I'm looking for a replacement magic book. That makes the magic explode when it dies instead of the usual fire effect.

lweapon script magicbookworstitem{
	void run(int book_id = 32){
		if (player->Item[book_id] == -1){
			quit(); //Do nothing we don't got a book!
		}
		if (this->DeadState == 0){ //is the weapon about to die?
			lweapon boom = Create->LWeapon(LW_BOMBBLAST)
			boom->x = this->x
			boom->y = this->y
		}
	}
}

I tried writing it myself. but i get an error

 

[Error] syntax error, unexpected LINK [scripts\ExplosiveWand.zs Line 3 Column 13 'player']

[Error] ZQ_BUFFER Line 2 @ Columns 1-27 - Error P001: Included file 'scripts\ExplosiveWand.zs' encountered an error.

"player" should be "Player".

I got my first script to compile. I attached it to the weapon slot for the wand and magicbook (I'm not sure which one is correct) and the magic isn't exploding...

//causes magic to explode on death.
lweapon script magicbookworstitem{
	void run(int book_id = 32){
		if (Player->Item[book_id] == -1){
			Quit();
		}
		lweapon boom = Screen->CreateLWeapon(LW_BOMBBLAST);
		boom->X = this->X;
		boom->Y = this->Y;
	}
}

You probably want `unless(Player->Item[book_id])` instead of `if(Player->Item[book_id] == -1)`.

Also, uh, booleans generally will only be `true` or `false`, never `-1`.

Works now thanks for your help again you two.

My only missgiving is when it hits mirrors it explodes. Which is find in it's own way since the magic duplicated also explodes.
