(TEST) Item Distribution

[core]

Ok I made a quest where you hail an NPC and say yes if you like the newbie (test) items. Everything works fine just wondering if there is an easier way to distribut like

quest::summonitem("38105-38125");

Anyways, here is some code it works and the (TEST) items for class specific. Feel free to use and if you know an easier way let me know pls :)

CLASS ITEM's

Warrior 38000-38020
Monk 38021-38041
Rogue 38042-38062
Shadowknight 38063-38083
Paladin 38084-38104
Ranger 38105-38125
Beastlord 38129-38146
Bard 38147-38167
Cleric 38186-38188

[reddogut]

I have checked and as far as I can tell there is no support for summoning multiple items with a single quest::summonitem command. Although that would be a useful thing in certain cases.

[Shendare]

I believe Perl supports iterating loops as follows, which would be cleaner.


if ($class eq 'Warrior')
{
foreach (38000..38020)
{
quest::summonitem($_);
}
}
elsif ($class eq 'Shadowknight')
{
foreach (38063..38083)
{
quest::summonitem($_);
}
}


21 items at once, eh? I feel like I've read somewhere that there's a limit to how many items could be stored on a player's cursor, but I don't really remember.

[yoman258]

I believe there is a limit, would there be a way to spawn a bag full of items? Isn't that how it was done on the test server on live? Kind of like the clicky pet focus items servers have, where you summon a bag of stuff... I don't know how plausible this is, but if it could be done it would probably be the best way to go.

[Valdaun]

I thought this was a cool idea for gearing up bots, so here's my much simplified version as requested originally (fully tested on my own server). You do receive all 20 items on your cursor, but this works fine at least on 0.8.0+ and SoF client.


# Gear summoner for quick and easy bot equipping

# This gear is the full set of "Class Slot (Test)" for each class
