I am making a healthkit for my game and i am having trouble making it a item. Everytime i look for my healthkit in the folders its always in the static shapes and o want it to be in the items folder and tryed this code for it.
datablock ItemData(healthkit)
{
category = "Items";
shapeFile = "~/data/shapes/healthkit/healthkit.dts";
mass = 1;
friction = 1;
elasticity = 0.3;
// Dynamic properties defined by the scripts
pickupName = "a health kit";
repairAmount = 50;
};
function HealthKit::onCollision(%this,%obj,%col)
{
// Apply some health to whoever uses it, the health kit is only
// used if the user is currently damaged.
if (%col.healthkit)
applyRepair(%this, repairAmount);
}
};
datablock ItemData(healthkit)
{
category = "Items";
shapeFile = "~/data/shapes/healthkit/healthkit.dts";
mass = 1;
friction = 1;
elasticity = 0.3;
// Dynamic properties defined by the scripts
pickupName = "a health kit";
repairAmount = 50;
};
function HealthKit::onCollision(%this,%obj,%col)

applyRepair(%this, repairAmount);
}
};

Did you properly do exec("healthkit.cs"); (or whatever the script file's name is) during initialization?

I got it to finally work but another problem is making it rotate and give me health and respawn in the script.

Items also have a rotate property you can set. Just say rotate = true; when you create the item.

Items have a respawn function defined in script if you look in item.cs. You can call it in your pickup function (as well as increment your health). Items also have a rotate property you can set. Just say rotate = true; when you create the item.
