ItemPropertyEnhancementPenalty

ItemPropertyEnhancementPenalty(int)

Sets an enhancement penalty ability bonus.

itemproperty ItemPropertyEnhancementPenalty(
    int nPenalty
);

Parameters

nPenalty

Amount of penalty to apply to weapon; 1 to 5 are valid.

Description

Sets item property Enhancment penalty. You need to specify the enhancement penalty, which should be a POSITIVE integer between 1 and 5 (a penalty of 1 reduces the weapon's ability by 1).

Remarks

Only weapons can have enhancement penalties.

The itemproperty commands are special constructors - they construct an itemproperty "object" which can then be applied to an item using the AddItemProperty command, much like effects need to be first constructed, then applied with ApplyEffectToObject.

It will often be a good idea to remove similar itemproperties from the item first. There's a command in the "x2_inc_itemprop" include file called IPSafeAddItemProperty which will do that for you. Check IPSafeAddItemProperty for current bug report.

The penalty can be retrieved off this type of item property using GetItemPropertyCostTableValue.

Known Bugs

Removing this itemproperty from skin and possibly other items where it cannot exist normally without 2DA edit doesn't remove the actual itemproperty effects.
