Once we got a proper scripting language this will come automatically. But with DECORATE as it is it won't happen. I might as well close this thread.

That'd be even worse. I won't add new code for things that can already be done just so some people that refuse to make 'dirty hacks' that combine DECORATE with ACS. The real hack would be the addition of a redundant feature.

I was thinking of a property for a (new) inventory subclass, not a codepointer.

Alright, what we need is a way for this kind of thing to happen.

Dynamic ammo capacities - This is already supported via ACS, so that's ok.
Some sort of function like random() that you can specify a type and it returns the number of the item held, so that way with some simple math we could take that result, and generate a number that is lower the more of said item is held for things such as hitscan offsets, or whatnot. If we can get that then the rest of this should be settled, and if it's already in, I have to agree with Graf, acs combined with decorate can already do what you need.

Then these special projects can surely use ACS with DECORATE. Just adding bloat to the engine so that you can avoid a minor inconvenience is not a good design decision.

That's because only 1/1000 projects are large scale. :wink:

A purely DECORATE way of doing this would be nice, though.
I won't disagree.

Hopefully this is extended to projectiles being able to check the player who fired the parent projectile that fired the child projectile.

Your code looks good to me. (Even though Intelligence is spelled wrong. ;))

Code: Select all

int NewCapacity = Level * 50;
NewCapacity += 5 * (CheckInventory("ManaExtender"));

SetAmmoCapacity ("Mana", NewCapacity);
So, based on what you had here. If I wrote something like this:

Code: Select all

int NewAmmoCapacity = Level*5 + Intellegence*10;
SetAmmoCapacity ("Mana", NewCapacity);
Woul it be +5 mana per level and +10 mana per intelligence? Or am I writing bad syntax here?

Properly coded you don't need multiple scripts and yes, of course you can do inventory checks in ACS before making any change.
