Spawing a custom letter into inventory

[TheStoryteller01]

So far I can manage to spawn a stock letter into a hero's inventory

Code: Select all

function getlitem()
	if party.party:getChampion(1):getEnabled() then
   party.party:getChampion(1):insertItem(32,spawn("letter").item)
   end
end

but I can't incorporate the custom text. I tried

Code: Select all

setScrollText("Test")

but I can't get the syntax right

Any help would be appreciated.

Here is a sample script_entity that will give you an example of what you want to do. Note, in this case, I have done it in a delayedCall because the party's inventory seems to be wiped (reloaded) after the script_entities are loaded, but as long as you run "doIt" after the game has started (or probably even in the real game), it doesn't need to be delayed.

Code: Select all

function doIt()
	if party.party:getChampion(1):getEnabled() then
		local letter = spawn("letter");
		letter.scrollitem:setScrollText("TEST");
		party.party:getChampion(1):insertItem(32, letter.item);
	end
end

delayedCall("test", 0.01, "doIt");

It works perfectly, thank you!

Actually I run it triggered from a floor trigger as the second script in a row. The first one cleans the inventory and adds starting equipment and so far the whole setup works with or without the delay.
