Item links triggered by quest scripts!

[killspree]

This is something I saw requested recently and figured I'd code it into 4.4 for the time being, since it's the most functional version atm - it's easily converted to 5.0, though. The jist of this code is that it allows folks writing quests to have the NPC link a player an item on the correct trigger, much like a link is shown when players loot corpses. I figure this is a neat little feature to have and will be great for those serverops wanting to give players a preview of their possible rewards for completing specific quests.

So here we go!

parser.cpp ~line 2021 add:

			else if (strstr(strlwr(arglist[0]),"itemlink")) {
				     const Item_Struct* item = 0;
                     int16 itemid = atoi(arglist[1]);
					 item = database.GetItem(itemid);
                     mob->CastToClient()->Message(0, "%s tells you, '%c00%i  %s%c",other->GetName(),0x12, item->item_nr, item->name, 0x12);
			}

NOTE: the space within the message between 00%i and %s is needed or the link text will be cut off.

parser.cpp ~line 2299 change:

basic_functions.h ~line 344 add:

	if (strstr(string,"itemlink"))      {   return 1;    }

NOTE: My parser.cpp for 4.4 is HEAVILY modified, and is fairly old - I hand-merged a good bit of the 4.4 stuff in. The line numbers in the release source may not be the same, so I suggest you don't attempt to add this code unless you know where it should go within the files.

An example script of the code would be as follows:

EVENT_SAY{
if($1 == "Hail") { say("Greetings, $name! You seem like the adventurous type, is this [true]?") }
if($1- =~ "true") { say("Aha! I knew it! Well, lets see here... I may have something for you, and if you accept, I would be willing to give you a [choice] of rewards.") }
if($1- =~ "choice") { say("So you're interested, eh? I'll assume so and give you a glimpse of what you're in for if you can accomplish the goal! Your choices would be either a [sword], a [dagger], or a [club]. Just let me know which peaks your interest and I'll give you a bit o' taste of what you can expect!") }
if($1- =~ "sword") { itemlink("itemid") }
if($1- =~ "dagger") { itemlink("itemid") }
if($1- =~ "club") { itemlink("itemid") }
}

This of course is very basic code - if someone wants they can modify it to display the link within custom text, I'm sure.

Enjoy!

Wowa thats long! Thanks though, this should help me add a bit of creativity to my quests.
