Item drops array

Function Syntax

record [int] item_drops_array()

record [int] item_drops_array(monster m )

Returns an array of records with three fields:

record {
   item drop;
   int rate;
   string type;
}

The 'type' field has these currently possible values:

• "" - normal item drop, base drop rate in the 'rate' field.
• "0" - no drop rate information available, 'rate' will be zero.
• "n" - not pickpocketable, but otherwise drops according to 'rate'.
• "c" - conditional drop.
• "p" - pickpocket-only. Currently 'rate' will always be zero.
• "b" - bounty item, 'rate' is meaningless.

Since this is the first function to return a record, it cannot be stored to a variable, and thus the only way to access the data is by iterating over the elements in the array.

Code Samples

Prints all information Mafia has regarding the item drops of a certain monster.

void drops(monster mob){
   print("Monster: " + mob);
   foreach index, rec in item_drops_array(mob) 
      print("item: "+rec.drop+", drop rate: "+rec.rate+", type: "+rec.type);
}
