=head1 CROSSFIRE+ OBJECT AND INTERNALS DOCUMENTATION |
2 |
|
3 |
Here is all information about the object types Crossfire+ |
4 |
supports at the moment. This is not a complete documentation (yet) |
5 |
and browsing the source is still recommended to learn about |
6 |
the objects that aren't documented here. |
7 |
|
8 |
This documentation is in a sketchy state. It's mostly |
9 |
used to collect notes about the internal behaviour of the |
10 |
objects. |
11 |
|
12 |
=head2 About archetypes and objects |
13 |
|
14 |
Field denotes an attribute of an archetype. |
15 |
This is an example of an archetype: |
16 |
|
17 |
Object button_trigger |
18 |
name button |
19 |
type 30 |
20 |
face button_sma.111 |
21 |
anim |
22 |
button_sma.111 |
23 |
button_sma.112 |
24 |
mina |
25 |
is_animated 0 |
26 |
exp 30 |
27 |
no_pick 1 |
28 |
walk_on 1 |
29 |
walk_off 1 |
30 |
editable 48 |
31 |
visibility 50 |
32 |
weight 1 |
33 |
end |
34 |
|
35 |
This archetype has the name 'button_trigger' and the objects that |
36 |
inherit from this archetype have the name 'button'. |
37 |
|
38 |
The next field 'type' decides the main behaviour of this archetype. |
39 |
For a comprehensive list of types see include/define.h. For this case |
40 |
you might find a line like: |
41 |
|
42 |
#define TRIGGER_BUTTON 30 |
43 |
|
44 |
The server internally works with objects that 'inherit' attributes from |
45 |
an archetype. They have a similar set of attributes. |
46 |
|
47 |
The following documentation will also document the meaning of code internal |
48 |
attributes of objects. These attributes are marked as '(internal)' and can't |
49 |
or shouldn't be set by an archetype. If the internal names differs the |
50 |
external name (for the archetypes) for the attribute is written behind it. |
51 |
|
52 |
=head2 Description of generic archetype and object attributes |
53 |
|
54 |
These are the fields that most of the objects have and/or their |
55 |
default behaviour. |
56 |
|
57 |
=over 4 |
58 |
|
59 |
=item name <string> |
60 |
|
61 |
The name of the object. |
62 |
|
63 |
=item name_pl <string> |
64 |
|
65 |
The name of a collection of these objects (the plural of the name). |
66 |
|
67 |
=item face <facename> |
68 |
|
69 |
The graphical appearance of this object. |
70 |
|
71 |
=item x <number> |
72 |
|
73 |
The x position of the object when it is on a map. |
74 |
|
75 |
=item y <number> |
76 |
|
77 |
The y position of the object when it is on a map. |
78 |
|
79 |
=item map (internal) |
80 |
|
81 |
The map the object is on. |
82 |
|
83 |
=item invisible <number> |
84 |
|
85 |
If the <number> is greater than 0 the object is invisible. |
86 |
For players this field reflects the duration of the invisibility |
87 |
and is decreased every tick by 1. |
88 |
|
89 |
For non-player objects this field is not changed by server ticks. |
90 |
|
91 |
=item speed <number> |
92 |
|
93 |
If this field is greater than MIN_ACTIVE_SPEED (~0.0001) the object is placed |
94 |
on the active object list and will be processed each tick (see also speed_left!). |
95 |
|
96 |
If the speed field drops below the MIN_ACTIVE_SPEED the object is removed |
97 |
from the active object list and it won't experience any processing per tick. |
98 |
|
99 |
=item speed_left <number> |
100 |
|
101 |
If this field is greater than 0 and the object is on the |
102 |
active list (mostly means it's speed is also greater than 0): |
103 |
|
104 |
- speed_left is decreased by 1 |
105 |
- and this object is processed and experiences a server tick. |
106 |
|
107 |
If the object is on the active list and speed_left is lower or |
108 |
equal to 0 the absolute value of the speed field is added to speed_left |
109 |
on the end of the tick. |
110 |
|
111 |
This means: the lower the speed field is (but still above MIN_ACTIVE_SPEED) |
112 |
the more seldom the object is processed. And the higher the speed field is |
113 |
the more often the object is processed. |
114 |
|
115 |
=item connected <number> |
116 |
|
117 |
When this field is set the object will be linked to a connection with the |
118 |
id <number>. What happens when the connection is 'activated' depends on the |
119 |
type of the object. |
120 |
|
121 |
When FLAG_ACTIVATE_ON_PUSH and FLAG_ACTIVATE_ON_RELEASE they will control |
122 |
when to activate the object, see description of these below for further details. |
123 |
|
124 |

