Generally speaking, the way you've set up equipment is a very poor one. It's common, but that kind of code has been seen far too much around these forums and it's time to put a stop to it.
The problem: The player has no convenient way of telling what they have equipped. The items themselves, in your version, have the equipped var, and that's a lot less useful than setting up your vars like this: mob Lummox JR | |
Thanks for the tip. In my defense however, in my game, I was using overlays so that you could see the equipped gear on the character. However, there is a flaw in my code that I know about, and that is, if you have 2 armors, you can equip them both because the second armor still has equipped = 0.
Anyway, that was code from my test platform, in which I only test snippets to see if they work. In my final project I have things a bit more organized, and will probably use your suggestion. | |
icon = 'armor.dmi'
var/equipped = 0
verb
get()
set src in oview(1)
usr << "You pickup the armor"
/*this is where you'd display it in the stat panel, but since I don't have the code readily accessible to copy and paste, someone else can explain that*/
drop()
if (src.equipped == 0)
src.loc = usr.loc
usr << "You drop the [src]"
else
usr <<"You must unequip this item."
equip(mob/player/M)
if (src.equipped == 1)
usr<< "You are already wearing armor."
else
src.equipped = 1
M.endurance += 5
unequip(mob/player/M)
if (src.equipped == 0)
usr<< "You are not wearing any armor."
else
src.equipped = 0
M.endurance -= 5
This is assuming you've declared variable for your mob/player, such as endurance. Also, I have to mention, don't write this for every item the players can get. Do it more like this:
obj
items
//get and drop verbs
equipment
//equip and unequip verbs here
armor
sword
etc.
