Author Topic: Brick based item dropping and looting and stuff.  (Read 520 times)

Basically I'm developing an RP server that's gonna have a big build and is based around exploration.

To accomplish this I need a new mechanic that allows players to drop items in safe spots and come back to pick them up again later. What I was hoping for is that when a player drops an item via ctrl-w, when the item hits the ground it creates an invisible 1x1 plate there that has the dropped item set, and when the player picks this item back up, the brick disappears along with the item.

That way we can be able to drop items without them disappearing soon after and it can be used in conjunction with the 'click to pick up' add-on.

Why not just items that don't disappear? That seems much simpler.

I feel as if making it brick based would make it more stable.

I know what you're talking about and it always somewhat bothered me to see it in action, it was always difficult to try and get certain items without picking up the rest.

I guess it would help if I typed out my entire idea for the server and all the stuff I need but I fear it'd look really overwhelming and drive everyone away lol

you could actually put items into bricks if you get the storage addon then turn a brick into a store cube (they would need a storage backpack though)
