[Z+] LUA scripting

[Doken]

Is it possible to call a menu with an item activation?
I'd like to make an item with multiple, selectable activation uses.

If it's possible what is the command?
Is there a list of available LUA commands for Z+ somewhere?

I'd also like to be able to restrict activations based on race, level, class and realm choice. Are these possible?

I'm aiming to make a book "shield" and a wizard staff (equipped) that have multiple spells.

If this is possible, I'd appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction.

It's kludgy, but you could use get_check to have the player select an option. For instance:

if (get_check("Magic Missile? ") ~= 0) then [code]
elseif (get_check("Detect Monsters? ") ~= 0) then [code]
elseif (get_check("Lightning Bolt? ") ~= 0) then [code] end

You can definitely have code dependent on the player's attributes.

player.rp.pclass will return the code for the player's class; you compare these to things like CLASS_PALADIN.

player.rp.prace will return the code for the player's race. I think you have to compare these manually to numbers from 0 to 30, but you could try RACE_HUMAN and see if that works.

player.lev returns the player's current level; sometimes you can use simply "plev" for this.

player.spell.r[0].realm returns the player's 1st realm, player.spell.r[0].realm returns the 2nd realm. You can compare these to numbers from 1-7; 1 is Life, 2 is Sorcery, 3 is Nature, 4 is Chaos, 5 is Death, 6 is Conjuration, 7 is Arcane. player.spell.r[1].realm returns the player's 2nd realm, if any. A 0 indicates no realm in that position.

Have fun. Lua scripting really appealed to me, that's why I based my variant on Z.

Edit: P.S. There is a list, available in the source code. If you open that up, you'll find several files in the src directory called things like "l-object.pkg" -- in those are the list of functions you can call. They are documented in the actual .c files.

Thanks for the info.
I'll tinker around and see what I can do.
