Title: "Ale Kegs" and other portable equipment
Post by: Runic Saga on July 22, 2009, 03:11:43 PM

This started off an idea Dwarf players were kicking around on IRC for beer kegs and then portable minor buff/heal items to act as resupply points for PCs. It could be really cool for server invasions, staging posts on long quests etc.

The Alchemist's Fire Keg has the option of "light fuse" or "pick up" as a dropped item, and can be carried. Now, could that item or the Catapult Pack etc be adapted to provide stuff like:

Ale Kegs: Portable, droppable 50 charge items that spawns an ale into the user's inventory on use.

High Quality Tent: Places a Spawn Point placeable at the deployed wilds location. Should be expensive though.

Massive Purple Crystal: Deployable item, works the same as a Purple Crystal but only casts Cure Light Wounds (5) on touch.

Thoughts/suggestions?

I like the tent idea.

A major problem with making these is that they block and mess up NPC pathing and PC pathing. Herbalism and all the plants already do this, for instance. I have no idea how to approach that, but when people start throwing down items like these in QAs, it causes problems.

Can you make them spaceless, in that they can be walked through?

I'm pretty sure you can apply cutscene ghost to non static placables, making them possible to be walked through!
