Looking for a script to identify an item when put into a container.

Greetings,

Anyone have a script like this they would be willing to share? I am guessing it would need to check first if the item(s) is(are) identified, and if not ID it(them).

               Everything nwnscript is event based.
So you have identified that the event / trigger you want is when an item is added to a container.

This event is specifically referred to as the OnDisturbed event of a container.
 

// put this OnDisturbed of a container.
void main()
{
     object oItem=GetInventoryDisturbItem();
     object oPC=GetLastDisturbed();
     int nType=GetInventoryDisturbType();
 
     switch (nType)
     {
     case INVENTORY_DISTURB_TYPE_ADDED:
            //Put your identify code here
            SetIdentified(oItem,TRUE);
           //End of Identify code
        break;
     case INVENTORY_DISTURB_TYPE_REMOVED:

        break;
     case INVENTORY_DISTURB_TYPE_STOLEN:
 
        
         break;
    }
}

So there is 3 main ways inventories can be disturbed.
items added, removed, or stolen.
I've assumed you wanted this to fire when items are added- as seen above.

Because identification is a single routine/function call, I wouldn't really worry about the checking to see if the item is identified already or not.
If its already identified, is it really so bad that we re-identify it?

nwnlexicon might be slightly out dated, but its still your friend.
I recommend it for reference.
Even people who are script guru's refer to it, as the nwnscript language is much to large for anyone person to remember it all.

Thank you very much Baaelos. I will give this a try.

This worked perfectly. TYVM Baaleos. I recommend to anyone using omega forges to add this to the ondisturbed event.

               For a fee, obviously

Umm... what?

 

I asked the community to help with an issue, which I didn't elaborate on. Baaleos presented a solution which I verified as working, and I gave a heads up to anyone else using the system we found could benefit from this.

 

If you want my version of the script I would love to post it if these damn forums would allow me to paste (It's nothing special, I just added the code Baaleos provided to dm_forge_ondist).

P.S. how the hell do you paste things on these boards anyways? I tried more reply options, paste, paste simple text, paste from word. Nothing works...

               If you mean the code tags it's

The words code inside square brackets


[ code].  And [/code ]


Hope that displayed correctly

               Regarding the "fee", I simply meant that omega forge in-game normally requires the player to pay for the upgrade, so you'd expect them to pay extra for identification. No RL implication intended!

Regarding "paste", are you using IE? For a long time, I could't get the editor to work on this site (or neverwintervault.org, for that matter) without reverting to plain text and bbcode. Then I read that IE is massively incompatible with editors like Drupal. I've switched to Firefox, no more problems. I hear that just about any browser except IE will work.

P.S. Sometimes you have to use CTRL C / X  / V to copy / cut / paste these sites. Seems like a conspiracy to regress to the 1970s...    Scary for me, as CTRL C was also the code for crashing programs on many systems...

#include "dm_forge_config"

void main()

{

    object oItemPlot = GetLastDisturbed();

    object oPC = GetLastUsedBy();

    if(!PLOT_UNFORGEABLE) return;

    if(GetPlotFlag(oItemPlot))

    {

        CopyItem(oItemPlot,oPC,TRUE);

        DestroyObject(oItemPlot,0.5);

        SendMessageToPC(oPC,"You cannot forge that item");

    }

//ID item

{

object oItem=GetInventoryDisturbItem();

     object oPC=GetLastDisturbed();

     int nType=GetInventoryDisturbType();

     switch (nType)

     {

     case INVENTORY_DISTURB_TYPE_ADDED:

            //Put your identify code here

            SetIdentified(oItem,TRUE);

           //End of Identify code

        break;

     case INVENTORY_DISTURB_TYPE_REMOVED:

        break;

     case INVENTORY_DISTURB_TYPE_STOLEN:

         break;

    }

}

}

 

 

I was using IE11. Firefox seems to handle it no problems. Thanks much. That's the code we used for the omega forge ondisturbed event.
