add an entry in itemdesc.cfg called WalkOnScript for the item. The value of WalkOnScript should be the name of the script you want to fire when they walk on it.

If you look at the main itemdesc file in \pol\config and search for rexcob1 you'll find the following:

Code: Select all

// Resurrection-field cobblestones
Item 0xEE01
{
    Name                rescob1
    graphic             0x515
    WalkOnScript        resField
    Movable             0
}

Note the line: WalkOnScript resField

Now if you look in \pol\scripts\items you will find resField.src. I reproduce it below.

Code: Select all

use os;
use uo;

include "include/res";
include "include/resPenalty";
include ":poisonwatcher:poisons";

const EFFECT_SPARKLE := 0x373a;
const SOUND_EFFECT_RES := 0x215;

program resfield(mobile)
  set_critical(1);
  if(mobile.dead)
    start_script("itemRes", mobile);
    return;
  else
    SendSysMessage(mobile,"You are at peace...");
  endif
endprogram

You can use that as an example of what is needed to make a walokon script and tile.

Just an intrusion...

Where can i find a complete list of options that can be used in itemdesc.cfg?

In example, the "CanInsertScript" option is not on the head-comments in the pol\config\itemdes.cfg .

Is there a complete list somewhere?

[Bytehawk]

Go to this page and scroll down bit, until you reach "itemdesc.cfg"

[Damo307]

i have an little error with my "item.cfg" so can someone help me out with it please?



-------------------------------------
item 0x0ecq
{
Name ft
Desc Flame Tile
color 1176
Graphic 6173
WalkOnScript tile
Movable 0
}
-------------------------------------

0x0ecq it's not a valid Hex value :eek:

[Damo307]

oh okay, do you know one that will work ?

[Pierce]

Hex Values go from 0 to 9 and from a to f.
To find an unused value you have to look inside your objtypes.txt in your main pol directory.

[Marilla]

And be sure to use a value over 0x5000, but below 0xf000. It may work if you violate that rule, but you would be highly likely to have problems with collisions in the future with core/distro items, or new items you need to create later.
