Lua [TFS 1.2] How can I make specific items not drop on death?

[Eldora]

How can I make specific item IDs not drop when a player dies, but the rest should still work as usual?

Maybe droploot.lua or playerdeath.lua?

For example:
Item ID: 1, 2 and 3 should NOT drop if player die with it on them?

 

[Error 502]

in droploot
but what item, what slot?

example:
item id = 7552 in CONST_SLOT_AMMO

for i = CONST_SLOT_HEAD, CONST_SLOT_AMMO do
            local item = player:getSlotItem(i)
            local backpack = player:getSlotItem(CONST_SLOT_AMMO)
    if backpack.itemid == 7552 then
        item = player:getSlotItem(i - 1)
    end

I want the following item ids to not drop on death, no matter what slot they are in:
11719 , 11723 and 11720

How can I add that?

I don't think it works like that xd
what you could do is
make a bag that does not droop
and add the items
11719 , 11723 and 11720

login

    if player:getLastLoginSaved() == 0 then
local backpack1 =player:addItem(7552, 1, true,  1, CONST_SLOT_AMMO) --ID BAG stack in slot ammo PD: look for a CONST_SLOT that doesn't work for you
 

        backpack1:addItem(11719,1)      --ID ITEM 1  inside the bag
        backpack1:addItem(11723,1)      --ID ITEM 2 inside the bag
        backpack1:addItem(11720,1)      --ID ITEM 3 inside the bag
end

droploot.lua

for i = CONST_SLOT_HEAD, CONST_SLOT_AMMO do

            local item = player:getSlotItem(i)

            local backpack = player:getSlotItem(CONST_SLOT_AMMO)

    if backpack.itemid == 7552 then --all item inside the bag id 7552 no drop (item 1,2,3)

        item = player:getSlotItem(i - 1)

    end

Items.xml

       <item id="7552" article="a" name="NO DROOP backpack">
        <attribute key="weight" value="1" />
        <attribute key="containerSize" value="3" />
        <attribute key="slotType" value="backpack" />
    </item>

@Eldora
droploot.lua is pretty simple. It replicates RL Tibia. Executes 'check if it can drop given item 10-11 times = for each "slot" of player':

What you ask for is probably some dumb OTS system 'prevent [premium] item drop', so players can use item X [paid item] on any item and that item becomes undroppable. A lot of CPU wasted + some weird behavior, as undroppable item blocks some containers (their parents) from dropping

I do not recommend this kind of item. If you want some 'undroppable' item, make it as @Error 502 mentioned. Just create extra 'premium' BP that does not drop.

Thank you guys, I agree with you @Gesior.pl it seems like a bad idea to use this solution.
