How do I make a healthpotion? (or any kind of potion)
I know how to make the model and how to use it as a item in the game, but that's as far as I can come.
I suspect that it has something to do with concumables, but the only health-related I have figured out is r_health_get and there doesn't seam to be a r_health_set.

You'd want to add a health related status group to the item, but with that said, consumables aren't implemented yet.
The easiest way to work around this is to rely on healing abilities...
There is slightly more difficult way...
You will need to define the health potion as a weapon with a target of T_SELF, a use cost of 1 and it must reference an ammotype.
The ammotype should contain one item entry, that of the health potion you're consuming.
That setup is more intended for throwing weapons (knives, bombs, rocks, etc) but it should suffice.

I have spent several hours trying to figure this out
But I still don't understand how it is possible to set the amount of health a potion gives?
I'm not a particular skilled programmer, but I'm an awesome "cut&paste"-er
Unfortunately there doesn't seam to be any PAS-projects (rpg) that use potions or healing?

I'm not so sure about this, I thought I saw something somewhere about potions having damage variables of "-1" to restore health. Would that work?

-2 is health, -1 is mana (correct me if I'm wrong).
I'm on it. I managed it already that it can heal you, now I just need to create the ammo.
EDIT: 'r_ammo_additem is a unknown command'
How is the correct command?

@hirato: Could you please give me the right command (read prev post)?

I'm happy to hear that I'm not the only one having problems with this

I managed to make a working healing spell
Code: Select all
// Healing spell
r_item_name "Healing spell"
r_item_icon "items/healing.png"
r_item_description "A simple healing spell"
r_item_mdl "sandie/scroll"
r_item_worth 25
r_item_weight 1
r_item_script 7
r_item_use_new_weapon // 0
r_item_use_name "Healing spell"
r_item_use_description "A simple healing spell"
r_item_use_new_status 1 $STATUS_HEALTH -0.2 1
r_item_use_cooldown 400
r_item_use_chargeflags (| $CHARGE_RADIUS $CHARGE_MAG)
r_item_use_slots $SLOT_RHAND
r_item_use_skill $SKILL_MAGIC
r_item_use_cost 10
r_item_use_pflags (| $P_VOLATILE $P_TIME)
r_item_use_target $T_SELF
r_item_use_charge 200
r_item_use_basecharge .5
r_item_use_mincharge .5
r_item_use_maxcharge 1.5
r_item_use_elasticity 0
r_item_use_speed 2
Not sure about what all the stuff does yet, and it is very likely that it's not the right way of doing it, But it works
I know it's not a healthpotion yet, but it is progress and I can use it as a temporary replacement for potions.

This is really good coding. I might have to use this

Thanks
Now I just have to figure out WHY it works
