Question : Getting the @create-Color via Itemdef - Shidhun - 03-01-2013 06:04 PM
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:
Code:
[ITEMDEF 02db]
//"One of the keys to access Dreadhorn.
// Found on the ground in Twisted Weald, this item has a timed life span."
DEFNAME=i_blighted_cotton
NAME=blighted cotton
TYPE=t_normal
VALUE=100
WEIGHT=1.0
CATEGORY=Quest
SUBSECTION=Twisted Weald
DESCRIPTION=Blighted Cotton
TAG.TrueColor=05a3
TEVENTS=e_timed_key
ON=@Create
COLOR=<TAG.TrueColor>