170 |
|
171 |
Sets the flag FLAG_ACTIVATE_ON_RELEASE. |
172 |
See Flags section below. |
173 |
|
174 |
=item editable (more than deprecated) |
175 |
|
176 |
This field had a special meaning for crossedit, which used parts |
177 |
of the server code for editing. Wherever you see this attribute being |
178 |
set in an archetype ignore it and/or remove it. No code interprets this |
179 |
field anymore. |

Here are the effects of the flags described. |
186 |
|
187 |
=over 4 |
188 |
|
189 |
=item FLAG_NO_DROP |
190 |
|
191 |
An object can't be picked up and dropped. |
192 |
|
193 |
=item FLAG_APPLIED |
194 |
|
195 |
This flag mostly states whether this object has been 'applied' by the player. |
196 |
For objects that are applied by the code or have this flag set in the archetype |
197 |
it mostly means 'this object is active'. |
198 |
|
199 |
For example the player adjustments of the hp/sp/grace fields and inheritance |
200 |
of flags from objects in his inventory is toggled by this flag. |
201 |
|
202 |
=item FLAG_IS_USED_UP |
203 |
|
204 |
This flag controls whether an object is 'used up'. If it is set the 'food' field |
205 |
of the object is decreased by 1 each tick, and if it is lower or equal 0 after tha |
206 |
it is removed. |
207 |
|
208 |
If also the flag FLAG_APPLIED is set, the 'duration' field controls whether |
209 |
this object is removed or not, see the Force type below for the meaning |
210 |
of the duration field in this context. |
211 |
|
212 |
If FLAG_APPLIED is not set the object is destroyed. |
213 |
|
214 |
=item FLAG_IS_A_TEMPLATE (internal use) |
215 |
|
216 |
This flag is set on the inventory of generators like CREATORs and CONVERTERs, |
217 |
or other objects that have the flags FLAG_GENERATOR and FLAG_CONTENT_ON_GEN set. |
218 |
|
219 |
=item FLAG_AUTO_APPLY |
220 |
|
221 |
This flag has currently only meaning for the TREASURE type, see below. |
222 |
|
223 |
=item FLAG_ACTIVATE_ON_PUSH |
224 |
|
225 |
This flag has only meaning for objects that can be linked together |
226 |
with the 'connected' field and controls wether the object should |
227 |
be activated when the connection is 'pushed' or it is 'released'. |
228 |
|
229 |
What 'pushed' and 'released' means depends on the object that |
230 |
activates the connection. |
231 |
|
232 |
This flag is by default on. |
233 |
|
234 |
=item FLAG_ACTIVATE_ON_RELEASE |
235 |
|
236 |
This flag has only meaning for objects that can be linked together |
237 |
with the 'connected' field and controls wether the object should |
238 |
be activated when the connection is 'pushed' or it is 'released'. |
239 |
|
240 |
What 'pushed' and 'released' means depends on the object that |
241 |
activates the connection. |
242 |
|
243 |
This flag is by default on. |
244 |
|
245 |
=item FLAG_NO_STEAL |
246 |
|
247 |
When this flag is set this object can't be stolen. The flag will be |
248 |
resetted once the object is placed on a map. |
249 |
|
250 |
When this flag is set on a monster it can defent attempts of stealing |
251 |
(but in this context the flag is only used internally). |
252 |
|
253 |
=item FLAG_NO_SKILL_IDENT |
254 |
|
255 |
This flag is mostly used internal and prevents unidentified objects |
256 |
(objects which don't have FLAG_IDENTIFIED set) being identified by |
257 |
skills. |
258 |
|
259 |
This flag is used to mark objects to never being identified by a skill |
260 |
once a player failed to identify an object. So that multiple tries |
261 |
of identifying aren't more effective than one. |
262 |
|
263 |
=item FLAG_REFLECTING |
264 |
|
265 |
This flag is used by spell effects (eg. SP_BOLT), THROWN_OBJ and ARROW |
266 |
to indicate whether this object reflects off walls. |
267 |
|
268 |
=item FLAG_REFL_SPELL |
269 |
|
270 |
This flag indicates whether something reflects spells, like spell reflecting |
271 |
amuletts. |

