ItemContainer:isInCharacterInventory() broken?

[johndough]

I'm trying to use this to check if a container is either my player's inventory or *in* my player's inventory, but it doesn't seem to be working:

if timedAction.destContainer == getPlayer():getInventory() or timedAction.destContainer:isInCharacterInventory(getPlayer()) then

I've seen this being used plenty of times in the timed action code that comes with the game.

Try

getPlayer():getInventory():contains(destContainer)

Try

getPlayer():getInventory():contains(destContainer)

 

That wouldn't work because destContainer is of type ItemContainer and contains() expects a string or InventoryItem.

[RegularX]

Well, this:

 

if player:getInventory():contains("BigHikingBag") == false then   player:getInventory():AddItem("Base.BigHikingBag");end

Works to check for the existence of a BigHikingBag, which is also an ItemContainer. If you've created this as an item, I think the relationship goes InventoryItem with an ItemContainer var if the type is Container.

 

I mean, you're not trying to add a fridge to a backpack, right?

That function overload checks for a certain item type - I need to check if a particular ItemContainer is present.

Ah OK.  I gotya now.  Does:

timedAction.destContainer:isInside(getPlayer():getInventory)

Work any better?

That function also expects InventoryItem.

How is your item defined exactly?

[johndough]

I haven't defined any items; I'm just trying to check wether an arbitrary container object is inside the player's inventory.
