Hi,

I am having a little trouble with the OnAcquireItem. I have done the following script that when a player buys a key off a merchant, that it stores the info I need.

Code:
#include "aps_include"
void main()
{
object oItem = GetModuleItemAcquired();
object oPC = GetModuleItemAcquiredBy();
string sItem = GetTag(oItem);
string sHouseKey = GetStringLeft(sItem, 3);
string sName = GetName (oPC);


if ((sHouseKey) == "KEY")
    {
    string sHouseName = GetLocalString (oItem, "HOUSE_TAG");
    SendMessageToPC(oPC, ""+sHouseName+"");
    object oHouseSign = GetObjectByTag(""+sHouseName+"");
    SetPersistentString (oHouseSign, "House_Owner", ""+sName+"", 0, "housing"); //Sets the house to the buyer.
    SetPersistentInt (oHouseSign, "House_Rent", 500, 0, "housing"); //Sets the rent to make sure the house isnt taken.
    }


}


Now it works fine untill the player logs back in, for some reason it fires off the script in OnAcquireItem. I cannot figure out why it does it.

Can anyone help.

Thanks,

Ironhorse

OnClientEnter:
Code:
SetLocalInt(oPC, "LoggedIn", TRUE);


OnClientLeave:
Code:
SetLocalInt(oPC, "LoggedIn", FALSE);


OnAcquireItem:
Code:
if(GetLocalInt(oPC, "LoggedIn")) { /*do something*/ }


This workaround should solve problem.

Yes, OnAcquireItem fires every time someone logs in for all of their items. It's usually undesirable behaviour and a poor design decision by Bioware. (Well you've got to balance out all the good ones - like providing a complete toolset - somehow!)
