doSetItemSpecialDescription() error.

[Ecstacy]

Hey,

I got some problems with this function, could anyone help me?

doSetItemSpecialDescription(getTileItemById(toPosition,r.corpse).uid,' [Tanned]')

There's no further script needed.

The thing that it should do it add a special description to an item on the floor with the itemid 'r.corpse', which is defined in a local.

But when I execute the script on the item it gives me this error:

[20/09/2010 23:36:41] [Error - Action Interface]

Thanks in advance,

just do it like:
doItemSetAttribute(item, "special description", desc)

 

[Legnak Bqm]

doItemSetAttribute(uid, "specialdescription", "desc")

Ok it doesn't give any error now, but it doesn't show the special description <_<.

0.3.6pl1

it dont work with special description i donno why i have been trying in the past too but no luck , so just use descripion.

doItemSetAttribute(item.uid,"description","description work isnt a great diference than special description.") 
getItemSpecialDescription(item.uid)  ---- return string "description work isnt a great diference than special description."

 

[Ecstacy]

doItemSetAttribute(getTileItemById(toPosition,r.corpse).uid, "description", '[Butched]')

This doesn't work, I don't need item.uid or itemEx.uid since that targets the item using or the tile the item lies on.

 

[Doggynub]

It should work in your case i just wrote item.uid as an example

 

[Ecstacy]

Hmm, it should work, no errors, nothing... but it doesn't show any description when I "Shift + click" it.
just regular description.

 

[Doggynub]

Maybe just that item cant be edited. Try to shift the item id and check(most likely test with shields,weapons etc..)

 

[Ecstacy]

It does work if I use item.uid ;/ so I guess it can't be edited <_<.

Know any way I can edit those properties?
