Question: How do you make items like the orc campaign?

You know the one which require no inventory slot, but do not have that tome explosion cloud upon being picked up?

just look at the tomb in the WE, it comes with TFT, its default for the tomes and runes.

dont know what u talkin about.. but in the editor go to item editor and go under the folder campaign... all the campaign items are there.

ShadowStrike you missed the important part, TOMES HAVE THE CARTOON EXPLOSION MDL PLAY WHEN THEY ARE PICKED UP. Actually all items seem to have it when flag as consumable & auto used when aquired.

there are two solutions to this problem:

A. import a blank mdl file to whatever the cloud is

B. Erase your entire map because little clouds are pissing you off (my personal prefrence)

Scarlet, thanks for being of no help.

Unfortuantly, I don't think people want to see little tome clouds when they pick up swords, armors and other things. I mean I have no problem leaving them free. But as this is an RPG engine that key is easy integration I know the first thing I'll hear is why are there tome explosions when I pick up a sword?

well you obviously didn't read tip A, and also, i wouldn't mid tome clouds when you pick p a sword.

Scarlet I still need the cloud for when you pick up a tome.
(I mean why the hell else would I've coded all that tome for non-hero gunk, not for naught I assure you).

I don't KNOW this, but I was of the opinion the 'cloud' effect was part of the animation set for the tome. I assume that you tried just using ye ol' sword icon, and still got the cloud? Have you tried just using the graphics that are used in the Orc campaign, and seeing if THEY generate clouds?

Correct me if I am wrong, but using an item DOES NOT do anything like sounds etc. it just triggers the ability. So remove the ability from the item OR make the ability not create a sound or special effect.

An autoconsumed item with no ability will still create the cloud. (take your fav tome remove its abilities) it'll still make the cloud.

I just took an Amulet of the Wild, checked 'Automatically Use When Acquired', removed its ability, and it didn't make a toon cloud or any other effect. Perhaps the tomes are hard coded to make the toon cloud.
