Message:	[quote=Rjak] Like I said on other posts, I know nothing about codding and scripting, so I will need full help. OK, here is my problem In the mud I play, are quests - lol, like in many others. But here you have someone who hires you to retrieve a certain item. Those items are not unique, are to be find all over the place. The items are allways the same, could be pieces of armor, misc items, even food or light. What I want is to make something that recognise the items on the ground or in mobs inventory and tells me "x - job item", or even better "x - job item for Y". Of course, I can capture the description of each item and set some triggers, but it looks like a huge task, and must be an easyest way. I realise I have to capture the description of the items when are laying on the ground, but having about 1000-1500 triggers just for this, don't look right. Let me give you an example: Is a mob, Chaste, who can hire you to retrieve: a platoon medpack, a ranger tool, an extractor, mountain ranger boots. The ranger tool, when is on the ground is "A small black tool lies on the ground." When is in a mob inventory is a ranger tool" or the mob may held it then is "<held in hand> a ranger tool". To set 3 triggers for just 1 item... and are literally hundreds... hmm I think a database or someting can be made, to hold all the items, and when I look/glance/peek at a mob or look/observe a room to see if the items there are to be found in the db. Can be? :) Thank you, Rjak PS Guys, sometimes I'm tinking... if I would know all you know about scripting, triggers and stuff, my life on any mud would be a lot easyer. :) [/quote] Message to be posted (in English, please).