=head2 Description of type specific attributes |
276 |
|
277 |
The beginning of the headers of the following subsection |
278 |
are the server internal names for the objects types, see include/define.h. |
279 |
|
280 |
=head3 TRANSPORT - type 2 - Player transports |
281 |
|
282 |
This type is implemented by the transport extension and has currently no special |
283 |
attributes that affect it. |
284 |
|
285 |
=head3 ROD - type 3 - Rods that fire spells |
286 |
|
287 |
Rods contain spells and can be fired by a player. |
288 |
|
289 |
=over 4 |
290 |
|
291 |
=item level <number> |
292 |
|
293 |
This attribute is used for calculating the spell level that can be fired |
294 |
with this rod, it's also the maximum level of the spell that can be fired. |
295 |
The level of the spell that is being fired depends mostly on |
296 |
the 'use magic item' skill level of the player and 1/10 of the level of the |
297 |
rod is added as bonus. |
298 |
|
299 |
=item hp <number> |
300 |
|
301 |
The amount of spellpoints this rod has left. |
302 |
|
303 |
=item maxhp <number> |
304 |
|
305 |
The maximum amount of spellpoints this rod has. |
306 |
|
307 |
=item skill <skill name> |
308 |
|
309 |
This field determines which skill you need to apply this object. |

|
311 |
=back |
312 |
|
313 |
=head3 TREASURE - type 4 - Treasures |
314 |
|
315 |
This type of objects are for random treasure generation in maps. |
316 |
If this object is applied by a player it will replace itself with it's |
317 |
inventory. If it is automatically applied |
318 |
generate a treasure and replace itself with the generated treasure. |
319 |
|
320 |
Chests are also of this type, their treasures are generated by |
321 |
the auto apply code on map instantiation. |
322 |
|
323 |
=over 4 |
324 |
|
325 |
=item hp <number> |
326 |
|
327 |
The number of treasures to generate. |
328 |
|
329 |
=item exp <level> |
330 |
|
331 |
If FLAG_AUTO_APPLY is not set the exp field has no further meaning |
332 |
and the difficulty for the treasurecode only depends on the maps difficulty, |
333 |
otherwise the exp field has the following meaning: |
334 |
|
335 |
If this field is not 0 it is passed as the difficulty |
336 |
to the treasure generation code to determine how good, how much |
337 |
worth a treasure is or what bonuses it is given by the treasure code. |
338 |
|
339 |
If this field is not set or 0 the difficulty of the map is passed to the treasure |
340 |
generation code. |
341 |
|
342 |
=item randomitems <treasurelist> |
343 |
|
344 |
The treasurelist to use to generate the treasure which is put in the |
345 |
treasure objects inventory. |
346 |
|
347 |
=back |
348 |
|
349 |
=head3 POTION - type 5 - Potions for drinking and other nastynesses |
350 |
|
351 |
These objects contain a spell and will emit it on apply, which most |
352 |
of the time has the meaning of 'drinking'. |
353 |
|
354 |
If no resistancy field, stat field or attacktype is set and no spell |
355 |
is put in the potion by the sp field or the randomitems the |
356 |
potion will become an artifact and the artifact code decides which kind |
357 |
of potion will be generated. |
358 |
|
359 |
If the potion has FLAG_CURSED or FLAG_DAMNED set the usage of this potion |
360 |
will yield an explosion and hurt the player. |
361 |
|
362 |
=over 4 |
363 |
|
364 |
=item Str, Dex, Con, Int, Wis, Cha, Pow <number> |
365 |
|
366 |
These stat fields determine how many stat points the player gets |
367 |
when he applies this potion. |
368 |
|
369 |
If FLAG_CURSED or FLAG_DAMNED is set the player will loose that many stat points. |
370 |
|
371 |
=item sp <number> |
372 |
|
373 |
If this field is set and the randomitems field is not set |
374 |
the field is interpreted as spell number, please look the right |
375 |
number up in common/loader.C. |
376 |
|
377 |
If this field is set the randomitems field will be unset by the |
378 |
map loading code. |
379 |
|
380 |
=item attacktype <attacktype> |
381 |
|
382 |
This field has some special meaning in potions, currently the |
383 |
bits for AT_DEPLETE and AT_GODPOWER control whethere this is a |
384 |
restoration potion or improvement potion. |
385 |
See include/attackinc.h for the bits of these types. |
386 |
|
387 |
If AT_DEPLETE is set the player will be restored and the ARCH_DEPLETION |
388 |
will be removed from him. If the potion has FLAG_CURSED or FLAG_DAMNED |
389 |
set the player will be drained a random stat by inserting an ARCH_DEPLETION |
390 |
into him. |
391 |
|
392 |
If AT_GODPOWER is enabled the player will gain +1 maxvalue in his hp, sp or grace stat. |
393 |
When the potion has FLAG_CURSED or FLAG_DAMNED set he will loose one in one of these stats. |
394 |
|
395 |
=item resist_<resistancy> <number> |
396 |
|
397 |
If this stat is set and no spell is in the potion the potion |
398 |
will create a force that give the player this specific resistancy. |
399 |
The forces type will be changed to POTION_EFFECT (see POTION_EFFECT type below) |
400 |
and the potion will last 10 times longer than the default force archetype |
401 |
FORCE_NAME (at the moment of this writing spell/force.arc). |
402 |
|
403 |
=item randomitems <treasurelist> |
404 |
|
405 |
The inventory/spell of the potion will be created by calling the treasure code |
406 |
with the treasurelist specified here. (I guess it's highly undefined what |
407 |
happens if there is not a spell in the potions inventory). |
408 |
|
409 |
=item on_use_yield <archetype> |
410 |
|
411 |
When this object is applied an instance of <archetype> will be created. |
412 |
|
413 |
=item subtypes <potion subtype> |
414 |
|
415 |
see include/spells.h for possible potion subtypes, there are currently 4: |

