MagicalMaster: I am being helpful -- but more in the manner of "Give a man a fish vs teach a man to fish."

Hickory: You could have taught the man to fish here, and you know it.

MagicalMaster: No, actually, I don't personally have the time to help everyone on this forum who has a problem with a script in a prompt manner. Hence why I'm encouraging him to use a resource where he can consistently get help from a bunch of people who are good at this stuff, not just me.

And I just said the same thing (rephrased) in my previous post which you apparently ignored.

Hickory: If you had simply said: "You will get better help at XYZ forum", and left it at that, all would have been hunky dory, but no, you had to come back and rub it in that you knew the answer but were unwilling to share it.

MagicalMaster: I ... do -- and the price for my help is for him to join the main NWN community.

Hickory: Yeah, so you keep saying. It's always enlightening when somebody puts a price on help. Have a nice one.

urknighterrant: Anyway, thanks for dropping by MM. We don't get a lot of NWN elites on these boards. We do have a slightly higher percentage of jackasses than the bio legacy boards. Legacy boards generally have nice, tight knit communities. The GoG boards are still a part of a much bigger community and we have a lot of transients wander through. And, I guess you may have noticed, a few trolls with nothing useful to contribute (looking right at you, hickory), but they are a minority. Most of the folks here are really nice and grateful for help.

For the record, anyone serious about learning to use the toolset or creating custom content really doesn't belong on these boards. They will NOT get the support they need. Go to the Bio legacy boards.

Chipster: Use the Bioware Social Network with a forum dedicated solely for NWN 1 at:http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/subindex/153. It may be a legacy someday, but not yet. The BSN community is huge, encompassing too many game sub-communities to begin listing here that has been growing steadily before GoG was even a concept.

urknighterrant: Really? You're just going to waltz in and start picking nits? Are you OK with my spelling and punctuation, then?

jerrus147: I wrote a script that allows you to activate a bundle of firewood and spawn a campfire if you have a piece of flint in your inventory. Without the flint you just get a message saying that you need flint to start a campfire. Well, the activate function in the firewood's properties is set to single use. So, even if you don't have flint you still lose your bundle of firewood. So, I added a line to add a bundle of firewood back to your inventory if you don't have flint. But now when I activate the firewood in the game without flint it fills my entire inventory up with bundles of firewood. Here's the script. Can someone please tell me what I did wrong. Thanks!!

#include "x2_inc_switches"
void main()
{
object oSpawn;

// Get the creature who triggered this event.
object oPC = GetItemActivator();

// Abort if the PC does not have the item Flint.
if ( GetItemPossessedBy(oPC, "jw_flint") == OBJECT_INVALID )
{
CreateItemOnObject("jw_firewood", oPC, 1);
SendMessageToPC(oPC, "You need a piece of flint to start the fire.");

return;
}

// Spawn Campfire.
oSpawn = CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_PLACEABLE, "jw_campfire", GetLocation(oPC));
}

Tallima: Would you mind posting a link to a place where I can download your module? I'm an old scripting master and if I get a chance, I'll take a look this weekend.
