Type definitions are the equivalent of EVENTS that can be attached to items. There are different properties that can be used to attach a type block to an item or set of items:
- item definitions via their TYPE and/or TEVENTS property.
- items via their TYPE and/or EVENTS property.
In addition to handling triggers, type definitions can also be used to define different types of terrain. This can be used to affect the return value of the TYPE property on map points, or for some hardcoded types such as t_rock it can be used to define which terrain IDs Sphere should consider to be rock when the mining skill is used.
Built-in Types
The built-in types are all listed in the sphere_defs.scp file. The table below only lists some of the built-in types and it is VERY weak on actual details...so use with care.
DEFNAME | Number | Description |
---|---|---|
t_normal | 0 | No built-in behavior. |
t_container and t_container_locked | 1 and 2 | These types are used for containers. They leverage the following properties:
|
t_door or t_door_unlocked | 3 or 4 | This type is used for both locked and unlocked doors. They leverage the following properties:
|
t_key | 5 | This type is used for keys. It leverages the following properties:
Note: Keys, containers, and doors are interesting. If both a key and a door/container contain the same arbitrary MORE1 value, the key can be used to lock or unlock the door/container. That action changes the TYPE of the door/container to indicate whether it is locked or not. It also seems like LINK on the key can be set to the UID of a multi so that it can be used to open all doors/containers inside that multi. |

Scripted TYPEDEFs
DEFNAME | File | Description |
---|---|---|
t_advance_gate | ??.scp | MORE = ID of character to change into |
Syntax
The syntax for defining a type is:
[TYPEDEF defname]
TERRAIN=id
TERRAIN=start_id, end_id
ON=trigger_name
script
ON=trigger_name
script
Any number of triggers can be handled by one TYPEDEF definition, however it is not possible to handle the same trigger twice without using multiple definitions.
The trigger name can be the name of any item trigger. The return value from the script can affect Sphere's hardcoded behaviour in different ways. See the documentation for the trigger to discover what parameters are passed in to each trigger and what the return values do.
Note: If the defname matches any of Sphere's hardcoded types (see 'typedefs' block in sphere_defs.scp), then the TYPEDEF can be used to override the behaviours of items of that type.
Examples
// // Water definition from default script pack. // [TYPEDEF t_water] TERRAIN = 0a8 0ab TERRAIN = 0136 0137
// // Makes an item speak when double clicked. // [TYPEDEF t_exampletype] ON=@DClick SAY I have been double clicked! RETURN 2
