Is there something to check if a specific item is being wielded. was created by Treyorn

I know you can check to see if the player is wielding an item with %actor.eq%(wield), but is there a way to check for a specific weapon.

For example:

Code:

Name: 'block troll king entrance without flame weapon',  VNum: [ 6721], RNum: [  936]
Trigger Intended Assignment: Rooms
Trigger Type: Leave , Numeric Arg: 100, Arg list: None
Commands:
if %direction% == south
  if %actor.eq(wield)% == 6719
    return 1
  else 
    return 0
    %send% %actor% A force blocks you from going to the south.
    %send% %actor% You hear a voice, 'Only the adventurer with a legendary weapon of Flames may proceed!'
  end
end

I essentially want to block any access to the room to the south, unless they are wielding a specific weapon. The block works fine. Any help would be appreciated.

if %actor.eq(wield)% == 6719 <- I know this doesn't work but I figured it would be a decent example to try and explain what I am trying to do.

Thanks,

%actor.eq(wield)% is an object var in itself, so to get the vnum, use

Code:

%actor.eq(wield).vnum% 

You can even use the builtin equality check:

Code:

if %actor.eq(wield).vnum(6719)% 
...
end

Thank you much! I ended up creating a variable because there are 4 different weapons and had a wear/remove trigger added to each weapon. I will post what I did a bit later.

Here is what I did:

Code:

Name: 'block troll king entrance without flame weapon',  VNum: [ 6721], RNum: [  936] 
Trigger Intended Assignment: Rooms 
Trigger Type: Leave , Numeric Arg: 100, Arg list: None 
Commands: 
if %direction% == south && %actor.is_pc%
  if %actor.varexists(flameweapon_yes)% 
    return 1 
  else  
    return 0 
    %send% %actor% A force blocks you from going to the south. 
    %send% %actor% You hear a voice, 'Only the adventurer with a legendary weapon of Flames may proceed!' 
  end 
end

Code:

Name: 'set flame variable with weapon wield Treyorn',  VNum: [ 6722], RNum: [  937] 
Trigger Intended Assignment: Objects 
Trigger Type: Wear , Numeric Arg: 100, Arg list: None 
Commands: 
set flameweapon_yes 1 
remote flameweapon_yes %actor.id%

Code:

Name: 'remove flame variable with weapon removal Treyorn',  VNum: [ 6723], RNum: [  938] 
Trigger Intended Assignment: Objects 
Trigger Type: Remove , Numeric Arg: 100, Arg list: None 
Commands: 
rdelete flameweapon_yes %actor.id%

This way I can add weapons and just attach the triggers instead of editing the triggers in the future.

If you've got four different weapons, did you want all four to be used interchangeably? Or did you want different weapons in different cases, such as to pass through different door? It looks like you've got four flame weapons, such as sword, dagger, axe and spear or whatever and any of the four will get you through the door.

But just in case you decide to go with flames to see the trolls, ice to see the orcs, water to see the mers, air to see the fae, or something of the sort, you could think about changing the trigger to something like (untested)
set %self%_yes 1
remote %self%_yes %actor.id%
