Thread: 667 - Change how long floor/ground/dropped items stay for

Something to keep in mine,,, items are "invisible" to the world, other than the owner, for three minutes, by default, which is a Long, in World.Java.

Hopefully this points you in the right direction!

thank you for your message, i just timed the drops on the ground for a normal account and a they stay for around 4 mins 30.

Edit ive had a look at where you said but i cant seem to find where to change it

Posted the code i see here..

		return addGroundItem(item, tile, owner, invisible, hiddenTime, type, 150);

the end line, vith the value of 150. that is where you can change the public time of the item.

hiddenTime can be changed in several ways as well, to change how long the item stays HIDDEN to the public (other players) as well. you could do something like:

Code:

	return addGroundItem(item, tile, owner, invisible, hiddenTime-60, type, 90);

which would reduce the hiddenTime by 60 seconds, and do the same for 90 (publicTime)



i've given you a break down =]
EDIT: this is still in World.java

are we speaking about the same thing here, will this change how long NPC drops (items dropped after NPC is killed) will stay on the floor before been removed?

i dont mean like if a player drops a item, how long it will stay and then others can see it

sorry, im just not getting it with looking at the code i have to the one you have put

HIDDENTIME, is how long it will last HIDDEN to the public (allplayers), while being visible to the OWNER (is applicable). once the HIDDENTIME is over, it is visible to the world, for the amount of time PUBLICTIME decides..

Code:

return addGroundItem(item, tile, owner, invisible, hiddenTime-60, type, 90);

the YELLOW is how long the item will be invisible IF IT HAS AN OWNER, before becoming visible to every player.
the RED number, is how long the item will STAY ON THE FLOOR BEFORE IT GOES AWAY



search for:

Code:

public static final FloorItem addGroundItem(final Item item, final WorldTile tile,
			final Player owner/*
								 * null for default
								 */, boolean invisible,
			long hiddenTime/*
							 * default 3 minutes
							 */, int type) {
		return addGroundItem(item, tile, owner, invisible, hiddenTime, type, 150);

and edit the blue line

This is what i mean, i have tried look for it but for some reason that isnt there the closest i have is something like ...[Only registered and activated users can see links. ] this is before the code i sent before

are you not searching in world.java?

i'm a bit confused.

Yeah buddy, im looking in world.java - this is the full file [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
