Armor "swap"

Post by camaxide »

So I have an armor that grants 100% damage reduction, and gives 150 armor points (BasicArmorPickup)
the problem is that I want the item to get picked up and overwrite a blue-armor. (or any time where the player has 150 or more armor.
The armor will in these cases not get picked up, since the current armorpoints are higher than the new one.
I can force it with a alwayspickup flag, but then it's picked up, but still not applied..

How can I do this? Is the only way to add a script that is ran when the player picks it up that first removes a players armor, then adds the item? hopefully it's possible within the actor-code to make it work :)

That's what I would do. And, no, you don't need ACS. You can achieve it all in DECORATE, by using CustomInventory.
