items.zh

[ZoriaRPG]

Does anyone have a mirror of this library? The download links are all dead, most likely due to dropbox killing public folders.

I have some of his functions cloned in my old ItemHandling.zh header. I may have the newer one, on a server somewhere.

Is there a specific function, or set of utilities that you needed from it, failing that?

THis old, ugly weapon script uses some of them, but it does not have L/R Ex item buttons in it. The general premise for that, is this:

Store an item ID to a button somehow.
When the button is pressed, read the item stored to it.
Set that item to A or B.
Fake a press of A or B (respectively).

Not pretty, and the one frame graphical glitch will probably irritate you; which means scripting a visual fix for it.

Future ZC Notes and Notions

Spoiler: show

I'm leaning toward adding something along the lie of Game->RunItemScript() to ZScript in the future to allow using a scripted item from any button, and possibly Link->UseItem() if i want to lose more sleep, and more sanity. I've considered adding buttons mapped to all of the eight non-directional buttons for 2.60. That'll be joyful, and merit a other case of whiskey.
