First, the type of script you will want in the itemdesc file for your tile is a a walk-on script. Info on walkon scripts can be found in the \docs directory. Look at the file named scripttypes.html.
Second, you will want the tile to create the flame strike effect when the player walks on it. I will post a simple script that should do the trick.
simple walkon flame strike effect script:
Code:
use uo;
use os;
program fseffect(who, what)
PlayObjectCenteredEffect(who, 0x3709, 0x0a, 0x1e );
PlaySoundEffect(who,0xf8);
endprogram
You can add any other effect inside the [i]program[/] declaration.
Save it as fseffect.src or whatever name you like but if you change the name you need to make sure the walkon script entry in the itemdesc file matches the script name. Now compile it.
I'll tell you a secret to scripting, if you want a script that does something, look for scripts that do similar things and see how they do it. You can find walkon scripts in the Distro and the flame strike or flame ploom effect and sound effect are in the old GM textcommand .e
Now you'll need to create an entry in your itemdesc.cfg file for the tile. It will look something like this:
Code:
Item 0xNNNN{
Name fstile
Graphic 0xGGGG
Facing 2
WalkOnScript fseffect
SaveOnExit 1
movable 1
}
You need to look at objtypes.txt in the root POL directory to find an unused objtype number and then change 0xNNNN to the number. Next decide on a graphic for your tile and change 0xGGGG to the graphic number you have chosen. Add the entry to the itemdesc.cfg file you want it in and make sure the script is in the same package as that itemdesc file and I think you will have what you want.
