13
14The term 'archetype' stands for a collection of fields.
15The term 'object' stands for an archetype instance.
16The term 'field' is used for an object fields and archetype fields.

12=head2 About archetypes and objects 24=head2 About archetypes and objects
13 25
14Field denotes an attribute of an archetype. 26Archetypes are 'templates' of objects. If an object is derived
27from an archetype the object fields will be set to the corresponding
28fields in the archetype.
29
30When a map is instanciated (loaded), the 'object' description on the
31map are considered patches of the archetype.
32
33This document does explain the behaviour of the objects and the meaning of
34their fields in the server engine, which are derived from archetypes.
35
15This is an example of an archetype: 36This is an example of an archetype:

35This archetype has the name 'button_trigger' and the objects that 56The first B<field> is I<name>: 'button_trigger', which basically means that
36inherit from this archetype have the name 'button'. 57instances (objects) that are created/derived from this archetype have the
58name 'button' (which means that the field I<name> of the object will be set
59to the same value as the archetypes field I<name>).
37 60
38The next field 'type' decides the main behaviour of this archetype. 61The next field I<type> decides the behaviour of objects derived from this archetype.

78 112
79=item speed <number> 113=item I<glow_radius> <number>
114
115This field indicates how far an object glows. Default is a radius of 0 (no
116glowing at all). Negative glow radii darken areas - currently, negative
117glow radii are stronger than positive ones.

81If this field is greater than MIN_ACTIVE_SPEED (~0.0001) the object is placed 121If this field is greater than MIN_ACTIVE_SPEED (~0.0001) the object is placed

87=item speed_left <number> 127Negative speed settings in archetypes and files cause a speed_left
128randomisation on load or instantiatian, but for calculations, the absolute
129value is used always.

143This means: the lower I<speed> is (but still above MIN_ACTIVE_SPEED)
144the more seldom the object is processed. And the higher I<speed> is
145the more often the object is processed.

149When this field is set the object will be linked to a connection with the

266This flag indicates that the object is changing into a different object.

536The main difference between B<FOOD>, B<FLESH> and B<DRINK> is that they
537give different messages.
538
539The specialty of B<FLESH> is that it inherits the resistancies of the
540monsters it was generated in and will let dragons raise their resistancies
541with that. If the monster has the B<POISON> attacktype the B<FLESH>
542will change into B<POISON>.

709
710This is the type for objects that represent projectiles like arrows.
711The movement of B<THROWN_OBJ>s behave similar to this type.
712
713Flying arrows are stopped either when they hit something blocking
714(I<move_block>) or something which is alive.
715If it hits something that is alive, which doesn't have FLAG_REFL_MISSILE
716set, it will inflict damage. If FLAG_REFL_MISSILE is set it will inflict
717damage with a small chance which is affected by the I<level> field of the arrow.
718
719If FLAG_REFLECTING is set on the arrow it will bounce off everything
720that is not alive and blocks it's movement.
721
722When an arrow is being shot it's I<dam>, I<wc>, I<attacktype>, I<slaying>
723fields will be saved in the I<sp>, I<hp>, I<grace> and I<spellarg> fields of
724the object, to restore them once the arrow has been stopped.

727
728=item I<dam> <number>
729
730The amount of damage that is being done to the victim that gets hit.
731This field is recomputed when the arrow is fired and will consist
732of the sum of a damage bonus (see description of the B<BOW> type),
733the arrows I<dam> field, the bows I<dam> field, the bows I<magic> field
734and the arrows I<magic> field.
735
736=item I<wc> <number>
737
738The weapon class of the arrow, which has effect on the probability of hitting.
739
740It is recomputed when the arrow is being fired by this formula:
741
742 wc = 20 - bow->magic - arrow->magic - (skill->level or shooter->level)
743 - dex_bonus - thaco_bonus - arrow->stats.wc - bow->stats.wc + wc_mod
744
745When the arrow is not being shot by an player dex_bonus and thaco_bonus and the
746level is not added.
747
748wc_mod is dependend on the fire mode of the bow. For a more detailed
749explanation of dex_bonus, thaco_bonus and wc_mod please consult the code.
750
751=item I<magic> <number>
752
753This field is added to the damage of the arrow when it is shot and
754will also improve it's I<speed> by 1/5 of it's value.

760
761=item I<level> <number> (interally used)
762
763The level of the arrow, this affects the probability of piercing FLAG_REFL_MISSILE,
764see above in the B<ARROW> description.

766The I<level> is set when the arrow is fired to either the skill level or the
767shooters level.
768
769=item I<speed> <number> (internal)
770
771This field shouldn't be set directly in the archetype, the arrow will get it's
772I<speed> from the bow. This fields value has to be at least 0.5 or otherwise the
773arrow will be stopped immediatly.
774
775On fireing the I<speed> of the arrow is computed of 1/5 of the
776sum of the damage bonus (see BOW), bow I<magic> and arrow I<magic>. After that 1/7
777of the bows I<dam> field is added to the I<speed> of the arrow.
778
779The minimum I<speed> of an arrow is 1.0.
780
781While flying the arrows I<speed> is decreased by 0.05 each time it's moved.
782
783If the I<speed> is above 10.0 it goes straight through the creature it hits and
784its I<speed> is reduced by 1. If the I<speed> is lower or equal 10.0 the arrow is
785stopped and either stuck into the victim (see I<weight> field description) or
786put on its map square (if it didn't break, see description of the I<food> field).
787
788=item I<weight> <number>
789
790This field is the weight of the arrow, if I<weight> is below or equal 5000 (5 kg)
791the arrow will stick in the victim it hits. Otherwise it will fall to the ground.

799If the flying/moving object has something in it's inventory and it stops, it
800will be replaced with it's inventory. Otherwise it will be handled as usual,
801which means: it will be calculated whether the arrow breaks and it will be
802reset for reuse.
803
804=item I<slaying> <string>
805
806When the bow that fires this arrow has it's I<slaying> field set it is copied

818
819The I<race> field is a unique key that assigns arrows, bows and quivers. When
820shooting an arrow the bows I<race> is used to search for arrows (which have the
821same I<race> as the bow) in the players inventory and will recursively search in
822the containers (which are applied and have the same I<race> as the bow and the arrow).
