what i need is a how-to-guide, lol =P.  actually, what i need is a big long conversation some night between me particle and funger about what our final objectives are so at least i have an idea of what i am going for and which functions to strip down and re-write.

p.s. - the variable system needs some help =)

Ok, so heres the new item var set, i am lookin for some input on the system because i am just in need of ideas.  right now, this is what i have set for a new item variable system :

//-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
// Start The Weap/Ammo Counts
$Item::WeapCount = 0;
$Item::AmmoCount = 0;
//-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
// Set Item Vars For The Weapon
// (Notice That More Things Are Hand Set; ie - ATK, DEF, etc.)
$Item::Var[Weapon, $Item::WeapCount++] = ShortBow;
$Item::Var[ShortBow, Type] = "Ranged";
$Item::Var[ShortBow, Skill] = $SkillArchery;
$Item::Var[ShortBow, Range] = 120;
$Item::Var[ShortBow, ATK] = " ";
$Item::Var[ShortBow, DEF] = " ";
$Item::Var[ShortBow, MDEF] = " ";
$Item::Var[ShortBow, Weight] = 2;
$Item::Var[ShortBow, ItemInfo] = "<f0>A Short Bow.";
$Item::Var[ShortBow, ShapeFile] = "longbow";
$Item::Var[ShortBow, MountPoint] = 0;
$Item::Var[ShortBow, MountOffset] = "0 0 0";
$Item::Var[ShortBow, FireTime] = getDelay(ShortBow);
$Item::Var[ShortBow, ReloadTime] = 0;
$Item::Var[ShortBow, sfxFire] = "CrossbowShoot1";
$Item::Var[ShortBow, sfxActivate] = "CrossbowSwitch1";
$Item::Var[ShortBow, sfxReload] = "";
$Item::Var[ShortBow, Description] = "Short Bow";
$Item::Var[ShortBow, ClassName] = "Weapon";
$Item::Var[ShortBow, HudIcon] = "bow";
$Item::Var[ShortBow, Heading] = "bWeapons";
$Item::Var[ShortBow, ShadowMask] = 4;
$Item::Var[ShortBow, Price] = 0;
$Item::Var[ShortBow, ShowWeapon] = true;
//-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
// dont really know what to do with these for the weapon image vars :
//   lightType = 3;
//   lightRadius = 3;
//   lightTime = 1;
//   lightColor = { 0.6, 1, 1.0 };
//-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
// Set The Item Var's For The Projectiles
$Item::Var[Ammo, $Item::AmmoCount++] = BasicArrow;
$Item::Var[BasicArrow, Description] = "Basic Arrow";
$Item::Var[BasicArrow, ClassName] = "Projectile";
$Item::Var[BasicArrow, ShapeFile] = "tracer";
$Item::Var[BasicArrow, Heading] = "xAmmunition";
$Item::Var[BasicArrow, ShadowMask] = 4;
$Item::Var[BasicArrow, Price] = 0;
//-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
// Set What Projectiles The Bows Can Use.
$Item::Var[WeaponAmmo, ShortBow, 0] = BasicArrow;
//-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

just figured i would let you guys see what i am trying to do and see what u guys think needs to be done.

P.S. - IF YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW TO CODE, SHUT UP AND STAY OUT OF THIS.

Hmmm Price 0?
weight 2?
I dont like the way u make ur items... there is much much more simpler ways...

[UnderGod]

It wasn't ment for simplicity

And you should know that Tribes auto generates the price.

[Jason_Xero]

Of course you can hard code and make your own prices.  I've done it.

[eViL]

sabby, let me review, tribes rpg does not use that, but can be made to use it if done right.  you could turn that price into the hardcoded price and save yourself a few lines of code in other places, but what the hell, ITS A forkING EXAMPLE.  got it?  good.

and sab, ozzy is right, i didn't create this system for simplicity.  if i wanted simplicity, i wouldn't be making this system.
