
			Map map = (Map)states[2];

			Point3D loc = new Point3D( p );
        
			if ( InstantExplosion )
				Explode( from, true, loc, map );
			else
				MoveToWorld( loc, map );
		}

As far as starting the timer when it's dropped. I misunderstood what you meant...well, I mean, in conjunction to the script itself. I had assumed that you literally mean, upon dropping it to the ground. The explosion potion has a targeting method. It's my belief that, to do what you want, you need to move the timer inside the target method. But, this can be tricky too. Give me some time to look at it.

[mayalona]

Oh ok! i wait for your help then...

Just need when i target on a player, and of curse the potion moves in the ground (same tile as the player is), the countdown restart from 3, and the player cant take it from the ground (you know with scavenger its easy to take it and stop the explosion)..

[Thagoras]

WOW am I having trouble with this. I thought it was just going to be a simple case. You move it (or even nudge it) and the timer stops...and that's what it's all about.

I Know that this link has something to do with it.Passing parimeters using TimerCallback..

But I'm starting to see that for the moment, this is over my head and if someone else has anything to contribute that would be awesome.

At any rate, if you add this code

		public override bool OnDragLift( Mobile from )
		{  
			if ( !IsChildOf(from.Backpack) && ( m_Timer != null ) && (from.AccessLevel < AccessLevel.GameMaster) )
			{
				from.SendMessage("You can't pick that up");
				return false;
			}
			else
			{
				return base.OnDragLift(from);
			}
		}

you can't pick it up once the timer has been started...but it seems that m_Timer always remains not null once it's been double clicked. I suppose that you could retarget something. But the timer issue needs to be fixed before you should worry about anything else.
