I want all of the megabeasts to drop one piece of weaponry or armour. For this to work, I've had to add a couple of them next to the basic Dragon, Hydra, Titan and Colossus. So now I've got nine megabeasts (I'm planning on having every species of them have only one name, one of the muses, but that'll be addressed later) and each one of them drops a weapon (pikes, (cross)bows and whips not included) or a piece of armour (shield, helmet, leggings...) specific for that creature and made from a specific material. Now my question is how I do this exactly. So far I've got these for [ITEMCORPSE]

code:

[ITEMCORPSE:ARMOR:DRAGON_ARMOUR:METAL:DRAGON_SCALE]
[ITEMCORPSE:WEAPON:TITAN_HAMMER:METAL:TITAN_ARM]
[ITEMCORPSE:WEAPON:COLOSSUS_SWORD:METAL:COLOSSUS_STEEL]

[ITEMCORPSE:WEAPON:GORGON_MACE:METAL:GORON_HEAD]
[ITEMCORPSE:SHIELD:SPHINX_SHIELD:METAL:SPHINX_STONE]

These as the inputs for the materials:

I've tried a couple of times playing as a Titan and once they dropped a metallic flail (wrong syntax), once a Titan Arm pike, a TA two-handed sword, TA war hammer and various other weapons made from Titan Arms, but not once did I see a Titan Arm Hammer. I would like to know why that is. It'll have something to do with the [ITEMCORPSE:WEAPON:TITAN_HAMMER]-part, but I have no idea what's wrong with it.

And there's another question, an easier on, most likely. Where do creature names come from? Are they randomly chosen from the language_-files? If so, where are the references  put? In the creature's code or in the creature's entity's code?

Anyway, thanks.

[Sean Mirrsen]

The titan hammer has "ITEM_" in its ID. You have to use the exact ID, otherwise the game writes it off as an error and sticks a random choice in there, making it spawn random weapons.

[Deon]

Right.
So it should be
[ITEMCORPSE:ARMOR:ITEM_DRAGON_ARMOUR:METAL:DRAGON_SCALE]
instead of
[ITEMCORPSE:ARMOR:DRAGON_ARMOUR:METAL:DRAGON_SCALE]

The same problem with other things.

[Kidiri]

Ah, thanks a lot guys. I thought it would be something like that, but wasn't quite sure.

[Rawl]

Okay I'm going to build of this topic and expand it slightly.
Is it possible to have a creature ITEMCORPSE multiple items or am I just trying to hard? I've tried multiple lines and bunching in brackets. All just seem to make it drop the first ITEMCORPSE that's tagged. Does anyone have any ideas to get the desired results?

[Inquisitor Saturn]

Well, in the vanilla game the itemcorpse tag is used by only two creatures, so I doubt Toady will have added a multiple drop function.

Correct.  The item takes the place of the corpse, as the ITEMCORPSE tag is pretty clear on.
Two corpses would be odd.

[Rawl]

Touche. Well then, on to plan b!

[Deon]

Also note that it drops first itemcorpse only.
If you want a random drop though, it's possible.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Actually, last. Only the last of the itemcorpse entries will take effect.

[Deon]

Thanks for fixing =). Anyway, it means there's no sense to announce more than 1 itemcorpse.
