Script not working with string variable

[Legacy_Fester Pot]

               

I've become quite annoyed at this.


The following works at the end of a script, destroying the object referenced:

if(GetFirstItemInInventory(OBJECT_SELF)==OBJECT_INVALID)
DestroyObject(GetObjectByTag("250B6_WEAPON1"),0.0);

So, as to avoid creating multiple scripts to do the same thing for multiple objects, I moved the TAG referenced above to a string variable on the object that runs the script line noted above.

sString string 250B6_WEAPON1

I modified the script line above to the following:

string sItem = GetLocalString(OBJECT_SELF, "sString");
object oContainer = GetNearestObjectByTag(sItem);
    
if(GetFirstItemInInventory(OBJECT_SELF)==OBJECT_INVALID)
DestroyObject(oContainer,0.0);

The object in question is no longer destroyed.


Making it DestroyObject(GetObjectByTag("250B6_WEAPON1"),0.0); works.


Having it DestroyObject(oContainer,0.0); does not work.

Is the object you're trying to destroy an inventory item?  If it's being carried by the player or in another object's inventory, you can't use GetNearestObjectByTag for it.
