Description

Rewards the player with a random item from a list.

Examples

Method 1: Item Group

By using item group, item chance to be gained can be decided. First, must decide ID for item group, edit the const.txt (github.com) file. Example,

IG_TestRandomItem  392

Maximum Item Group ID is 399 as defined in #define MAX_ITEMGROUP 400 Then put the item list on item_group_db.txt (github.com) with format

//GroupID,ItemID,Rate{,Amount,Random,isAnnounced,Duration,isNamed,isBound}
IG_TestRandomItem,607,10
IG_TestRandomItem,608,5
IG_TestRandomItem,678,7

Then use script command getrandgroupitem

getrandgroupitem IG_TestRandomItem,1;

If the item list is added when server is running, just use @reloaditemdb. More info can be found on Item Group Documentation

Method 2: F_Rand Function

This function is one of many useful functions in Global_Functions.txt (github.com) file.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Returns a random argument.
// -- callfunc "F_Rand",arg0,arg1,...
// Example:
//    // You can use it to pick a random number from a list:
//    set @itemIDfromList, callfunc("F_Rand",1129,1222,1163,1357,1360,1522,1811,1410);
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
function   script  F_Rand  {
return getarg(rand(getargcount()));
}

How to use? Just use like at the example, call the F_Rand function then follow the item ID, the rate for each item to shows up is 1/n. Example usage can we see in item_db.txt,

12136,Women's_Bundle,Women's Bundle,2,0,,100,,,,,0xFFFFFFFF,63,2,,,,,,{
getitem callfunc("F_Rand",558,529,2668,7518),1; },{},{}

Method 3: Using Array

// begin of the script
setarray .@RandItem[0],501,502,503,504,505;
set .@RandItemCount,getarraysize(.@RandItem);
getitem(.@Randitem[rand(.@RandItemCount)],1);
// end of the script
  • .@RandItem[] is an array that stores the available item rewards.
    • .@RandItem[0] => 501
    • .@RandItem[1] => 502
    • .@RandItem[2] => 503
    • .@RandItem[3] => 504
    • .@RandItem[4] => 505
  • .@RandItemCount stores length of .@RandItem[] array
  • rand(<number>)</number> results a random number from 0 until <number> -1</number>. See Rand
  • getitem(<item_id>,<amount>)</amount></item_id> gives to player an item with id <item_id></item_id>. See Getitem or maybe you can use Getitem2 too.
