Utility Script #3 Spawn Item

[HeroOfFire]

A very simple, yet still useful utility script.

Script #3 Spawn Item
Spawns an item at the FFC's position when activated.
It can be flagged to spawn the item only if Link doesn't already have it.

//Various Scripts, by HeroOfFire

//NOTE: When I say activation of a script, I mean setting its CSet to 0.
//This is how I tell a script its been activated, triggered, etc.

import "std.zh"

//FFC Script SpawnItem
//Script that creates an item at the FFC's postion when activated
//Can be used to create common items infinetly or rare items once
//Not good to use with dungeon items (Map, Compass, Keys)
//D0 = FFC Number (starts at 1)
//D1 = Number of the item to be spawned
//D2 = If 1, check Link's inventory to see if he already has the item (good for one-time spawning)
ffc script SpawnItem {

 void run(float thisFFC, int itemSpawn, int checkInventory) {
    ffc this1 = Screen->LoadFFC(thisFFC);
    while (true)
    {
        if (this1->CSet == 0)
        {
            if (checkInventory == 1)
            {
                if (Link->Item[itemSpawn] == false)
                {
                    item iSpawn = Screen->CreateItem(itemSpawn);
                    iSpawn->X = this1->X;
                    iSpawn->Y = this1->Y;
                }
            }
            else
            {
                item iSpawn = Screen->CreateItem(itemSpawn);
                iSpawn->X = this1->X;
                iSpawn->Y = this1->Y;
            }
            this1->Data = 0;
            Quit();
        }
        Waitframe();
    }
 }
}

Quick Overview:
This script has 3 parameters.
The first is the FFC number.
The second is the item ID (via the I constants in std.zh).
The third is a flag. If 1, check Link's inventory for the item about to be spawned and spawn it only if Link doesn't have it.

Basic Uses:
Spawn an item when you trigger a secret (possibly through killing all enemies).
Spawn an item by activating this script through another script (like my FFCInterface).

Cool Things:
Infinite spawning potential: You can spawn the item every time you enter the room and activate the FFC.
Moving Item Spawn: Why can't the FFC be moving around?
2+ items per screen: You can spawn mutliple items by using this script.

Awsome Idea:
Try this. FFC1 = FFCInterface. FFC2 = SpawnItem. FFC3 = ProgressChecker.
FFC2 is placed over a solid block and looks like a treasure chest.
FFC3 is set to waiting for activation and will change the solid block under FFC2 into an open treasure chest.
FFC1 looks like a button and activates both FFC2 and FFC3 when you step on it.
Volia! A treasure chest triggered by FFCs and no secret combos (meaning you can have multiple per screen).

Flaw:
Dungeon items are a bit strange. You can't really check for keys (can you?), and there is no point in infinetly spawning maps, compasses, keys, or boss keys. Triforce items are also a bad idea to mutli-spawn.

Possible Updates:
Maybe I'll add a few if statements to check for problems, but otherwise, this script works well.

Here's an Idea-

more arrows-bombs mid-boss battle.

1. if (Whatever you need=0)
change ffc cset to 0

OR (to make it more challengeing)

if (ammo)=0
direct warp to screen with this script
have ffc cset START at 0, producing item immediately
either have more direct warps back OR some sort of script that

wait a few frames
when there is no item on the screen,
direct warp.

ect.

Great job!
