Random Loot question

[sheivan]

If I wanted to make monsters drop randomly one of 50 items, would there be an easier way than doing


{
base.OnDeath( c );

if ( Utility.RandomDouble() < 0.95 )
c.DropItem( new EmberStaff() );

if ( Utility.RandomDouble() < 0.55 )
c.DropItem( new DeathsHead() );

}


etc..
?

Shall all have the same chance of being dropped?

You can do something like this.

First add

        private static readonly Type[] rewards = new Type[]
        {
            typeof(EmberStaff), typeof(DeathsHead), typeof(StaffOfTheMagi)
        };

inside your code.

Then where you want to drop the item, you can simply do.

            c.DropItem(Activator.CreateInstance(rewards[Utility.Random(rewards.Length)]) as Item);

This way you will get 1 random Item of the types you defined in the rewards array
