Howdy,
   Can you take that solution to the "Inventory Items Combining" post (June 08) one step further for me?  I have a boot, a screwdriver and battery defined in the item.items file and nicely placed in the inventory with their scripts in place.  Let's say I want to use the screwdriver on the boot (pretend the boot has a battery pack inside) and then have the battery (extracted) now show up in the inventory...How can I code that?  So far I've placed in the "boot" script file some lines like this:

on "screwdriver"
{

Hmm, providing the code above is attached to the "boot" object, it *should* work.
Make sure the script is attached correctly and that the screwdriver item has a NAME property defined in the items file.

...what could it be?  The checklist goes:
1)  I've got the items listed/defined in the items.items file (for each item I had to start with a new:
ITEM
{...  
 heading for each item I wanted to definition)
2)  The items each have their own scripts for how to behave in the inventory window (boot.bmp & boot_h.bmp files & stuff)
3)  The "boot" script has the "on "screwdriver"" code in it.
Anything obviously missing?  Let me know. I'm going to double-check my work.
 Thanks.

The items definition file should contain sections like these:

Code: [Select]

ITEM
{
   CURSOR_COMBINED = TRUE
   CAPTION = "Boot"
   NAME = "boot"
   IMAGE = "items\boot.bmp"
   CURSOR = "items\boot.bmp"
   CURSOR_HOVER = "items\boot_h.bmp"
   SCRIPT = "items\boot.script"
}

ITEM
{
   CURSOR_COMBINED = TRUE
   CAPTION = "Screwdriver"
   NAME = "screwdriver"
   IMAGE = "items\scrw.bmp"
   CURSOR = "items\scrw.bmp"
   CURSOR_HOVER = "items\scrw_h.bmp"
   SCRIPT = "items\scrw.script"
}


And then the "items\boot.script" should contain the code you wrote above. One possibility is that you're referencing a wrong script (wrong path). In that case, a missing file warning would be listed in wme.log.
I can't think of anything else at the moment.

Excellent!  It worked!  Turns out I did have a couple of things wrong with the name of the items and a path.  Progress!  Now on to the next mountain!
