[xeon]

Is the tent owned? Is it a house?

Is the tent owned? Is it a house?

yes

[xeon]

There is a parameter in pol.cfg that controls if items decay in private houses

http://docs.polserver.com/pol099/config ... hp#pol.cfg

can't find it

Actually, its itemdesc.cfg DecaysOnMultis.

[RusseL]

but that item will be decaying in all of multis

item should be decayed only when is lying on the ground in the tent

Then you have to do a control script of some kind for that house type that do that job for you, I think.

I believe the server applies the same rules to the ground in a tent the same way it does to the floor in a house or the deck of a ship. I know that because it's ground tiles you would expect things to decay on it but the server doesn't make a distinction between ground tiles and floor tiles. Every server I've used or played on acted the same way. I suppose you could write a control script that checks to see if the item is on a ground tile and if so then allow decay. Personally I'd let it stay as it is. From an RP perspective you should be able to leave things in a tent and not have them decay I would think. Anyway, that last bit was opinion and should not be taken for anything else : )

start checking with item.multi if it gives you multiRef or 0 as return value.
if it gives the multiRef its controlled by DecaysOnMultis ( if you are using the core decayer )
if it doesnt give it should decay as all other normal items. There is also the CanDecay syshook but it doesnt help you with this much