|
423 |
=item POT_DUST |
424 |
|
425 |
This potion can be thrown to cast the spell that it has in it's inventory, |
426 |
the behaviour is not defined if there is not a spell in the inventory and the |
427 |
server will log an error. |
428 |

=head3 FOOD - type 6 - Eatable stuff |
442 |
|
443 |
This is for objects that are representing general eatables like |
444 |
beef or bread. |
445 |
|
446 |
The main difference between FOOD, FLESH and DRINK is that they |
447 |
give different messages. |
448 |
|
449 |
The specialty of FLESH is that it inherits the resistancies of the |
450 |
monsters it was generated in and will let dragons raise their resistancies |
451 |
with that. If the monster has the POISON attacktype the FLESH |
452 |
will change into POISON. |
453 |
|
454 |
If a player runs low on food he will grab for FOOD, DRINK and POISON |
455 |
and if he doesn't find any of that he will start eating FLESH. |
456 |
|
457 |
=over 4 |
458 |
|
459 |
=item title <string> |
460 |
|
461 |
If the food has a title or is cursed it is considered 'special', which means that the |
462 |
fields Str, Dex, Con, Int, Wis, Pow, resist_<resistancy>, hp and sp |
463 |
are interpreted and have further effects on the player. |
464 |
|
465 |
The higher the food field is the longer the improvement of the player lasts |
466 |
(except for hp and sp). |
467 |
|
468 |
=item food <number> |
469 |
|
470 |
This is the amount of food points the player gets when he eats this. |
471 |
|
472 |
=item on_use_yield <archetype> |
473 |
|
474 |
When this object is applied an instance of <archetype> will be created. |

478 |
=head3 POISON - type 7 - Poisonous stuff |
479 |
|
480 |
This type is for objects that can poison the player when drinking. |
481 |
When applied it will hit the attacked with AT_POISON and will create |
482 |
a POISONING object in the one who was hit. |
483 |
|
484 |
=over 4 |
485 |
|
486 |
=item level <number> |
487 |
|
488 |
This field affects the propability of poisoning. The higher the level difference |
489 |
between the one who is hit and the poision the mose propable it is the attacked |
490 |
one will be poisoned. |
491 |
|
492 |
=item slaying <race> |
493 |
|
494 |
On poison this field has the usual meaning of 'slaying', when the |
495 |
ones race matches the slaying field the damage done by the poison |
496 |
is multiplied by 3. |
497 |

599 |
|
600 |
Flying arrows are stopped either when they hit something blocking |
601 |
(move_block) or something which is alive. |
602 |
If it hits something that is alive, which doesn't have FLAG_REFL_MISSILE |
603 |
set, it will inflict damage. If FLAG_REFL_MISSILE is set it will inflict |
604 |
damage with a small chance which is affected by the 'level' field of the arrow. |

