Development Forum How would I get a vendor food to..    HavenHerbaven      4/17/2014 Okay so I'm starting on a new project and I'm wondering how I would I get the food in the vendor to lets say Increase Hotness? Also It would be a randomized vendor, where would i add the line would it be in the Food script area? Herb   Malkin Manager     4/17/2014 Would you like your food item to increase hotness when it's eaten? To bypass the learning mechanism, you'd use the CHEM command with the appropriate number for Hotness from the C3 Chemical List. The Chilis from the Garden Box have their eat script as follows: *Finally, the eat script. Nom. scrp 2 8 22935 12 inst snde "leat" stim writ from 78 1 *going to add hotness and vitamin C to mimic the hardman chilis. doif from ne null targ from chem 153 .15 chem 99 .35 endi kill ownr endm Hope this helps! My TCR Norns   HavenHerbaven   4/17/2014 That helps alot now! I would add it to the eat script? Also can you add more than one chemical? Herb   Malkin Manager     4/17/2014 If you wanted the food to increase hotness when eaten, you would add it to the eat script. As you'd be doing the randomisation long before it gets to that stage, it wouldn't affect putting the heat in. And yes, you can add more than one chemical, you just have to add a new CHEM line for each one. My TCR Norns   HavenHerbaven   4/18/2014 So for the CHEM line would be this doif from ne null targ from chem 153 .15 chem 99 .35 endi ? Also how would the code look if it where decreasing? I also was wondering with my sprite sheet I have a grab and a put down would I need more code than lets say when I did my pudding? Herb   Malkin Manager     4/18/2014 The line I was referring to was just the 'chem [number] [number]' line. First you need to check that the FROM isn't null. The FROM is 'the thing that made this script run'. In this case, the FROM is the creature that eats the food. doif from ne null Then you need to set the TARG to not be the food, but the creature that ate the food, by setting the TARG to be FROM. targ from Then you inject 0.15 units of chemical number 153, and 0.35 units of chemical number 99. The amount has to be something between -1.0 and 1.0. chem 153 .15 chem 99 .35 If you wanted to add in more chemicals, you could add in more of these kinds of lines - for example, the General Cure from C3 has these chemicals: chem 100 .15 chem 97 .15 chem 95 .15 chem 92 .15 chem 93 .15 chem 96 .15 chem 94 .15 chem 117 .45 Then you need to close off the DOIF statement from before with an ENDI. My TCR Norns   Malkin Manager     4/18/2014 What would you want your get and drop scripts for your agent to do? My TCR Norns   HavenHerbaven   4/18/2014 Oh now I see. Okay so It would vend laying down and then the creature picks it up and it be the standing sprites than the creature would set it down and it would be back to the laying down position. Is that possible? Herb   Malkin Manager     4/18/2014 That should be quite easy. Because all of your POSEs will be relative to the BASE, the randomisation won't interfere with it, as long as you have your 'standing up' and 'lying down' pictures in the same sequence. **pickup event scrp 2 21 1000 4 stim writ from 18 1 pose [standing up pose #] endm **drop event scrp 2 21 1000 5 stim writ from 19 1 pose [laying down pose #] endm My TCR Norns   HavenHerbaven   4/18/2014 So in to sprite file The standing up ones would have a slightly different background would that change anything? or do I have to make the Background taller in the laying down to? Also where would I add the pose? Herb   Malkin Manager     4/18/2014 I think you'd have to make both of the backgrounds the same size, lying down and standing up. I'm not sure what you mean by 'where you'd add the pose'? My TCR Norns   HavenHerbaven   4/18/2014 Where would I add the pose scripts in my code? like at what area in it. Herb   Malkin Manager     4/18/2014 You would create two new scripts, scrp 2 11 X 4 for your pickup script and 2 11 X 5 for your drop script. My TCR Norns   Malkin Manager     4/20/2014 The other thing when working with chemicals, is that very small amounts of chemicals can have a big impact on how the norns behave - so it's best to be conservative and inject small amounts of things. Norns tend to eat a lot of food anyway, so it's particularly important there to keep the amounts smallish! My TCR Norns
