i want to check the player's inventory, to find out if he has a specific item and trigger action

[excon]

  player:getInventory

if Base.BeerBottle == true 

do 

player:getInventory():AddItem("Base.BeerBottleEmpty")

 

 

 

basically i need to check what item the player has in the inventory or uses to start a recipe and then add the empty version of those items 

back into his inventory 

 

what syntax is the txt files in is that also lua ?

TY !

You can loop through the items within the OnCreate function.

 

Something like:

 

function MakeTheThing(items, result, player)

    for i=0, items:getSize()-1, do

        local item = items:get(i)

        --do something with item

    end

end

 

item:getReplaceOnUse() will give you the "BeerEmpty" for BeerBottle items (I assume, not tested it).

[excon]

for i=0, items:size()-1 do
        local item = items:get(i)
        local itemDisplayName = item:getDisplayName()
        local itemName = item:getName()
    
    	-- Is "IGUI_WorkItem1" the "itemDisplayName" for the "item" at items:get(i)?
        if itemDisplayName == getText("IGUI_WorkItem1") then
            WorkItemName = itemDisplayName   -- Store item display name into WorkItemName
        end
        
    	-- Is "IGUI_WorkItem1" the "itemName" for the "item" at items:get(i)?
    	if itemName == getText("IGUI_WorkItem1") then
            WorkItemName = itemName   -- Store item name into WorkItemName
        end
    
    end

 

this allows for two ways to loop through the items used to trigger 

with your example i was able to search better

function Recipe.OnCreate.DoubbleFilledReturn(items, result, player)

  bottleReturn = ZombRand(1,4);

for i=0, items:size()-1 do
        local item = items:get(i)
        local itemDisplayName = item:getDisplayName()
        local itemName = item:getName()
    
       --get Display name and return bottle
        if itemDisplayName == getText("WhiskeyBottle filled with Spirit") then

            WorkItemName = itemDisplayName
            returnMe = Base.WhiskeyEmpty 
            takeMe  = WhiskeyRefill
          

              --player:getInventory():AddItem("Base.WhiskeyEmpty")
              --player:getInventory():Remove("WhiskeyRefill")
         
         end

    if bottleReturn==1 then
               player:getInventory():AddItem("returnMe")
                player:getInventory():AddItem("returnMe")
                player:getInventory():AddItem("returnMe")
                 player:getInventory():Remove("takeMe")
                 player:getInventory():Remove("takeMe")
                 player:getInventory():Remove("takeMe")
    

         elseif bottleReturn==2 then
            player:getInventory():AddItem("returnMe")
                player:getInventory():AddItem("returnMe")
                player:getInventory():AddItem("returnMe")
                 player:getInventory():Remove("takeMe")
                 player:getInventory():Remove("takeMe")
                 player:getInventory():Remove("takeMe")
                

          elseif bottleReturn==3 then
        
                   player:getInventory():AddItem("returnMe")
                player:getInventory():AddItem("returnMe")
                --player:getInventory():AddItem("returnMe")
                player:getInventory():AddItem("Base.brokenglass_1_0")

                 player:getInventory():Remove("takeMe")
                 player:getInventory():Remove("takeMe")
                 player:getInventory():Remove("takeMe")

                 

      end

 end 

   

end

 

 

 

 

so i have it that far 

3 bottles or refill go in 

if refill is whiskey 

remove refill full

add refill emtpy

 

but the bottom part is my issue where i basically add a randomization and chance to receive a broken glass instead of the item

im sure its some dumb sytanx error

[excon]

biggest issue is how do i set the var takeMe or returnMe so i can point to the item as variable in here player:getInventory():AddItem("returnMe") 

they are global so i do not get why they do not get fetched

function Recipe.OnCreate.DoubbleFilledReturn(items, result, player)
        bottleChance = ZombRand(1,4)
      
     

-- for every item that activates via the recipe the loop goes
      for i=0, items:size()-1 do
         local item = items:get(i)
         local itemDisplayName = item:getDisplayName()
         local itemName = item:getName()

    
 -- whiskey 
         if itemDisplayName == getText("Whiskey Bottle filled with Spirit") then

              --WorkItemName = itemDisplayName
               player:getInventory():Remove("WhiskeyRefill")
                
                if bottleChance== 1 then
         player:getInventory():AddItem("Base.brokenglass_1_0")
                 bottleChance = 2
                
                elseif bottleChance == 2 then
                 player:getInventory():AddItem("Base.WhiskeyEmpty")
              
                elseif bottleChance == 3 then
                 player:getInventory():AddItem("Base.WhiskeyEmpty")
             

         end
         end

--same pattern for all other drinks below

 

end

 

 

 

this is how i solved it - not pretty cause i need the same block for all drink/refills and id rather just fork out the variable  and use the creator as prototype.

I also have the issue that i cannot get    elseif bottleChance > 1 then   to work any help is apprciated on this and the get item via variable name issue, 

 

TY!
ps local itemName = item:getName() did nothing for me ?
