Waaaaa, what a good idea for a better Drop system 
, that effect can be changed?

This bundle is marked as lacking. It fails to meet the standard requirements and may only have minor use.

Based on Zephyr Contest #14 - Unique Summoning along with ArcingLoot which I wrote in Zinc a few years back.
Uses my Recipe system and ArcingTextTag by Maker, converted to wurst by me.
Put items in the cauldron and press esc to make it it spit out a crafted item!
Wurst:
package ArcingLoot
import LinkedListModule
import TimerUtils
import Fx
constant real arc = 75 //modifies the arcing shape
constant real arcHeight = 350 //how high the arc reach at its peak
constant real travelTime = 0.9 //time it takes for the arc to reach destination
constant real convertArc = arc / 100.00 // do not touch
constant string sfx = "Objects\\InventoryItems\\TreasureChest\\treasurechest.mdl" //effect, the item chest in this case
constant real loopSpeed = 0.03 //how often the system runs its loop. Higher value equals better perfomance
constant location loc = Location(0,0)
function vec2.getZ() returns real
MoveLocation(loc, this.x, this.y)
return GetLocationZ(loc)
public class ArcingItem
use LinkedListModule
static timer t
integer id
Fx fx
angle angle
real distance
real maxDistance
real arc
real speed
effect e
vec2 pos
vec2 destination
construct(integer itemId, vec2 start, vec2 dest)
pos = start
fx = new Fx(pos, angle(0), sfx)
angle = pos.angleTo(dest)
distance = pos.distanceTo(dest)
maxDistance = distance
speed = distance / (travelTime / loopSpeed)
destination = dest
arc = distance * convertArc
id = itemId
e = fx.getDummy().addEffect("Abilities\\Spells\\NightElf\\Rejuvenation\\RejuvenationTarget.mdl", "origin")
if(t == null)
t = getTimer()
t.startPeriodic(loopSpeed, function ArcingItem.onLoop)
static function onLoop()
for instance in ArcingItem
instance.update()
function update()
pos.x = pos.x + speed * Cos(angle.radians)
pos.y = pos.y + speed * Sin(angle.radians)
distance = pos.distanceTo(destination)
let tarc = (4.00 * arc) / maxDistance
let dist = (maxDistance - distance) * (distance / maxDistance)
let z = pos.getZ()
let height = (tarc * dist) + z
fx.getDummy().setPosFly(vec3(pos.x, pos.y, height))
if(height <= 0)
e.destr()
createItem(id, pos)
destroy fx
destroy this
if ArcingItem.size == 0
t.destr()Demo
Wurst:
package demo
import ChannelAbilityPreset
import ArcingLoot
string onCraftEffect = "Abilities\\Spells\\Other\\Transmute\\GoldBottleMissile.mdl"
integer testUnit = compiletime(UNIT_ID_GEN.next())
@compiletime function generate()

Uhhh.. I should have added that to the config.
I'll try to remember to update it soon TM.

A bit of info on how to activate the Arcing Loot is appreciated. Currently, one has to figure out how many of these things are required in the test map without looking at the demo code.

Hey @Chaosy this looks pretty cool
Is this something you have some time to tidy up so I can approve it?
Feedback:

Feedback:
- This looks to be based on the old v1 standard library. Can you update it to use GitHub - wurstscript/WurstStdlib2: WurstScript Standard Library Version 2 ?
- Please use @configurable rather than adding comments indicating where constants should be edited inline
- Please use the
Objects,Abilities, andDoodadspackages, rather than string constants for asset paths

Probably not anytime soon.
I am incredibly out of touch with wurst, I don't know how to update it or what current best practices are with possibly updated stuff.

Uses the very outdated wurst standard library v1
With some minor effort this could become recommended

Simplified the demo, simplified for loop, fixed a big whoopsie with the timer. From what I can tell it works without changes with the standard lib v2.
The effect is now showing up though which might be a reforged issue possibly.
tried with both origin and chest. Could be that the path has also changed.. will look into it at some point.
TLDR, I wouldn't approve it yet but it's slightly better than before.

@Chaosy thanks for making progress on this
Here's a few minor points to consider while you iterate:
1. Can you use the Assests/Effects package to refer to constants like RejuvinationTarget?
2. Please omit the type when it can be inferred by the reader, i.e.
3. Please use UPPER_CAMEL for constants, usually
4. Please omit "extra" brackets in conditionals, i.e.
Progress looks good so far!
