Pickup items

Post by hermestrismi »

Hi everyone,
I returned to wesnoth after a year and I am trying to improve one of my old campaign but I forget many thgs about wml so I need help (knowing i m still using 1.12 because 1.14 is hard to open in my pc)
the idea briefly is:
1. when a unit dies, there is a chance that it drops an item (weapon, portion, clues, ...).
2. every dropped item isn't unique (it can be found again by another unit that can use it too),
3. the following wml use only two possibilities for make the test easy,
problem:
since I used only

Code: Select all

                [set_variable]
                    name=item_unknown_x
                    value=$x1
                [/set_variable]
                [set_variable]
                    name=item_unknown_y
                    value=$y1
                [/set_variable]
so, the item can be found only with the last killed unit which means one usuful item per turn.
the whole code I wrote is:

Code: Select all

#define ITEM_EVENT
    [event]
        name=die
        first_time_only=no
        [filter]
            [not]
			    side=1
			[/not]
        [/filter]
                [set_variable]
                    name=item_unknown_x
                    value=$x1
                [/set_variable]
                [set_variable]
                    name=item_unknown_y
                    value=$y1
                [/set_variable]
			
                [set_variable]			
                    name=random_drop

Try setting delayed_variable_substitution=no in the moveto events.
And use [primary_attack] in [fire_event] to pass weapon.x, weapon.y information to the add_axe, add_staff events.

Re: Pickup items

Unless you show what you have so far, I won't be able to help you much.
delayed_variable_substitution=no was supposed to take care of using the same variables for all dropped items.

Dropping items on death isn't something new, you should be able to find ample examples on how it is done.
I think Dead_Water has one, there might be others within the mainline campaigns.

For a fairly easy and straight forward approach, I recommend looking at how it is done in Den of Thieves. Look for "Killing a captain" in the file mission_events.cfg.

Re: Pickup items

Post by Mabuse »

basically dropping items isnt as trivial as it may seem. you cant just put a moveto event into another event (with non predefined x,y).

because: nested events will not work, so BASIC EVENTS work only for predefined items that can be found on the map at start.

the best approach for dropping items at whatever occasion is to store the LOCATIONS where the items were dropped into a variable, and then check with moveto events and fire specific events.

i will post a template here, i tried to explain it a bit, but you have to chew yourself through the routine anyways.
it requires a bit preparation with macros to keep everything slim

credit go out to BOB THE MIGHTY for the store-locations thingy, this is the best solution imo

EDITED: i tried to give the example macros more intuitive names ;)

#this is a MACRO that defines the MOVETO_EVENT, it is on top of the code since the MACRO needs to be defined first
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#define ITEM_PICK NAME

{ITEM_PICK (ITEM3)}
{ITEM_PICK (ITEM4)}

# this is a standardized item-event macro, it helps reducing code that you would have to write otherwise all the time again
# it will trigger all nessesary codes and remove the item graphic and delete as well the stored location

Den of Thieves is by bob the mighty and jb ;)
Yes, the find_in with store_location is brilliant.

it work partially. I mean sometimes I have only images and sometimes the message appears many times.
I think I have to clear some variables and to upgrade the code somehow to eliminate any loops. any ideas?

Re: Pickup items

Post by vghetto »

With the store_location + find approach, you'll need to have a separate store location variable and moveto for each item type.
So it should be something like axe_dropped_xy and staff_dropped_xy

The [remove_item][filter]... in the moveto event looks wrong.

The [store_locations] in the die event is overwriting the older dropped items locations, you'll need to append it to the list instead.

Here is a better template to use.
I based this on Den of Thieves...
You'll have to fill in the [message] stuff and give the actual [object] and the rest.

Code: Select all

    [event]
        name=die
        first_time_only=no
        [filter]
            [not]

        [if]
            {VARIABLE_CONDITIONAL random equals axe}
            [then]
                {PLACE_IMAGE items/axe.png $x1 $y1}
                [store_locations]
                    x,y=$x1,$y1
                    variable=item_axe_xy
                    [or]

        [/filter]

        {VARIABLE pick_up_item no}

        # Put your [message] and [object] code here
        # Randomly set the axe type here and give the corresponding object accordingly.
        # only use $x1,$y1 here. don't worry about the find_in
        # If the unit takes the item then set pick_up_item to yes like so  {VARIABLE pick_up_item yes}

        [if]

                [/store_locations]
            [/then]
        [/if]
        {CLEAR_VARIABLE pick_up_item}
    [/event]
Edit: don't mess with the die event. Your code would only be in the moveto where I have the comments.
It is in the moveto that the random types of axes or staffs are set. The die event should only register the location and put the image on the screen.

Re: Pickup items

Post by vghetto »

Here's the modified PICKUP_ITEM macro. It's based on mainline PICKUPPABLE_ITEM macro.
This is what is supposed to go in the moveto event just like how you had above.

Code: Select all

#define PICKUP_ITEM ID CAN_TAKE_FILTER_WML IMAGE TEXT TAKE_IT_STRING LEAVE_IT_STRING CANNOT_TAKE_TEXT OBJECT_WML
    # ! {PICKUP_ITEM ring_of_hp race=human items/ring-red.png
    # !     _"$unit.name finds a pretty ring. Should he pick it up?"
    # !     _"ring of HP^Take it"
    # !     _"ring of HP^Leave it"
    # !     _"$unit.name finds a pretty ring. But only a human can take it!" (
    # !     [object]
    # !         name= _ "Ring of HP"
    # !         image=items/ring-red.png
    # !         description= _ "This ring grants the wearer +10 max hp!"
    # !
    # !         [effect]
    # !             apply_to=hitpoints
    # !             increase_total=10
    # !         [/effect]
    # !     [/object]
    # ! )}

    [if]
        [have_unit]
            x,y=$x1,$y1
            {CAN_TAKE_FILTER_WML}
        [/have_unit]
        [then]
            [message]
                speaker=narrator
                message={TEXT}
                image={IMAGE}
                [option]
                    label={TAKE_IT_STRING}
                    [command]
                       {OBJECT_WML}
                       {VARIABLE pick_up_item yes}
                    [/command]
                [/option]
                [option]
                    label={LEAVE_IT_STRING}
                    [command]
                        [allow_undo]
                        [/allow_undo]
                    [/command]
                [/option]
            [/message]
        [/then]
        [else]
            [message]
                speaker=narrator
                message={CANNOT_TAKE_TEXT}
                image={IMAGE}
            [/message]
            [allow_undo]
            [/allow_undo]
        [/else]
    [/if]
#enddef
If you want to reduce the chance of an item being dropped on death, then just add none to the list in the die event.

Ugh, I ended up writing it anyway so might as well post it for you.
Here is the part that goes into the moveto for the axe. This uses the PICKUP_ITEM defined above.

Code: Select all

       [set_variable]
            name=random_axe
            rand=1,2
        [/set_variable]

                _"Axe of HP^Take it"
                _"Axe of HP^Leave it"
                _"$unit.name finds a pretty axe. But only a human can take it!" (
                    [object]

Re: Pickup items

Post by vghetto »

This wasn't a conditional. remove the [if] [then] and the closing [/then] [/if]. Keep {VARIABLE pick_up_item no}

Code: Select all

        [if]
        {VARIABLE pick_up_item no}
		[then]
Just to let you know, there is a tiny bug in my code. Since the random_axe gets reassigned on each move to, moving onto the item and not picking up will give a different axe type. You'll have to figure out a way of keeping track of what it should settle into.
