PP Scripter Question

[StrayRogue]

Can you create more than one script using the PP custom scripter for a single item?

Could I, for example, spend 10k of my points on a sword to make it cooler than Sorrow?

...as you can't script eighty seven thousand different spells into your sword, probably not. From what I recall of the last conversation with a GM, though, you can custom script several times on the same weapon (just not more than once for any given verb).

[StrayRogue]

Sorrow's power is vastly overated.

There's like a grand total of 12ish different verb traps you can add to any one item. +/-2 if open/close is applicable. You can't give it magical/sentient powers or anything either but otherwise you could have a pretty rocking item.

Well I always wanted to use the ventriloquist puppet speaking script added to an item, but Khal always shot it down. Lets see if they do it now...

[Kitsun]

Er, that isn't quite how the scripting works. You can't choose an old, specific, known script and tack it onto an item with the prem scripter. You pick a verb trap and get to design the action that happens when you use it.

[StrayRogue]

I know, I mean rather steal the basic mechanics of another script and modify it to be used on something else.

The problem is, its a static verb trap...

rub 1st person - it shows you this
rub 3rd person - it shows the room this

Is nothing you can add or do it it, like you couldn't do point...

point random - you spin your dagger around your fingers and it ends up pointing at <randomperson>.

A custom verb trap for PPs would be awesome, but there isn't enough CE coders or QCers available, and even with the new class, attrition and other priorities kick in.

Nothing to stop you from stacking as many verbs as you want other than points, and seeing how leniant they will be on semi-magical effects (but lets face it, I was pretty liberal on that...)
