[Help] Drop Item from Quest, bad idea?

[Cripplez 40]

Hi, I would need a quest that start when you kill mobs, and based on your level, drop different item.

But i don't know if something like this may cause too much lag and should be better doing it ina  different way

This is an example of what i would need to do:

quest test_drop begin
	state start begin
		when kill with not npc.is_pc() begin
			-- not sure how to do this part, if mob is 10 level > or < than pc_leven then return
				return
				
			else
				local drop math.random(1, 10000)
				local items1 = {101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106} 
				local items2 = {201, 202, 203, 204, 205, 206} 
				local items3 = {301, 302, 303, 304, 305, 306} 
				local items4 = {401, 402, 43, 404, 405, 406} 
				local items5 = {501, 502, 503, 504, 505, 506} 
				if drop <= 100 then
					if pc.get_level() > 19 and pc.get_level() < 40 then
						game.drop_item_with_ownership(items1[number(1, table.getn(items1))])
					elseif pc.get_level() > 39 and pc.get_level() < 60 then
						game.drop_item_with_ownership(items2[number(1, table.getn(items2))])
					elseif pc.get_level() > 59 and pc.get_level() < 80 then
						game.drop_item_with_ownership(items3[number(1, table.getn(items3))])
					elseif pc.get_level() > 79 and pc.get_level() < 99 then
						game.drop_item_with_ownership(items4[number(1, table.getn(items4))])
					elseif pc.get_level() > 99 then
						game.drop_item_with_ownership(items5[number(1, table.getn(items5))])
				else
					return
				end
			end
		end
	end
end

I don't like so much Lua, but i did something fast, i hope that's what you wanted.
Replace npc.get_level() with npc.get_level0() if you use marty source.

quest common_drop_quest begin
	state start begin

		function CanDrop(pc_level, npc_level, isPC)
			local DIFF_LEVEL_CONST = 10
			return not isPC and math.abs(pc_level - npc_level) <= DIFF_LEVEL_CONST
		end

		function GetSettings()
			local PLAYER_MAX_LEVEL_CONST = 105
			return
			{
				{ 20, 40, {27001, 27001, 27001, 27001, 27001, 27001} }, -- from 20 to 39
				{ 40, 60, {27002, 27002, 27002, 27002, 27002, 27002} }, -- from 40 to 59
				{ 60, 80, {27003, 27003, 27003, 27003, 27003, 27003} }, -- from 60 to 79
				{ 80, 100, {27004, 27004, 27004, 27004, 27004, 27004} }, -- from 80 to 99
				{ 100, PLAYER_MAX_LEVEL_CONST + 1, {27005, 27005, 27005, 27005, 27005, 27005} }, -- from 100 to PLAYER_MAX_LEVEL_CONST
			}
		end

		when kill with common_drop_quest.CanDrop(pc.get_level(), npc.get_level(), npc.is_pc()) begin
			local common_drop_table = common_drop_quest.GetSettings()

			for i = 1, table.getn(common_drop_table) do
				local dropLevelMin, dropLevelMax, dropItemTable = unpack(common_drop_table[i])
				local dropItemVnum = dropItemTable[number(1, table.getn(dropItemTable))]

				if pc.get_level() >= dropLevelMin and pc.get_level() < dropLevelMax then
					if number(1, 10000) <= 100 then
						game.drop_item_with_ownership(dropItemVnum)
						break
					end
				end
			end
		end
	end
end

Tested?

[Syreldar 1808]

Making a mob_drop_item in lua is not only possible, but also very convenient and way more manageable than the .txt counterpart: you can basically do whatever you want with it, like apply drop eventflags to increase/decrease drops at will.

 

The only downside is that systems such as the info_drop will stop working, since they work by string parsing the .txt.

I have this problem with "normal" common_drop_item
