Hello,

i have just a small question regarding Serv.Itemdef

Is there a command to get the Color (or another attribute) that one Item gets after create?

I want to check if an Item was altered, after it has been created.

Lets say i have a Rose-Heater. @create the Heater normally gets the color (color=color_o_rose). Now i want to check if it still has this defined color (or another attribut) or if it was changed by a gm or by anything else.

I tried it with something like :

if (<serv.itemdef.(argo.id).color> = <argo.color>)

but this didn't work, i assume because of sphere checking the status before @create

Of course i could use other checks using defnames or creating a dummy-item, but this is not a fine way

There isn't a color field in a ITEMDEF definition, but it's only used as item property.

you have to create the item too via script and then check the color like
serv.newitem=i_your_item
local.color=<new.color>

I see,

so the only way would be to use a workaround like this ?

Example:
serv.newitem <serv.itemdef.<argo.id>>
local.color= <new.color>
new.remove
if !(<local.color> = <argo.color>)
src.sysmessage Abort: Item was manipulated
return 1
endif

EDIT ; Phoenix was first i should write faster

You can add a permanent TAG to any ITEMDEF and reference that tag in your script... the ITEMDEF might looks like this:
