Ive been on a few shards that once you equiped an item, it would send you a message on the screen like "The power of the dragon surges through you". It also showed the animation of a flamestrike spell on the person equipping WITHOUT hurting them and without the spell being cast. How can I do this? If somone could give me an example and where to get the Animation tags that would be cool. Thanks a lot!
I was on RunUO and they helped quite a bit...I just need to know this -
How do I script this? This is what I want ---

CODE
m.PlaySound( 0x202 ); m.FixedParticles( 0x376A, 1, 62, 9923, 3, 3, EffectLayer.Waist ); m.FixedParticles( 0x3779, 1, 46, 9502, 5, 3, EffectLayer.Waist );

Saying

CODE
m.SendMessage("The power of *** surges through you");

Can somone please give me an example to work off of? I know this has somethign to do with OnEquip, but I just dont know how to do this. Thanks for any help

that is the code, just add it to the OnEquip method of the item.
The 'm' variable is the mobile. Look at what the equivalent mobile variable is that is passed into the OnEquip method, and refer to that instead of 'm' when you add it.

CODE
public override bool OnEquip( Mobile from ) { // add your code return base.OnEquip( from ); }

Correct me if Im wrong. Heres what I got

CODE
public override bool OnEquip( Mobile from ) { OnEquip.PlaySound( 0x202 ); OnEquip.FixedParticles( 0x376A, 1, 62, 9923, 3, 3, EffectLayer.Waist ); OnEquip.FixedParticles( 0x3779, 1, 46, 9502, 5, 3, EffectLayer.Waist );
OnEquip.SendMessage("My Msg Here");
return base.OnEquip( from );
}

Sorry if I totally messed up. Im not that good at this. Thanks for the help
ArteGordon- 02-12-2006
you need to change references like
OnEquip.PlaySound( 0x202 );
to
from.PlaySound( 0x202 );
Those are methods that are defined in the Mobile class, which is why you refer to them like that.
Odee- 02-12-2006
Okay....here goes again. Sorry for stupidity, just trying to learn. I appreciate the help.

CODE
public override bool OnEquip( Mobile from ) { from.PlaySound( 0x202 ); from.FixedParticles( 0x376A, 1, 62, 9923, 3, 3, EffectLayer.Waist ); from.FixedParticles( 0x3779, 1, 46, 9502, 5, 3, EffectLayer.Waist );
from.SendMessage("My Msg Here");
return base.OnEquip( from );
}

Lets hope this time its right I appreciate the help

that looks pretty reasonable.

{
Weight = 10.0;
Name = "Alastars Breastplate of Justice";
}
public override bool OnEquip( Mobile from );
{
from.PlaySound( 0x202 );
from.FixedParticles( 0x376A, 1, 62, 9923, 3, 3, EffectLayer.Waist );
from.FixedParticles( 0x3779, 1, 46, 9502, 5, 3, EffectLayer.Waist );
from.SendMessage("The Virtue of Justice flows through your veins as you equip the Breastplate");
return base.OnEquip( from );
}
public AlastarsBreastplateofJustice( Serial serial ) : base( serial )
{
}
public override void Serialize( GenericWriter writer )
{
base.Serialize( writer );
writer.Write( (int) 0 );
}
public override void Deserialize(GenericReader reader)
{
base.Deserialize( reader );
int version = reader.ReadInt();
}
}
}

This is the part I just added in
public override bool OnEquip( Mobile from );
{
from.PlaySound( 0x202 );
from.FixedParticles( 0x376A, 1, 62, 9923, 3, 3, EffectLayer.Waist );
from.FixedParticles( 0x3779, 1, 46, 9502, 5, 3, EffectLayer.Waist );
from.SendMessage("The Virtue of Justice flows through your veins as you equip the Breastplate");
return base.OnEquip( from );
}
Any help would be awesome. Thanks

public override bool OnEquip( Mobile from );
no semicolon at the end of that
Odee- 02-12-2006
Okay. Fixed. Scripts will load.
Only problem is that when I try to add the item in-game, it will show this

CODE
Usage: AlastarsBreastplateofJustice

It will not add the item in-game either.
Heres what RunUO is reading

I dont know wtf this means. Please help. Thanks
ArteGordon- 02-12-2006
the base class for your armor is the PlateChest class.
public AlastarsBreastplateofJustice() : base( 0x1415 )
when you do this, you are calling the PlateChest class constructor with an argument.
There is no such valid constructor. You just end up calling the serial constructo when you do that, and that creates the error.
Your constructor should just look like
public AlastarsBreastplateofJustice()
Odee- 02-12-2006
Cool, your right. All is good now. Just have to add props to the item.
One more quick question = Can I put more than one animation onto it?
Thanks for all the help Arte. Ill make sure to make a Rar file and post it once I finished everything for the set. I also have to make the mobile(s) too.
ArteGordon- 02-12-2006
yes, it is possible to add more than one animation.
Odee- 02-12-2006
Okay thats a TON dude. I appreciate it a lot
