Difference between pages "File:Build Task.png" and "Overdrink"

Function Syntax

boolean overdrink( int qty, item consume )

• qty: Quantity of item to drink
• consume: Item to drink

boolean overdrink( item consume, int? qty = 1 )

Attempts to drink a given number of item(s), suppressing overdrinking warnings.

• consume: Item to drink
• qty: Quantity of item to drink

Attempts to drink qty amount of item consume. Returns true for drinkable items and false for others. (The return value does not reflect whether or not the items were actually consumed.)

Using this command, rather than drink(), suppresses warning dialogs for overdrinking and drinking without Ode to Booze.

The second form (item, quantity) was added in r19548.

Code Samples

This will drink 1 Mae West without Ode without a warning if you are unable to get Ode.

if ( !have_skill( $skill[ The Ode to Booze ] ) && !can_interact() )
{
   // Make sure we are not over drinking with the Mea West
   if ( inebriety_limit() >= my_inebriety() + 4 ) {
      print( "You don't have Ode and can't get it, drinking Mae West anyways." );
      overdrink( 1, $item[ Mae West ] ); // Overdrink Prevents Ode Warning
   }
   else
   {
      print( "You do not have enough inebriety left to prevent overdrunkeness" );
   }
}
else
{
   print( "You should cast or acquire the Ode Buff before drinking." );
}

Beware: Since it suppresses the overdrink warning, it is wise to do checks to assure you don't accidentally overdrink when using it to prevent the Ode Warning.

CLI Equivalent
