I created a bomb-like item. It converts to a trap on hit. When I use the item, it works.
But when I create a monster that uses a ranged attack with that item, the item is thrown but doesn't convert to a trap on hit.

The item :

SpoilerShow

Code: Select all

defineObject{
	name = "trap_bomb_fire",
	baseObject = "base_item",
	components = {
		{
			class = "Model",
			model = "assets/models/items/essence_fire.fbx",
		},
		{
			class = "Item",
			uiName = "Trap Bomb",
			gfxIndex = 346,
			impactSound = "impact_blunt",
			stackable = false,
			sharpProjectile = false,
			projectileRotationY = 90,
			weight = 0.1,
			convertToItemOnImpact = "trap_rune_dispelable_fire"
		},
		{
			class = "Particle",
			particleSystem = "essence_fire",
		},
		{
			class = "ThrowAttack",
			attackPower = 4,
			cooldown = 5,
		},
	},
	tags = { "weapon", "weapon_throwing", "custom_vieuxchat" },
}

The monster :

SpoilerShow

Code: Select all

defineObject{
	name = "giant_snake_trap_thrower",
	baseObject = "base_monster",
	components = {
		{
			class = "Model",

Does this work for you?

Code: Select all

defineObject{
   name = "trap_bomb_fire",
   baseObject = "base_item",
   components = {
      {
         class = "Model",
         model = "assets/models/items/essence_fire.fbx",
      },
      {
         class = "Item",
         uiName = "Trap Bomb",
         gfxIndex = 346,
         impactSound = "impact_blunt",
         stackable = false,
         sharpProjectile = false,
         projectileRotationY = 90,
         weight = 0.1,
      },
      {
         class = "Particle",
         particleSystem = "essence_fire",
      },
	{
		class = "ThrowAttack",
		cooldown = 4,
	},
      {
         class = "BombItem",
         bombType = "fire",
         bombPower = 4,
         onExplode = function(self,level,x,y,facing,elevation) spawn("trap_rune_dispelable_fire",level,x,y,facing,elevation) end, 
      },
   },
   tags = { "weapon", "weapon_throwing", "custom_vieuxchat" },
}

I strongly advise against using convertToItemOnImpact. It really doesn't work properly - items ending up on the wrong side of obstacles, etc.
BombItemComponent or ProjectileImpactComponent can do the job better.

You're right. I'll fiddle with a bombitem component.
Thanks to you two.

What's the use of "bombtype" if I create a custom onExplode function ?
EDIT: and ItemComponent.onThrowAttackHitMonster(self, monster) can it be used to check if the "monster" hit is the party ? (It would be better if there were an "onThrowAttackHitParty" hook)

AFAIK, it has to have a valid bombType to avoid printing an error... If your bomb does fire damage, might as well use bombType fire.

Though you can use the others instead. [frost, shock, poison, fire]

It's a shame that omitting the bombType prints a console error for type nil. Offhand, I don't know if one can create custom bombTypes... Their names are probably hard coded.

trap_rune_dispelable_fire must be: fire_trap_rune

that made it work for me

But I created new traps based on the fire_trap_rune.
My trap_rune_dispelable_fire is also a spell with a different model. If fire_trap_rune work, my trap_rune_dispelable_fire should also work...

Aha... So you meant that the rune doesn't explode ~at first? [Why bombType= "fire" was a problem]

(Strange... I don't remember ever encountering the fire_trap_rune in the game; I didn't know it existed before tonight.)

Just return false from the onExplode hook and no explosion will be created. (The item will still be destroyed.)
