Lua Custom Decay

[miens]

Hi!
In my server when certain monster gets a hit there is a chance he drops an item on his position:

function onHealthChange(creature, attacker, primaryDamage, primaryType, secondaryDamage, secondaryType, origin)

    if math.random(0,100) >50 and primaryDamage+secondaryDamage < Creature(creature):getHealth() then
       Game.createItem(2230,1,creature:getPosition())
    end

    return  primaryDamage, primaryType, secondaryDamage, secondaryType, origin
end

I dont want the exp area to be spammed with those items so I added decayTo attribute in items.xml

<item id="2230" article="a" name="bone">
        <attribute key="weight" value="950" />
        <attribute key="decayTo" value="0" />
        <attribute key="duration" value="5" />
    </item>

But the item does not decay. I figured that maybe i need to call item:decay() on my own. So I tried to add event that would call this function after some dealy. But as I was passing item:getUniqueId() as parameter later conversion with Item(parameter) returned nil. Even if I added 1 to the unique id. Any thoughts?

local i = Game.createItem(2230,1,creature:getPosition())
doDecayItem(i.uid)

will it convert it immediately or wait appropriate amount of time?

 

[andu]

convert what?

 

[miens]

if i use the function u mentioned - will it decay the item immediately when the funciton is called or will it wait amount of time specified in <attribute key="duration" value="5" />?

 

[andu]

it will execute decay countdown based on items.xml
