Stumped - Object Load/Purge Triggers was created by Silvaria

I couldn't help but leap into triggering before all my mobs were created.

Unfortunately, I may have leapt in before I was ready...

Here is what I'm *trying* to achieve:

Code:

Name: Daytime Mushrooms Wilt - obj 59398   Intended for : Rooms
Trigger types: Global Random    Numeric Arg  : 100
Commands:
* This trigger is intended to purge Obj 59398 from the room, if it exists when the trigger fires.
wait until 7:00
wait 5 seconds
if ((Obj 59398 exists in this room))
%echo% The small mushrooms wither to hide beneath the underbrush until night falls again.
%purge% obj 59398
end

I'm having trouble figuring out what to replace the statement within double parentheses with to have the trigger return a true value and activate the other two commands. Do I need to change this to an object trigger to have it work correctly?

Trigger 59300 and 59301 are the coinciding triggers for the effect I'm trying to create, if anyone is free to take a peek at them.

Code:

Name: Daytime Mushrooms Wilt - obj 59398   Intended for : Rooms
Trigger types: Global Random    Numeric Arg  : 100
Commands:
* This trigger is intended to purge Obj 59398 from the room, if it exists when the trigger fires.
wait until 7:00
wait 5 seconds
eval checkobj %%findobj.%self.vnum%(59398)%%
if %checkobj% > 0  
  %echo% The small mushrooms wither to hide beneath the underbrush until night falls again.
  set item %self.contents%
  while %item%
    set next %contents.next_in_list%
    if %item.vnum(59398)%
      %purge% %item%
    end
    set item %next%
  done
end

That should work, but is untested, if it doesn't let me know and I'll fix it.

[strike]After a quick test, it returned: [ findobj.vnum(ovnum) - illegal syntax ]

If you saw the error pop up in the MUD, I remedied the missing "end" lol. That was my mistake, for not having scrolled all the way down when transposing it.[/strike]

Scratch that!!!! Omg, I'm a proofreader for a living practically, and I didn't proof my own typing.

Code:

%findobj.%self.vnum%959398)%

Hmm. This time it returned the following:

Code:

Trigger: Daytime Mushrooms Wilt - obj 59398, VNum 59301, type: 2. unknown room field: 'vnum'

Actually it looks like you typoed something, I just saw the error, it actually reads:

[ Trigger: Daytime Mushrooms Wilt - obj 59398, VNum 59301, type: 2. unknown room field: 'vum' ]

'vum' not 'vnum', it's because you have: eval checkobj %%findobj.%self.vum%(59398)%%