616 |
|
617 |
The amount of damage that is being done to the victim that gets hit. |
618 |
This field is recomputed when the arrow is fired and will consist |
619 |
of the sum of a damage bonus (see description of the BOW type), |
620 |
the arrows 'dam' field, the bows 'dam' field, the bows 'magic' field |
621 |
and the arrows magic field. |
622 |
|
623 |
=item wc <number> |
624 |
|
625 |
The weaponclass of the arrow, which has effect on the propability of hitting. |
626 |
|
627 |
It is recomputed when the arrow is being fired by this formula: |
628 |
|
629 |
wc = 20 - bow->magic - arrow->magic - (skill->level or shooter->level) |
630 |
- dex_bonus - thaco_bonus - arrow->stats.wc - bow->stats.wc + wc_mod |
631 |
|
632 |
When the arrow is not being shot by an player dex_bonus and thaco_bonus and the |
633 |
level is not added. |
634 |
|
635 |
The wc_mod is dependend on the fire mode of the bow. For a more detailed |
636 |
explanation of dex_bonus, thaco_bonus and wc_mod please consult the code. |
637 |
|
638 |
=item magic <number> |

647 |
|
648 |
=item level <number> (interally used) |
649 |
|
650 |
The level of the arrow, this affects the propability of piercing FLAG_REFL_MISSILE, |
651 |
see above in the ARROW description. |
652 |

653 |
The level is set when the arrow is fired to either the skill level or the |
654 |
shooters level. |
655 |
|
656 |
=item speed <number> (internal) |
657 |
|
658 |
This field shouldn't be set directly in the archetype, the arrow will get it's |
659 |
speed from the bow. This fields value has to be atleast 0.5 or otherwise the |
660 |
arrow will be stopped immediatly. |
661 |
|
662 |
On fireing the speed of the arrow is computed of 1/5 of the |
663 |
sum of the damage bonus (see BOW), bow magic and arrow magic. After that 1/7 |
664 |
of the bows 'dam' field is added to the speed of the arrow. |
665 |
|
666 |
The minimum speed of an arrow is 1.0. |
667 |
|
668 |
While flying the arrows speed is decreased by 0.05 each time it's moved. |
669 |
|
670 |
If the speed is above 10.0 it goes straight through the creature it hits and |
671 |
it's speed is reduced by 1. If the speed is lower or equal 10.0 the arrow is |
672 |
stopped and either sticked into the victim (see weight field description) or |
673 |
put on it's map square (if it didn't break, see description of the food field). |
674 |
|
675 |
=item weight <number> |
676 |
|
677 |
This field is the weight of the arrow, if the weight is below or equal 5000 (5 kg) |
678 |
the arrow will stick in the victim it hits. Otherwise it will fall to the ground. |
679 |
|

=item inventory (internal) |
685 |
|
686 |
If the flying/moving object has something in it's inventory and it stops, it |
687 |
will be replaced with it's inventory. Otherwise it will be handled as usual, |
688 |
which means: it will be calculated whether the arrow breaks and it will be |
689 |
reset for reuse. |
690 |
|
691 |
=item slaying <string> |
692 |
|
693 |

=item race <string> |
705 |
|
706 |
The race field is a unique key that assigns arrows, bows and quivers. When |
707 |
shooting an arrow the bows race is used to search for arrows (which have the |
708 |
same race as the bow) in the players inventory and will recursively search in |
709 |
the containers (which are applied and have the same race as the bow and the arrow). |

780 |
gen_sp_armour seems to be a factor with which gen_sp in do_some_living() |
781 |
is multiplied: gen_sp *= 10/<number> |
782 |
meaning: values > 10 of gen_sp_armour limits the amout of regenerated |
783 |

=head3 MISC_OBJECT - type 79 - Misc. objects |
981 |
|
982 |
A type for any object that has no special behaviour. |

|
984 |
=head3 DUPLICATOR - type 83 - Duplicators or: Multiplicators |
985 |
|
986 |
This type of objects multiplies objects that are above it when it is activated. |
987 |
You can even multiply by 0, which will destroy the object. |

=head3 HOLE - type 94 - Holes |
1006 |
|
1007 |
Holes are holes in the ground where objects can fall through. When the hole |
1008 |
opens and/or is completly open all objects above it fall through (more |
1009 |
precisely: if their head is above the hole). |
1010 |
|
1011 |
When the HOLE is activated it's speed is set to 0.5. |
1012 |
|
1013 |
Trapdoors can only transfer the one who falls through to other coordinates |
1014 |
on the B<same> map. |

