A_DropItem

Actor A_DropItem (class<Actor> item [, int dropamount [, int chance]])

Usage

The calling actor drops the specified item. This works in a similar way to the DropItem actor property.

Parameters

• item: The item to drop. This can be any valid actor class, not just inventory.
• dropamount: The inventory amount the dropped item contains. This is only meaningful with actors inheriting from the Inventory class. If dropamount is greater than 0, the amount of inventory gained from picking up the item equals exactly to that number. Otherwise, the amount gotten is the same as the amount defined by the item itself, except for ammo items, which in this case, the amount is determined by the current skill level's DropAmmoFactor. Default is -1.
• chance: The probability of the drop. The item is never dropped if this is -1 or less, while it is always dropped if this is 255 or greater. Default is 256.

Return value

Returns a pointer to item if it was dropped successfully, otherwise it returns null.
