1 time pickup item. script?

[Guest]

first sorry for my bad english,

question1…
Hey how i can do that every one can pickup a item on the map 1 time.
I mean, When i am editing the map, i place a item, but i want that this item don't come back if it picked up be any one, and every one can take this item 1 time.

question2...
I place a npc on the map, but i want that if he is killed by any one, it comes not back.
And every one can kill him one time.

Plz help me if it can...

question one.
source edit a scripted tile to make it drop an item every 100000000 etc seconds.

question 2
in the npc editor it says respawn time. set that to the max!

happy times.

A better way to do it, is to store things in inis using PutVar and GetVar.

So it checks to see if the player already picked up the item in the ini.

Here's the pseudo(scripted tile):

If GetVar("stuff.ini", player's name, "item") = "" Then
  Give Player Item
  PutVar("stuff.ini, player's name, "item", 1)
  Return
Else
  Print: You already took this item!
  Return
End If

For the other one, you could probably do something like this.

On the OnNpcDeath, do something like this:
Call Putvar("stuff.ini", player's name, npc's number, 1)

Then, on the OnAttack, something like,
If GetVar("stuff.ini", player's name, npc's number) <> "" Then
  Print: You already killed this NPC
  Exit Sub
End If
