A way to dupe turrets by selling them (with fix)

[Rinart73]

If you have two identical turrets, you can mark them as trash and sell to the Equipment Dock via "Sell Trash" button.

Then after you'll buy them back, there will be a turret with -1 amount and you will be able to buy it again and again..

 

This happens because we're using the same "SellableInventoryItem" table for all these items. So when player buys 1 back, we get amount = 0. And when player buys the second back, we get -1.

 

How to Fix

"data\scripts\lib\shop.lua" - function 'Shop:buyTrashFromPlayer()', line ~727.

Replace this:

        local item = SellableInventoryItem(iitem, index, buyer)
        item.amount = 1

        for i = 1, slotItem.amount do

with this:

        local item

        for i = 1, slotItem.amount do
            item = SellableInventoryItem(iitem, index, buyer)
            item.amount = 1

Oh, a nice idea would be ability to bulk buy equipment. Especially Torpedoes.

I've seen Avorion crash if you mash the buy button too fast.
