Part 3: Creating Objects

In this part we create the items players find in the area: a weapon reward, a rat tail collectible, a pouch container, and consumables sold at the inn. We also set up the Trader’s shop so players can buy goods.

Object Plan

Step 1 — Create the Warden’s Short Sword

This is a quest reward weapon given by Aldric on completion.

The weapon values mean:

Step 2 — Create the Rat Tail

A collectible item rats drop that players bring back to Aldric.

Add the rat tail to the rat mob’s drop table:

The 10 is the drop chance percentage. Adjust as needed.

Step 3 — Create the Leather Pouch

A container dropped by Blagtooth containing bonus loot.

Container values:

v0 5 — capacity (holds 5 items)
v1 closeable closed — can be opened/closed, starts closed
v2 0 — no key required
v3 5 — max weight inside

Step 4 — Place Objects

Add gold and the pouch to Blagtooth’s inventory:

medit 5#203

done

In practice the pouch would be added as an oreset or through death script. See Part 5: Scripts for how to do this properly via a death program.

Step 5 — Create the Hearty Stew

A filling meal sold by the Trader at the inn.

oedit 5#303 create
oedit 5#303

Food values:

food hunger 4 — reduces hunger by 4 hours
food full 2 — reduces fullness (eating too much) by 2

Step 6 — Create the Mug of Ale

A drink sold by the Trader. Drink containers hold a liquid that can be consumed with the drink command.

oedit 5#304 create
oedit 5#304

Drink container values:

drink liquid ale — sets the liquid type (any name from liqedit list)
drink capacity 8 — total sips available when full
drink amount 8 — starts completely full

Step 7 — Set Up the Trader’s Shop

Now that the shop items exist, configure the Trader (5#201) with shop stock. The shopkeeper act flag was already set in Part 2; this adds the inventory she sells.

medit 5#201
shop assign
shop hours 7 22
shop profit 120 80
shop stock add object 5#300
shop stock add object 5#303
shop stock add object 5#304
shop stock 1 quantity 1 0
shop stock 2 quantity 10 2
shop stock 3 quantity 5 2
done

`shop assign`	Creates the shop data on the mobile
`shop hours 7 22`	Open 7am–10pm (24-hour clock)
`shop profit 120 80`	Charges 120% of item value; pays 80% when buying from players
`shop stock add object 5#300`	Stock slot 1: Warden’s Short Sword
`shop stock add object 5#303`	Stock slot 2: Hearty Stew
`shop stock add object 5#304`	Stock slot 3: Mug of Ale

`shop stock 2 quantity 10 2`	Stew: 10 available, restocks 2 per cycle

Players browse with list and purchase with buy <item>. Use shop restock <minutes> to set how often stock refreshes.
