Charges - GregHib/void GitHub Wiki

Sometimes charges can be associated with a players' item. There are three main ways of tracking item charges:

Name	Description	Item effect
Item level	Charge is reflected in the items id and name e.g. black_mask_8.	Reducing a charge to zero replaces the item.
Player level	Charge is stored as a player variable e.g. ring_of_recoil.	No effect on the item.
Inventory level	Charge is stored per individual item in an inventories slot.	No effect on the item.

An item charge being reduced to zero can:

1. Destroy (remove) the item
2. Replaced the item e.g. chaotic_rapier_broken
3. Do nothing

[item]
id = 1234
charges = 12345         # maximum number of charges
charge_start = 50       # new item starts with 0 charges
deplete = "combat"      # what causes the item charges to degrade
degrade = "item_broken" # the item to degrade into once reached 0 charges
degrade_message = "Your item broke." # message to send after degraded
