Consumable items

Consumable items destroys itself when used! They can trigger many effects(usually powers).

Simply enter the consumables parameter in the basics section in feature ''family''.

Possible properties of consumables can be viewed on this dedicated page.

As usual.. i present contents of the “Data Sheet files” directly, without going through “Georges Editor”, to simplify the presentation, but feel free to use this editor if you like. This also allows to have the LOGs filled out, but which i removed for the sake of clarity.

Contents of the Data Sheet

This simple object contains only the “normal sections” of a .sitem object, namely basics and 3D, plus the section dedicated to consumables: Consumable.

It is therefore appropriate to fill the “DS” with the following sections:

As usual, the parentage will save repetitions.

Sample file

Here's an example of a “complete datasheet” for this object type:

speedegg01.sitem

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<FORM Revision="$Revision: 1.2 $" State="modified">
  <STRUCT>
    <COMMENTS>Egg accelerating this type:</COMMENTS>
    <STRUCT Name="basics">
      <ATOM Name="name" Value="Consommable"/>
      <ATOM Name="family" Value="consumable"/>
      <ATOM Name="stackable" Value="99"/>
      <ATOM Name="Drop or Sell" Value="false"/>
      <ATOM Name="Bulk" Value="1"/>
      <ATOM Name="Saleable" Value="false"/>
      <ATOM Name="Consumable" Value="true"/>
    </STRUCT>
    <STRUCT Name="3d">
      <ATOM Name="icon" Value="MP_EGG.tga"/>
      <ATOM Name="icon background" Value="BK_zorai.tga"/>
    </STRUCT>
    <STRUCT Name="Consumable">
      <ATOM Name="EffectPhrase" Value="acceleration01.sphrase"/>
    </STRUCT>
  </STRUCT>
  <STRUCT/>
  <STRUCT/>
  <STRUCT/>
  <STRUCT/>
  <LOG></LOG>
</FORM>

Note the presence of true for the consumable characteristic, in addition to the family type.

We should test to set the value to False, to see if the power of the object can be triggered at will

As usual, remember Parentage to be able to decline the series by reducing the seizures.

Adding to language files

Do not forget to add our new datasheets to the language files, so the client may be able to dislplay them. For objects, the file type is: item_words_XX.txt (XX denoting the ISO code of the language, see part dedicated to localization). The itemID values entered in this file must match the name ending of .sitem' speedegg01.
