7th Oct 2011, 01:01 AM	Making Object Portable #1
lorenrose1013 Original Poster Instructor Join Date: Mar 2011 Posts: 513 Thanks: 163 in 1 Posts 3 Achievements	I'm trying to make a few objects portable but I'm not sure which values to change in S3OC or the OBJD. I just want to make it so I can drag it into the inventory, which I think is possible. Thanks in advance for any help!

If you're using s3pe, click the Grid button and set "LiveDraggingEnabled" (0x00010000) to true. If you're using s3oc, just open the object and tick the "LiveDraggingEnabled" checkbox.

I ran into the same thing when I was making the pillbottle for the ts3 pharmacy. It was cloned from the stack o'mags.

"ItemComponent" allows for the object to be placed in an inventory. The confusion is understandable, considering the names.

Open it in MS visual studio and add the ItemComponent, making sure to properly initialize it in the object's OnStartup method. Okay, I just dl'ed and looked at the item in question. It doesn't have an s3sa resource, just uses the wa script Sims3.Gameplay.Objects.TombObjects.TreasureChestEgypt, which I'm guessing is a largish object that can't be dragged into a sim's inventory. I think what you need to do in order to achieve what you're after is to add a new script to the object, because if you override the original script it would affect all objects that use that script, not just yours.

Follow the instructions in this tutorial: Tutorial:Sims_3_Object_Modding^wiki and create a script class for the object.

Your script will look something like this:

Code:

namespace LorenRose1013
{
    class TreasureChest : TreasureChestEgypt
    {
        public override void OnStartup()
        {
            base.AddComponent<ItemComponent>(new object[] { ItemComponent.SimInventoryItem });
            base.OnStartup();
        }
    }
}

Note that if you want the interactions to work from the Sim's inventory, you would have to rewrite them.

I second this.

I have been desperately needing something like this for a while.

Also, I'm happy that you managed to get it to work.

I think she is going to post them on her website, (with due credit to Sims MX for the code), but if you really want it this second you can pm me. They are all package files, not sims3packs, but you won't get two instances of the object if yo already had the portable one. (I plan on making other objects portable, and I know exactly how to edit the script to do so, so if you have a request, you can also pm me)
