Restrict Item to a Custom Kit

Greener

Would it be possible to restrict an item to a custom kit? As each time a custom kit is installed it takes a new kit number based on what else is already installed...thus there is no way to guarantee that the custom kit will be kit number 43 for example.

Any idea's of a work around?

COPY ~%MOD_FOLDER%/item/xxxx.itm~ ~override~
LPF ADD_ITEM_EQEFFECT
INT_VAR
opcode = 319
target = 1
timing = 2
parameter1 = (IDS_OF_SYMBOL (~kit~ ~C0SADEPT~))
parameter2 = 9
power = 1
special = RESOLVE_STR_REF (~Shadow Adept~)
END

Doesn't 319 restrict items from the kit?

I.e. It acts as unusability.

No. A power value of 0 affects unusability.

In that case, any other suggestions?

I’ve used 319 for several of my mods and it works...

I'll try it out, just to clarify if my kit name was ~custom~ would I use the following? I'm a little unclear regarding parameter1

COPY ~%MOD_FOLDER%/item/xxxx.itm~ ~override~
LPF ADD_ITEM_EQEFFECT
INT_VAR
opcode = 319
target = 1
timing = 2
parameter1 = (IDS_OF_SYMBOL (~custom~ ~custom~))
parameter2 = 9
power = 1
special = RESOLVE_STR_REF (~custom~)
END

For IDS_OF_SYMBOL, the first entry has to be ~kit~ and the second is whatever reference name the kit is. RESOLVE_STR_REF affects the text that appears in the description so you get an actual kit name instead of “C0SADEPT” or whatever.

You can also restrict a bunch of items in the same code.

Take a look at the files from my I Hate Undead Kitpack and you'll be able to see a lot of those restrictions (especially for the Burial Defender and Undead Predator) all of them a generous courtesy from my teachers @Gwendolyne and @kjeron .

If I remember correctly, @subtledoctor , an item with 2 "usable by" effects is unusable by both unfortunately... but I could be wrong, it has been a long time since I used it.

This is because it's not really "usable by".
It's two modes are:
Not usable by (Parameter1|Parameter2) match.
Not usable by (Parameter1|Parameter2) mismatch.

And the mode is set by the "power" value?

Yes
0 power = not usable by match
1 power = not usable by mismatch
All other values are the same as zero.
