Book

Revision as of 06:36, 13 August 2006 by imported>Dark soul

Book items are unique in one way. When activated by the player they are not immediately placed in his inventory. Instead a scroll or book page is displayed with a set of controls for reading it. One of those controls is Take. The object is only added to the player's inventory if that option is selected.

  • Teaches: Grants a point of this skill to the reader.
  • Scroll: If checked, the scroll background and controls are displayed instead of the book background and controls.
  • Can't be Taken: The "Take" button is not displayed. Used for posters that can be read but not added to the inventory. This also disables the item's Havok physics, preventing the item from being moved by the Grab button, spell effects, etc.
  • Book Text: Uses a simplified HTML format to display book text. If the Enchanting field contains an object, the text is not displayed.
  • Enchanting: The magic effects associated with this object. If this field is set, activating the book will prepare these spell effects and not display the Book Text field. Scroll box must be checked to use.
  • Enchantment: Not used.

Note: *Can't be taken* appears to not actually disable a books havok physics like it says it does.
