Construction

Use * to display the construction screen.

Both items in your inventory and all items in 2 square radius are available as construction tools and components. If items needed can be found in both your inventory and on the ground, you will be prompted as to which items you want to use in your crafting.

A completed construction trains character's construction skill by [construction difficulty] * 10 points (or 10 points for a zero difficulty).

Construction.cpp

The syntax is quite simple:

CONSTRUCT("Build Wall", 2, &construct::able_empty, &construct::done_nothing);
 STAGE(t_wall_half, 10);
  TOOL(itm_hammer, itm_hatchet, itm_nailgun, NULL);
  COMP(itm_2x4, 10, NULL);
  COMP(itm_nail, 20, NULL);
 STAGE(t_wall_wood, 10);
  TOOL(itm_hammer, itm_hatchet, itm_nailgun, NULL);
  COMP(itm_2x4, 10, NULL);
  COMP(itm_nail, 20, NULL);

In CONSTRUCT you define name as it appears in the menu (30 characters or less), difficulty (what level of construction skill that requires), condition- and post-construction-functions (see construction.h for options, and later in construction.cpp for definitions).

In STAGE you define what map tile will be placed there (see mapdata.h) and time that it takes to finish this stage (in minutes, 10 turns = 1 minute)

In TOOL you define what tools are needed and if it should be used up. Tools are always will be kept, because tools with charges are not set in constructions yet.

Multiply items in one TOOL can substitute each other, if you want a recipe to need two tools at a time you need a second TOOL line.

In COMP you define which and how much components the recipe uses, if you want a recipe to need two different components at a time you need a second COMP line.

TOOL and COMP both have to end in ,NULL);
