Key in jar - Damascus - 09-26-2012
I just plain can't figure out how it works! I checked the map and script for Daniel's Room, and found the only hint to be that the "contained item" for the object was "key_study." Nothing in the HPS about the key_jar or anywhere else really. Yet when I set the key_jar to have this contained item, nothing appears when I break it. How can I get a key to appear, and have a custom description.0
RE: Key in jar - jamesclarke555 - 09-26-2012
The key should appear if you have "key_study" set as the contained item.
The problem I had was; I found that the key is hard coded to look for:
<Entry Name="ItemName_KeyStudy">
<Entry Name="ItemDesc_KeyStudy">
If I remember correctly, the description is always picked up from the main Amnesia english.lang file, so you would need to create a total conversion as custom stories will always display "Machine Room Key" when the key is picked up!

A cheap trick that might work:
You create the jar, make it Static and without a contained item.
You create the key_custom and place it in the same spot the contained key is, make it inactive.
Create a callback when interacting with the Jar so that it breaks (prophealth = -1) and sets your key_custom active.
This should work, imho.
