Reagents Spawn System

Scatters gatherable "lost reagent" piles across grasslands so players can forage spell reagents in the wild. Source: UOD - System Reagents Spawn.scp.

How it works

Spawner — i_chest_reagent_system maintains a target population of reagent piles (MORE=250):

• Each tick, if i_random_reagent.instances already exceeds the target, it waits 60s.

• Otherwise it rolls a random map coordinate and only spawns if the tile is t_grass. It rejects spots inside a housing region (r_housing) or near a tree (isneartype t_tree).

• On a valid spot it creates an i_random_reagent, sets a random amount {10 20}, and randomly picks one of eight reagent graphics via DORAND 8:

  nightshade, sulfur ash, garlic, ginseng, mandrake root, spider silk, black pearl, blood moss.

  The pile is named "lost <reagent name>".

• say lines ("Was grass" / "Wasn't Grass") report placement attempts for tuning/debug.

The pile — i_random_reagent is a no-move, decaying item with a 1-hour timer. Double-clicking it (from within 3 tiles) gives the player <amount> of the corresponding reagent (serv.newitem <dispid>,<amount>) and removes the pile.

Commands / player-facing usage

No .commands. Players gather by double-clicking a "lost <reagent>" pile they find in the world (must be within 3 tiles).

Key definitions

Note: Uses the same grass/housing/tree placement checks as the treasure-chest and reagent spawners; only spawns on open grassland.