=item maxsp (0|1) |
1019 |
|
1020 |
This field negates the state of the connection: When maxsp is 1 the pit will |
1021 |
open/close when the connection is deactivated. Otherwise it will open/close |
1022 |
when the connection is activated. This field only has effect when the |
1023 |
connection is triggered. So if you put a closed hole on a map, and the |
1024 |
connection is deactivated, and maxsp is 1 the hole will remain closed until the |
1025 |
connection was triggered once. |
1026 |
|
1027 |
=item connected <connection id> |
1028 |
|
1029 |
This is the connection id, which lets the hole opening or closing when |
1030 |
activated. The flags FLAG_ACTIVATE_ON_PUSH and FLAG_ACTIVATE_ON_RELEASE control |
1031 |
at which connection state the object is activated. |
1032 |
|
1033 |
For example: if FLAG_ACTIVATE_ON_RELEASE is set to 0 the hole won't react when |
1034 |
the connection is released. |
1035 |
|
1036 |
=item wc <number> (internal) |
1037 |
|
1038 |
This is an internal flag. If it is greater than 0 it means that the hole is not |
1039 |
yet fully open. More preciesly: this field is the animation-step and if it is |
1040 |
set to the 'closed' step of the animation the hole is closed and if it is on |
1041 |
the 'open' animation step (wc = 0), the hole is open. |
1042 |
|
1043 |
=item sp <number> |
1044 |
|
1045 |
The destination y coordinates on the same map. |
1046 |
|
1047 |
=item hp <number> |
1048 |
|
1049 |
The destination x coordinates on the same map. |

=head3 POISONING - type 105 - The poisoning of players and monsters |
1054 |
|
1055 |
This type is doing the actual damage to the ones who were attacked |
1056 |
via AT_POISON (or drank POISON). |
1057 |
|
1058 |
The duration is handled via the FLAG_IS_USED_UP mechanism (please look |
1059 |
there for details). |
1060 |
|
1061 |
=over 4 |
1062 |
|
1063 |
=item dam <number> |
1064 |
|
1065 |
Each time the poisoning is processed (which is determined by the speed and speed_left |
1066 |
fields, see the general object attributes above) it hits the player with |
1067 |
<number> damage and the AT_INTERNAL attacktype (means: it will simply |
1068 |
hit the player with no strings attached). |
1069 |
|
1070 |
=item food <number> |
1071 |
|
1072 |
Just a note: The posion is removed when food == 1 and not when |
1073 |
the whole duration is up, because the POISONING code has to remove |
1074 |
the poison-effects from the player before the FLAG_IS_USED_UP mechanism |
1075 |
deletes the POISONING object. |

=head3 FORCE - type 114 - Forces |
1080 |
|
1081 |
Forces are a very 'thin' type. They don't have much behaviour other than |
1082 |
disappearing after a time and/or affecting the player if they are in his |
1083 |
inventory. |
1084 |
|
1085 |
Forces only take effect on the player if they have set FLAG_APPLIED. |
1086 |
|
1087 |
Whether the duration field is processed or not a tick is controlled via the |
1088 |
speed and speed_left field. Look above at the generic description of these |
1089 |
fields. |
1090 |
|
1091 |
NOTE: Setting FLAG_IS_USED_UP on an force will also consider the 'food' field |
1092 |
like stated above in the FLAG_IS_USED_UP description. BUT: If the food field reaches |
1093 |
0 before duration and FLAG_APPLIED is set, the force will last for 'duration'. |
1094 |
If the FLAG_APPLIED is not set the force is removed when food reaches 0. |
1095 |
Generally this means: FLAG_IS_USED_UP doesn't have good semantics on forces. |
1096 |
|

=item duration |
1100 |
|
1101 |
While this field is greater than 0 the force/object is not destroyed. It is |
1102 |
decreased each tick by 1. |
1103 |
|
1104 |
If it reaches 0 the force/object is destroyed. |
1105 |
|
1106 |
This field can have this meaning for B<any> object if that object has |
1107 |
FLAG_IS_USED_UP and FLAG_APPLIED set. See the description of FLAG_IS_USED_UP |
1108 |
what happens then. |

=head3 POTION_EFFECT - type 115 - Potion effects (resistancies) |
1113 |
|
1114 |
This object is generated by the POTION code when the potion is a resistance |
1115 |
giving potion. It has mainly the same behaviour as a FORCE. |
1116 |
|
1117 |
The specialty of the potion effect is that the resistancy it gives is absolute, |
1118 |
so if you drin a resistancy potion of fire+60 you will get 60% resistancy to |
1119 |
fire. |
1120 |
|
1121 |
Multiple potion effects only give you the maximum of their resistancy. |
