Fishing Net (catches multiple fish) 1

Tukaram submitted a new resource:

Fishing Net (catches multiple fish) - Fishing net that catches multiple fish

This fishing net system is blatantly stolen... borrowed... from Unleashed. He submitted a Lobster trap to ServUO on 18MAY2015. Unleashed has a great Lobster Trap and I simply modified it to look like a net, was not stackable, and has more types of fish drops. Mainly I wanted multiple fish per toss (a net is big, right?). It worked fine when stackable but the net would not show the count, the lobster traps do. So I made them unstackable, to avoid confusion.

I am using the list of fish from...

Tukaram, you are a freaking genius. I don't know why I have never thought of this lol.

I really can't take credit for the scripting - just the editing

I found a net script and it only caught one fish at a time, like a fishing pole... Nets are are bigger... so it should catch more. The lobster trap script was the key (Shazzy pointed me in the right direction). I just plagiarized it ha ha I tried to get the first net to give multiple fish, but I could not get it to use the harvest system more than once per use. I think it needs work still. If you use it for a while you end up with too many fishing boots, and pond deeds... maybe they should be scaled back. A 1 in 20 chance is too often. Maybe I can make it 1 in 20 - then put a random chance... Hmmm.....

Can we nest a 'switch utility random' inside another switch utility random..... ~Edit~ Yes, you can... let me clean this up a bit and release an improvement.

Here is what I changed on the loot. I was not sure if we can nest the random chances (we can). Now there is a 1 in 20 chance on loot packs. Then, in like 4 cases, there is a 1 in 3 of getting something special (currently Boots, MIB, Blackhearts Pole, and a Pond Deed). You can easily edit the items. Also, you can see how to add or remove cases to increase/decrease the rate. There may be a neater way to do it... but this works.

  switch (Utility.Random(20))
  {
  case 0: from.AddToBackpack(new EmptyFishingNet());
  from.SendMessage("There is nothing left in the net to remove.");
  this.Delete();break;
  case 1:
  from.AddToBackpack(new EmptyFishingNet());
  from.AddToBackpack(new Fish(Utility.Random(1, 2)));
  from.AddToBackpack(new SpringDragonfish());
  from.SendMessage("You remove fish from the net and put it in your pack.");
  this.Delete(); break;
  case 2:
  switch (Utility.Random(3))
  {
  case 0: from.AddToBackpack(new EmptyFishingNet());
  from.SendMessage("There is nothing left in the net to remove.");
  this.Delete(); break;
  case 1: from.AddToBackpack(new MessageInABottle());
  from.SendMessage("You remove an MIB from the net and put it in your pack.");
  this.Delete(); break;
  case 2:
  from.AddToBackpack(new EmptyFishingNet());
  from.AddToBackpack(new Fish(Utility.Random(1, 2)));
  from.SendMessage("You remove fish from the net and put it in your pack.");
  this.Delete(); break;
  }
  break;

Tukaram updated Fishing Net (catches multiple fish) with a new update entry:

Updated to give less chance of MIB, pond deed etc

I updated the loot to nest a random chance so it should give less of the 'special' items. It is very easy to adjust as you see fit for your needs.
