Using/Consuming a potion?

[SpacialKatana]

I need a helpful nudge. I've defined a recipe and item for a greater heal potion but I'm a bit stuck being able to make the champion use it. I know I have to use the onUseItem hook in the item's def, but I'm not sure of the syntax and command to heal...

onUseItem = function...
heal =100
end

???Help

I'm fairly confident you can use cloneObject and just set the healing value, ID and item name different to produce a simpler potion.

Been trying to...the item is cloned from the "potion_healing" item, but when right clicking nothing happens. it even says right click to use in the tool tip that comes up ingame.
I'm also not 100% sure what the healing command is either>.<

I'm prolly just being dumb...it's 5am here

Can you show your cloned object? Have you added a onUseItem hook?

From http://www.grimrock.net/modding/asset-d ... reference/

onUseItem: a hook which is called when the item is used (e.g. by right-clicking on it). The function gets two parameters: the item used and the champion who used the item. If the function returns true, the item is consumed when it is used.

Here you go Shroom...it doesn't break the game, but it don't work either

Code: Select all

cloneObject{
        name = "potion_healing_greater",
        baseObject = "potion_healing",
        uiName = "Greater Healing Potion",
        description = "A Bernard strength healing potion",
        consumable = true,
        onUseItem = function(self,champion)
            heal = 100
        end

I dont know about heal = 100

I havent played with items much, but could you use champion:modifyStat("health", 100)?

Edit: - changed self to champion

[SpacialKatana]

The hook says it needs 2 parameters, the item and the user so maybe I'll try :-

onUseItem = function(self,champion:modifyStat("health", 100))
end

Edit Hmm still no dice..editor didn't like that line lol

it says it gets 2 parameters - try

Code: Select all

onUseItem = function(self,champion)
  champion:modifyStat("health", 100)
end

also you need to add
return true

to the onUseItem or else it won't actually be consumed =)

so shroom's code modified:

Code: Select all

onUseItem = function(self,champion)
  champion:modifyStat("health", 100)
  playSound("consume_potion")
  return true  
end

(also added the playSound ^_^)
