Title: Making npcs drop stacks of coins Instead of 1 coin drops.

Purpose: This will teach you how to edit your npchandler.java so it will drop stacks of coins.

Difficulty: 0-1

Files changed: npchandler.java

Okay first thing open up your npchandler.java and search for this or something close to its nature.

Code:

public void MonsterDropItem(int NPCID)

Okay below that you should see some coden that looks simlar to this.

Code:

                            if (npcs[NPCID].npcType == 275) {
                                ItemHandler.addItem(4273, npcs[NPCID].absX,
                                        npcs[NPCID].absY, 1, GetNpcKiller(NPCID),
                                        false);
                            }
                            if (npcs[NPCID].npcType == 18) {
                                ItemHandler.addItem(Item3.randomguard(),
                                        npcs[NPCID].absX, npcs[NPCID].absY, 1,
                                        GetNpcKiller(NPCID), false);
                            }

Now look at the this part of the coden.

Code:

npcs[NPCID].absY, 1, GetNpcKiller(NPCID),

Each npc that has a random drop from a item3.java or item4.java will load the drops and determine if stackable How many of that item to drop. Now we are gona make a simple change so it will drop a stack of coins Or noted items to the number you set.

This is definded by the "1" in that code. We are gona simply change the 1 to "1000".
So it looks like this in the coden.

Code:

npcs[NPCID].absY, 1000, GetNpcKiller(NPCID),

Now what we have just done is changed stackable drop amount from 1 to 1000.

Your complete code will look like this

Code:

                            if (npcs[NPCID].npcType == 275) {
                                ItemHandler.addItem(4273, npcs[NPCID].absX,
                                        npcs[NPCID].absY, 1000, GetNpcKiller(NPCID),
                                        false);
                            }

Compile then run

There you go That npc will now drop 1000 coins, runes, etc. depending on what item is stackable in its npc drop list in item3-item4.java.

Hope this tutorial helped.
