Lua [TFS 1.2] One Question..

[Caduceus]

* First question: I am trying to add a duration to a Flash arrow, so that when the item decays it will go back to a normal arrow. However, when I set:

<attribute key="decayTo" value="xxxx" />
<attribute key="duration" value="1200" />
<attribute key="showduration" value="1" />

The duration will only countdown after player logs out & back in or on restart. If the item is unequipped then re equipped, duration stops. Is there a way to resolve this? It doesn't happen to all items.

** Second question (solved): How can I add a text to an item? Example a scroll through.

player:addItem(1949, 1):setText(text)

Bump..

moveevent onEquip onDeEquip item:decay()

ITEM_ATTRIBUTE_TEXT
ITEM_ATTRIBUTE_DATE
ITEM_ATTRIBUTE_WRITER

item:setAttribute(ITEM_ATTRIBUTE_TEXT, "type something here")

date is timestamp and writer is guid I believe

moveevent onEquip onDeEquip item:decay()

Not sure what you mean here. Make a script for the items in movements to decay to 2544 after x amount of time?

item:setAttribute(ITEM_ATTRIBUTE_TEXT, "type something here")

This is what I was looking for. Thank you.

movement script which will make arrows decay (tfs doesn't seem to do it by default in equip/deequip case)

item:decay()

Item decays on creation, but still stops duration on either Equip or DeEquip.

<movevent event="Equip" itemid="7838" slot="ammo" level="100" script="Equip.lua">
        <vocation name="Paladin"/>
        <vocation name="Royal Paladin" showInDescription="0"/>
        <vocation name="Warlord Paladin" showInDescription="0"/>
    </movevent>
    <movevent event="DeEquip" itemid="7838" slot="ammo" script="DeEquip.lua"/>

function onEquip(player, item, slot)
    item:decay()
return true
end
   
function onDeEquip(player, item, slot)
    item:decay()
return true
end
