How can I check what my item name is in inventory?

[Putmalk]

Okay, I cheated. I kind of guessed that when it was giving me the item, it was adding +1 to the number. So it wasn't chemical_container_1 anymore, it was chemical_container_2, which doesn't work with the code.

To, ahem...*fix* this, (and by fix I did something terrible and brute forced it....), I adding a for-loop for 500 times (no way the player should have to drain their pot 500 times to solve the puzzle. And it works, I guess. I'm going to keep trying.

I'm going to post the entire code with the for loops added.

Code: (Select All)

//drainage

void InteractDrain(string &in asEntity)
{
    SetMessage("Interact", "11_DrainChemicals", 0);
}

void SpillChemicals(string &in asItem, string &in asEntity)
{
    if(asItem == "chemical_container_good")
    {
        SetMessage("Interact", "11_NoDrainGood", 0);
        return;
    }

    SetMessage("Interact", "11_ChemicalsDrained", 0);

    RemoveItem(asItem);
    GiveItem("chemical_container_1", "chemical_container.ent", "ChemicalContainer", "chemical_container.tga", 0);
}

//call when player interacts with empty container
void PickContainer(string &in asEntity, string &in type)
{
    for(int i=0;i<=500;i++)
    {    
        if(asEntity == "chemical_container_"+i)
        {
            SetEntityActive(asEntity, false);
            SetEntityActive("AreaPlaceContainer", true);
            
            //replace with chemical_container_1 so we can place again!
            RemoveItem(asEntity);

So I'm going to see if this works. It seemed to have worked when I tried it out, I've expanded it to cover everywhere I needed.

My head hurts. That one bug is making me seriously consider redoing this whole puzzle into something so much simplier. Because what is happening now is unacceptable and my head really hurts.
