[FIXED (2.1.15) - BUG] Item spawning directly to champion

Also, if anyone tries to reproduce this "bug" (is it?, maybe not) remember to look around. The item will be there but could be facing another way because the item will drop the direction of whatever you used to trigger your script.

And if you can reproduce this, please, do tell, here. If you can't, still please do tell and call me a Butt. It's en vogue... sorry I'm a time traveler.

I'm able to reproduce both cases so you're not losing it...yet

Funny thing is if you put:

Code: Select all

party.party:getChampion(1):insertItem(1, spawn("dagger").item)

in a script that executes when you start, you get a dagger on the floor but no dagger in hand...weird. The script has to be triggered to get the double dagger result.

I did this:

Code: Select all

d = spawn("dagger", party.level, party.x, party.y, party.facing, party.elevation, "dagger_x")
party.party:getChampion(1):insertItem(1, d.item)
d:destroy()

and I got a dagger in hand and no dagger on the floor. This is strange though.

I believe *our* scripts are loaded in before they have access to top-level global functions like spawn(). I believe this is why. And yes, I put the above examples in a script on a timer to execute after the game is fully loaded.

Edit: and to follow up this reply, yes, destroy() does clear up the problem of duplicates but I read a few times on LoG1 forums to never destroy the item once given to a champion. Unclear why (mostly because I forgot and now I can't find these threads) but it was stressed quite extensively.

There seems to be something wrong here. I'll dig deeper into this later today.

Btw. You can give nil instead of the id to spawn() and it will automatically created a unique id. This is actually recommended.

Ok, ghost item bug confirmed. Will be fixed in 2.1.15.

Thanks petri, can finally give the [BUG] mark

Thank you for the upcoming fix and my weird tutorial directions.
