Making Items Static

[Zaksmeer]

Ok, as I am laying down stuff in my world, I can make it non-movable, but when I lay the cursor over it, it lights up as yellow, as if I can move it. How can I, when I put something, such as a wall, as a static item?

BTW--using 099.

If you set it to not be movable and it highlights as movable, then your character probably has the 'moveany' privilege enabled.


If you want to write the item to the client static files (taking it out of POL's items.txt) you will have a couple options

1. If its a live shard, you need to make a custom property on the items to write and extract those items out of the items.txt
2. If its a shard specifically for building you can use the items.txt

Either way make sure to not write interactive items like doors, levers, containers, etc.

There are a few utilities out there. I think even fiddler can directly import the items.txt

Did have moveany set, changed that. But still does it which means that at a later time, when I get my world set the way I want, I will need to static all items to the files.

I correct myself, if I make anything now they are fine.

How would I add color to a script?
I modified a conceal script and i would like to add color to it, how would I word it.

I looked in the Recalac's Guide, but either I didn't find it or I skipped over it because i didn't think it was what I was looking for.

Item inherits the color property from the UObject class.

You would use something like ListItemsNearLocation() from uo.em
http://docs.polserver.com/pol099/fullfu ... lfile=uoem

It will give you an array of item references and from there you can modify their color properties.

If you just wanted to do one item at a time, you could use the Target() function in UO.em and modify the color property of the item clicked.
Just make sure to do something like object.IsA(POLCLASS_ITEM) in an if statement to verify it is an item.


Most script bases also have smoe sort of .setprop or .setproperty command in a textcommand/commands package folder (or pol/scripts/textcmd for old school setups) and allow you to do .setprop color #

I have a gm effect for hiding and unhiding, and I would like to set it to a particular color.
Can someone give me a quick example or where should I look.

effect.color = 1153;

thanks for the help everybody, but I am getting this error----
variable effect has not been declared

Well "effect" would be whatever the reference to your effect is named (if it's an object). If the effect is made by PlayStationaryEffect(), try using PlayStationaryEffectEx() and change the hue parameter.
