Just need some help scripting, im a beginner

[willochill]

okay, so im like a complete noob at scripting, like i'm stumped with a lot of stuff. I have an area in my map. In this area, when the player walks by, I want a grunt to be alerted, but ONLY if the player has a certain item in the inventory. How would I script this? (let's call the area Area1 and the item Item1). thx, im just stumped here.
