#328, "request/return"
|
I think this was suggested some time ago, but I think on another board. However, I can't remember where, or what the response was, so I thought I'd suggest it again.
When requesting items, it would be useful (and good roleplay) if a character could "return <item> <NPC>" after the request lag, if the character decides they don't need the item after all. The result of "return item" would be that the NPC in question re-wears/wields/holds the item and possibly thanks the character for returning it. This way a good character could return the item and not feel guilty about depriving the good NPC of it's use. As it stands, you request it, identify it, find out that it's something you can't use, and then give it back, but the NPC doesn't reuse it and gains no benefit from having in its inventory.

You can give items back to the NPC in question already, and I really don't want to have to think about the guy who requests a sword with his goody, gives him back a practice sword, then logs on his evil to go whack this guy down later because he's got a low avg weapon.
So long, and thanks for all the fish!

I think what he means is, be able to return the initially requested item to the NPC and have them rewield/rewear this initially requested item.
Regardless, I think this would be annoying to code.

IF obj 000001 is returned from the npc it loads to
THEN said npc wields/wears as appropriate
ELSE obj 000001 sits in inventory or is dropped (like a cabal inner)
(I know, sounds easy in theory. Probably way harder)

If char01 requests object01{
flag object01 requested
flag mob01 requested of object01
}
if char01 returns object01{
if object01 flagged requested from mob01
mob01 wears/wields object01
}else mob01 drops object01

But the cost/benefit of doing such is more than it's worth. Making sure "flag mob01 requested of object01" is the hard part, since you could request their entire set of X pieces of gear that you'd have to track, and they could reset new gear that could also get requested away that needs to be potentially tracked. All so the guy who is really just identifying gear, can not feel so guilty.
Not worth the effort. So long, and thanks for all the fish!
