[FSoD] Items that spawn ____ on consume

These are something I added to my server that people can buy in the shop so they can spawn an enemy, if you are adding to a public server, you probably will want to add code that prevents you from spawning it anywhere, and etc. or else people will be killing other people by spawning on top of them lol

What I would do: Make it so you can only use it an a map you add, called "Spawn Room" or something, and on spawn the entity has stasis effect for X seconds or so, so people have time to react just in case, even though when in the "Spawn Room" everyone should know the danger they are in since anyone in there could be capable of spawning something.

In Db>Data>Descriptors.cs in the ActivateEffects enum (ctrl+f to find it easily) add "SpawnMedusa" for example at the bottom and don't forget to add a comma after the 2nd to last one since you're adding a new ActivateEffect

Then in Player.UseItem.cs add this code somewhere with the other ActivateEffects as long as its not interfering with another one

Code:

                    case ActivateEffects.SpawnMedusa:
                        {
                            Entity entity = Entity.Resolve(Manager, 0x654); //"0x654" is the object ID of what you want to spawn when you consume item
                            entity.Move(X, Y); //this spawns the item wherever you are
                            Owner.EnterWorld(entity); //this makes it spawn basically in the world you are in
                        }
                        break;

now add the xml of the item, lets name is "Medusa Egg" for example, this xml should work its just using the health potion texture lol
the bolded line in the XML is what you must add if adding more spawner items, thats what makes it activate the code youll add in useitem which spawns the enemy, youll also need </consumable> in the xml, you're better off just copying this xml and changing the name in <Activate> to the name of your code in ActivateEffect enum and the desc. and texture and name and id obviously.

Code:

   <Object type="0xba29" id="Medusa Egg">
      <Class>Equipment</Class>
      <Item/>
      <Texture>
         <File>lofiObj2</File>
         <Index>0x32</Index>
      </Texture>
      <SlotType>10</SlotType>
      <Tier>1</Tier>
      <Description>An egg that spawns a Medusa on consume!</Description>
      <Sound>use_potion</Sound>
      <Activate>SpawnMedusa</Activate>
      <Consumable/>
      <Potion/>
      <BagType>0</BagType>
      <feedPower>5</feedPower>
      <DisplayId>Medusa Egg</DisplayId>
   </Object>

I swear I spend like ages thinking of ideas and you just come out of nowhere and just make code for an idea you had -.- gimme an idea of a cool item that isn't made yet because currently I am watching cat videos :3

nvm I will go to your post and steal an idea
jk I won't do that its your ideas to use I won't steal em

You might want to make it spawn 4 squares away from the player instead of spawning on top of them...just a suggestion :3 I can add it in if you want but its a pretty simple addition I think you know where to put it

" though most of them require client side work, at least if you want to make them pretty (for example, the bank idea, most people would rather going up to an atm sprited object and opening a frame with a neat gui to put money in/take money out of the bank instead of doing it all server sided via like a command or something like /deposit for example lol)
and yeah to make it spawn away from the player you just add "+ #" next to the X and Y in the entity.Move();

maybe have it say what is spawning in chat?
Seems like people could use to just kill each other

thats why i advised people make it so you can only use it in a certain map like they can make a map named "Spawn Room" thats just a square room big enough to spawn stuff in and have room to run around and kill it, and people must know that when they enter the spawn room that they are in danger of other people being able to spawn lol

oh really you don't care about those ideas..hmmm

also I forgot to say this but Good Work

OOHHH maybe a spawn timer that's really easy to add and its hella cool when you have the spawn timer right above players that just used the item so it warns and gives players time to move away :3 I think I might mod your activation in player.UseItem.cs so it can be user friendly

that's what I meant.

Nice idea!
Might wanna add some kind of switch or something like that to have 1 function instead of 50

He could simplify it by instead of it being SpawnMedusa it could just be a separate <Spawn></Spawn> Command and add the 0x6969 in it which will be the variable that will be switched between items so it allows for more then 1 item being used in that single XML Command such as

<Spawn>0x654</Spawn>

and the applied effect would be a var Spawii = (whatever is between <spawn>)

Code:

Entity entity = Entity.Resolve(Manager, spawii); ^ see that...

Idk Ill edit the thread later, so instead of <Activate>SpawnMedusa</Activate> it can be <Spawn>ID</Spawn> and I'll add code to make it safer as well, so people don't spawn on others, and so the spawner doesn't immediately die, etc.

Hey, very nice tut, but can you tell me / do you know how to make crates so you use an Item and you get Items(with droprates)

Yea that would be pretty simple....I might just make one for the fun of it :3
