Dyanmic Object Spawning

[Derision]

I had a quick look at this earlier. At least in qeytoqrg, campfires are 'doors':

mysql> select id, doorid, name from doors where zone='qeytoqrg';
+------+--------+----------+
| id   | doorid | name     |
+------+--------+----------+
| 2089 |      1 | SHAK     |

| 2091 |      3 | SHAK     |
| 2088 |      4 | DOOR1    |
| 2087 |      5 | CAMPFIRE |
| 2086 |      6 | TORCH1   |
| 2085 |      7 | BARREL3  |
| 2084 |      8 | CAMPFIRE |
| 2083 |      9 | TORCH1   |

Well, I looked into spawning items on the ground and changing the models and what not works for dynamic object spawning, but as you said, they can be picked up and I'm unsure of how to make it so they can't be picked up : \.

Another issue with them is that they have an expiration timer. This can be used advantageously though if an expiration timer of 0 means the object will stay alive until it is removed.

Now, for getting the thing to work as quickly as possible, I think the click events for the items need to be investigated to see about making an item spawn that can't be selected (isn't added to the click event), but once again, if this is defined client side and the server is simply syncing with the client, then object spawning via items is a 100% dead end and other methods have to be looked into.

If it isn't, then the modifications shouldn't take more than 20-40 minutes for someone who knows what they're doing.

I'm not sure how to find these other than looking at packet collected logs, but I am almost certain world objects can be spawned as containers; aza77 did this ages ago in paradigma, making campfires that could be summoned and stored in your inventory with a spell effect (see the spells code in zone)

I looked up an old OLD OLD (but relevant) post on this;

http://www.eqemulator.net/forums/sho...light=campfire

and then I looked at this command:

quest::CreateGroundObject(itemid, x, y, z, heading) which lets the quest script create ground objects in the zone like if they had been dropped.

now, make an item with a weapon model ID of IT78, spawn the campfire on the ground with quest::CreateGroundObject or even make it droppable and drop it yourself, and you have yourself a portable campfire. Now, objects can obviously be told to do a lot more than this; they can store items (see: tradeskill containers) act as doors (I think?) etc, and you could expand upon the quest command CreateGroundObject to even store the entry in objects and place it on the entitylist instantly rather than having to zone out for a door to take effect (meaning dynamic containers theoretically)

also, expand upon this and you could have people storing items in their temporary boxes you could place on the ground. i'll mess with the code when I have time, i'm personally intrigued by this :p

The victim:



Place it on the ground and...



Pick it up and it goes back into the inventory. Portable campfires for all!

SQL, uses item ID 999:

I didn't bother making it a container, but I bet you could make it one and store items in it, drop it, and have someone come along and take your campfire, put more items in it, etc.

This works with all objects that have a model file, too. Imagine actual portable tradeskill stations, you could make a quest command to depop and repop the item and you could use it as a tradeskill station, when you are done trigger the quest again and put the tradeskill item back on the cursor. I would like to see this done if not for eqemulator functionality, but if for something like EQBots unique to show the limits of the client.

of course i'm kind of lost at the coding part of that...

but hey, I can dream can't I? :p

edited: forgot SQL.

The problem we were discussing is making it so that it can't be picked up.

[Deimos]

So... anyone make any progress on this yet? : p
