Allow stealing of multiple items at once

lefreut

This tweak will allow thief to attempt to steal multiple items at once in shops. It should work for BG1EE, SoD and BG2EE.



First, search "name 'STORE_BUYSELL'" and before the menu section (before the `), add this function:
function canSteal() local nb = 0 for _, v in pairs(store.storeItems) do if v.highlight == 1 then nb = nb + 1 end end return nb > 0 and nb + #store.groupItems <= 16 end

Then search for the steal button (search "STEAL_BUTTON") and change the clickable and action lines with these:
clickable lua "canSteal()" action " local toSteal = {} for k, v in pairs(store.storeItems) do if v.highlight == 1 then table.insert(toSteal, v.item.name) for i=2, v.amountSelected do table.insert(toSteal, v.item.name) end storeScreen:SelectStoreItem(k - 1, false) end end for _, name in pairs(toSteal) do local steal = 0 for k, v in pairs(store.storeItems) do if v.highlight == 1 then steal = 0 break end if v.item.name == name then steal = k end end if steal == 0 then break end storeScreen:SelectStoreItem(steal - 1, true) storeScreen:OnStealItemButtonClick() end "

Excellent! Imoen is sandpapering her fingertips as we speak

Ha... you did it... and a very clever solution adding the items to a custom table like that...

I update the code in the first post to also allow stealing multiple times the same item

What a brilliant idea! I was just about to go shopping in Athkatla!

@lefreut - This is next on my list. May I add it to EEUITweaks?

lefreut

@AncientCowboy, yes you can

Thanks!

That adds utility when a thief can do that instead of stealing only 1 item - however shouldn´t trying to steal several items be harder than just 1? Does your tweak change anything regarding the needed pickpocket skill or the difficulty check?

lefreut

The tweak works by trying to steal items one by one so you get one difficulty check for each item.
