[Done for V0.38] SWAP_MOUSE from NULL doesn't work

Post by **Sophia** » Fri Apr 14, 2006 6:27 pm

I remember this being an issue in the last version, too, I think.

Trying to SWAP_MOUSE to NULL now works, but it's still not possible to swap from NULL. (That is, put something into an empty mouse hand, but only if it's empty)

I guess RELEASE can be used in this way but the mechanics get a bit messy.

This isn't a bug, its the correct behaviour - you can't swap from NULL (all hell would break loose if you tried doing it in a dungeon or on the party backpacks for example!).

What you want is a CREATE_NEW_IN_MOUSE action...which I'll add for you!

Either way, it cuts down on conversion chains and thats good.

This also makes the poison fountain even easier-- simply CREATE_NEW_IN_MOUSE an instantly-expiring item that poisons the character. If the mouse hand is full, nothing happens!

Good thing you got the cool, complex example in first then ; )
