Looting?

[Kiji8989]

If I wanted t oloot a dead body, would I use the generic chest script or something else?

You could do it with the enemy AI script. When the enemy dies it would go to a state where it checks if the player is near enough and then give the player some stuff, in other words modify the player's attributes. Something like this:

Code: Select all

loot[ ()
{
self.ThinkTime = 0.1;

if(FastDistance("Player",200))  // if the player is less than 200 texels away
{
ModifyAttribute("gold",10,"Player");  // give the player 10 gold
HighLevel("Remove");
}
} ]

Remove[ ()
{
FadeOut(1,0);
Remove(true);
} ]

And in case you don't know scripting yet, the earlier you start the better. Scripting lets you do some really wild stuff.
