DELETE BACKPACK on death

[MrSamuelAdams]

I love the delete all setting, but sometimes it's a bit extreme. How can I go about making a mod to delete backpack on death but KEEP your toolbelt on death. 

 

Thank you!

Isn't this already an option?

That setting drops backpack on death.  I believe OP wants tool belt to stay but everything in backpack gets deleted

Ah, I misread. I think you could make a game event that removes items from the backpack on death easy enough. Maybe something like:

 

<action_sequence name="clear_backpack">
	<property name="action_type" value="Game" />

		<action class="RemoveItems">
			<property name="items_location" value="Backpack" />
		</action>

</action_sequence>

Just add a small effect_group to something like buffStatusCheck01 with a CallGameEvent trigger when you die. Totally untested but seems like it should work.

Yeah, so i'm newer to trying to mod. Is something like you made I could make as a XML config and just place into the mods folder? Sorry for the noob question. 😕

Yes, though you need to use xpath for it to change the code.  Append would work in this situation
