View source for How to Add Item Latents

Adding latent effects to items is similar to [http://wiki.dspt.info/index.php/How_to_Add_Item_Mods adding item modifiers] except you check conditions before activating that mod.

== Finding the latent id ==
You can find the latent id by navigating to <code>src/map/latent_effect.h</code>. As well as finding the latent id, you'll also see a description of each latent commented in with the parameters it takes/checks in order for the latent to activate.

== Adding the latent effect to the item ==
Similar to [http://wiki.dspt.info/index.php/How_to_Add_Item_Mods adding item mods]. 
Navigate to the <code>sql</code> folder and open <code>item_latents.sql</code>, add a new SQL statement with the item's id, mod to activate if condition is met, value of the mod, latent check, latent param e.g.
<pre>
-- -------------------------------------------------------
-- Example Item
-- -------------------------------------------------------
INSERT INTO `item_latents` VALUES(ItemId, modId, modValue, latentId, latentParam);
</pre>

If you can't find the latent id in latent_effect.h, it probably isn't coded. Feel free to bug me (demolish) about it in our irc channel and i'll probably code them eventually.
