OnEquip Check?

Can I add generic attachments to players with names that can be checked against when equipping items?
Basically I want to add to an items script a check that looks if an attachment named "X" is on the player and if so allow them to equip it. If not then it won't allow the player to equip the item.
Any ideas on how I may go about doing this?

Thanks

yes. I generally use the XmlData attachment for that kind of generic thing.

To have an item check for it in the CanEquip method script, just add an override like this

CODE

public override bool CanEquip(Mobile m)
{
if (XmlAttach.FindAttachment(m, typeof(XmlData), "X") == null)
{
// didnt find the XmlData attachment with that name on the mobile, so cant equip
return false;
}

return base.CanEquip(m);
}

and you will need to add this to the beginning of the script

CODE

using Server.Engines.XmlSpawner2;

Ah thank you very much. the fact XmlSpawner allows this has just made my life so much easier

Could I add the attachment "X" to a player via a deed or some other item when used?

the attachments are very handy that way. Dont have to worry about ser/deser, and you can add or remove them any time you like.

yes, to add an attachment like that via a script just add something like

CODE

XmlAttach.AttachTo(player, new XmlData("X"));

into whatever method you want, like OnDoubleClick or or OnUse
