there is 3 things :
loot table
loot drop
items
each npc have 1 loot table
a loot table have one or several loot drops
a loot table have also platinums and other coins
each loot drop can have one or several items in it
loot drops can be shared between npcs but not loot tables whom are unique to each npc
loot drops are what i called "sets" in looteditor
sets have 2 attributes :
- chance :
it's the chance that something drops from this set
- multiplier :
it's the maximum number of items that the set can drop
example : 100% chance, 2 multiplier
the set have 100 % chance to drop 2 items from the set
which items depends of the chance associated with each item
example 2 : 50% chance, 3 multiplier
the set have 50% chance to drop 3 items from the set
it means it can drop 0, 1, 2, or 3 items, but the most often you will have 1 or 2 items
items have 1 attribute :
- chance :
it's the chance that this specific item drops compared to other items of the same set
total cumulated chance of all the items of a set must be equal to 100% else some items won't never drop
example :
here is a set where there are 3 items :
bone chips 30%
cloth veil 50%
blade of carnage 20%
total 100 %
cloth veil will drop the most often
bone chips in second
and blade of carnage will be rarer
example 2 :
here is a set with 2 items :
bone chips 100%
cloth veil 50%
total 150%
here's bone chips will always drop because they are the 1rst in the list and have 100% chance to drop
cloth veil won't never drop
so you should always do the total
if the total is >100% something won't never drop =)
if it is <100% it might works but the result is uncertain
so if you are in the case you want that your npc drops always 2 bone chips, sometimes he drops a cloth veil and always a blade of carnage or a fine steel long sword, blade of carnage rare drop, but you want that it's possible that the npcs drops 2 bone chips the cloth veil and the blade of carnage at the same time :
you should make 3 sets :
one for the bone chips :
bone chips set : chance 100% multiplier 2
1 item :
bone chips : chance 100
one for the cloth veil :
cloth veil set : chance 30% mutliplier 1
1 item :
cloth veil : chance 100
1 for the blade of carnage and fine steel long sword :
weapons set : chance 100% multiplier 1
2 items :
blade of carnage : 20%
fine steel long sword : 80%
well =) you see it's easy =)
good luck =)
