Name
set_pile_types - The name of different sized piles.
Syntax
void set_pile_types(mixed *types);
Description
Returns an array consisting of paired numbers/names. The numbers and names refer to the name to give to the size of the pile of the medium based on how much of it is there.
The size of the array will be odd, the last element being the name to give to any larger size of pile.
Eg: ({ 50, "small", 100, "medium", 150, "large", "huge" }). This would mean that up to 50 of the things would be a small pile, up to 100 would be a medium file, up to 150 would be a large pile and anything larger would be a huge pile.
Eg: ({ 50, "small", "huge" }). This would mean anything smaller than 50 would be a small pile and anything else would be a huge pile.
Example
/* Food inherits cont_medium */
inherit "/obj/food";
void setup() {
set_name("rice");
set_long(
"Little oval shaped hard nuggets, they are made almost totally "
"of starch.\n");
/* Make it a continuous object */
set_continuous();
/* Set an alias to the medium so that it can be connected correctly */
set_medium_alias("RiceStuff");
/* How much of the stuff we have here */
set_amount(100);
/* 200 bits of rice weighs 1 weight unit */
set_weight_unit( ({ 1, 200 }) );
/* The name of a pile of them */
set_pile_name("pile");
/* The size of each of the amounts */
set_amount_types( ([ "pinch" : ({ 1, "pinches" }),
"handful" : ({ 100, "handfuls" }),
"bucket" : ({ 10000, "buckets" }) ]) );
/* The name for each of the sizes of piles */
set_pile_types(({ 400, "small", 800, "medium", 1600, "large", "huge" }) );
} /* setup() */
