Changing item mount point

[ThinkInvisible]

I'm making some items and one of them needs to be on the chest (point 2) instead of the hand (point 0).
If I add the line 'mountpoint = 2;' to the datablock the item will not unequip unless dropped.
How do I make it unequip if the player changes items?

Try this.

Code: [Select]

package Blah
function BlahImage::onMount(%this, %obj, %slot)
{
parent::onMount(%this, %obj, %slot);

if(%obj.getMountedImage(2).getName() $= "BlahImage")
{
%obj.unMountImage(2);
}
}
};
activatePackage(Blah):
Replace the Blahs with the appropriate stuff.

Now it won't mount the image at all.

Also, you don't need to use {} if the if structure only runs one line:
if(%obj.getMountedImage(2).getName() $= "BlahImage")
         %obj.unMountImage(2);
Or even:
if(%obj.getMountedImage(2).getName() $= "BlahImage") %obj.unMountImage(2);

Try dropping the parent under the code, and i'm sure jes knows about bracket structure idk why you brought that up, but whatever.

Fixed:


package Blah_handleMount {
   function BlahHImage::onMount(%this, %obj, %slot)
   {
      %obj.MountImage(BlahImage, 2);      
      parent::onMount(%this, %obj, %slot);
   }
   function BlahHImage::onUnMount(%this, %obj, %slot)
   {
         %obj.unMountImage(2);
      parent::onUnMount(%this, %obj, %slot);
   }
};


where BlahHImage is stripped of any models, emitters, and firing functions.

What?

What?

datablock ShapeBaseImageData(BlahHImage : BlahImage) {
 stateEmitter[any emitter number] = "";
 stateEmitterTime[any emitter number] = "";
 shapeFile = "base/data/shapes/empty.dts";
 armReady = false;
 mountPoint = 0;
 //etc.
};
