Drop lock?

[blackkat9666]

Ok I've tested some things out of boredom with 2 clients on.
I've noticed that when a player kills a monster, anyone could just go steal the drop since there's no lock on it.
It should lock on the player who killed the NPC for at least 30 seconds.
Is that possible?
If It needs sourcing, a mod may move my topic :) I do have VB6, so sourcing will not be a problem (unless of course I end up stupid lol)

Great idea, but I've only seen that in Kryce, I belive… Maybe Kris **might** share?  :P

I hope so lol, it'd be anoying to all players if some noobs steal the drops constantly and becomes rich at a low lv

Yeah, but they can distract the player for 30 seconds, or stand on it for 30 seconds, should make it invisible?  XD

Yeah but some players actually would wait right by the monster and the second it's defeated, POOF they are already on it.
Trust me I've had that anoying experience in some old games.

I think it's in teh source, but scripting should work, ask Kris, he **might** tell you.

Its source. But I would reconmend sending the items to the users invantory. Much easyer XD.

[blackkat9666]

better idea also, but…how XD i suck at scripting and sourcing lol

I honestly doubt Kris will be willing to release his code.

If drops are server side, you could use Call GivePlayerItem(index, F_Num, F_Amount, F_Durb)

you mean instead of the item dropping it would go directly into the inventory?
if that's it, what happens if the inventory's full? XD
