Hi,

I've been having some trouble with writing my idenify script. I'm a novice and don't really understand what I'm doing.

Once the data is loaded into the database the key record NAME is populated correctly but, when I click on it or a db scan is performed it resets to 0.
Also the room and zone do not populate based upon the room and zone fields. When I check manually the fields never update. &zone &room etc. Sorry not sure how to make this more readable.

#CLASS {Identify};#TRIGGER {Object '(*)' is type (%w), extra flags (*).} {#ADDKEY Item {Name="%1"|Flag="%3"|kind="%2"} {} Identify} "" {nocr|disable};#TRIGGER {Weight is (%d), value is (%d), level is (%d)} {#ADDKEY Item {Weight=%1|cost=%2|level=%3}};#TRIGGER {$} {#dbfirst;#WHILE (!%null( %rec)) {#IF (@Item.name=&Name) {ObjectExist = 1};#DBNEXT};#IF (@ObjectExist = "") {#NEW @Item.kind @Item};#T- Identify};#TRIGGER {damage is &Item.Hit ~(average &Item.Damage~).} {};#TRIGGER {Weapon type is (&Item.Type).} {};#TRIGGER {Weapons flags: (&Item.WeapFlag)} {};#TRIGGER {Affects dexterity by (&Item.Dexterity).} {};#TRIGGER {Affects hit roll by (&Item.Hit).} {};#TRIGGER {Affects damage roll by (&Item.Dam).} {};#TRIGGER {Affects intelligence by (&Item.Intelligence).} {};#TRIGGER {Affects wisdom by (&Item.Wisdom).} {};#TRIGGER {Affects Strength by (&Item.Strength).} {};#TRIGGER {Affects constitution by (&Item.Const).} {};#TRIGGER {Capacity: &Item.Capacity# Maximum weight: &Item.Maxweight# flags: &Item.FlagsC} {};#TRIGGER {Weight multiplier: &Item.WeightMulti} {};#TRIGGER {(*)This object is a (*) and came from (&Item.Lore)} {#addkey item {Lore"%3"}} "" {nocr};#TRIGGER {Affects hp by (&Item.hp)} {};#TRIGGER {Object '&Item.Name' is type &Item.Kind, extra flags &Item.Flag.} {};#TRIGGER {Has (*) charges of level &Item.SpellLevel '&Item.spells'.} {};#TRIGGER {Level &SpellLevel spells of: &Item.spells.} {};#TRIGGER {Armor class is &item.Pierce pierce, &item.Bash bash, &item.Slash slash, and &item.Saves vs. magic.} {};#CLASS 0;

I can't see the above script updating the name field as the script disables. But why does the db program allow scrolling through the fields to reset it to zero.

Thanks Gareth

Try saving the database every time after you add a new item
#DBSAVE dbname

Thanks #DBSAVE didn't help thou.
Still can't get the rooms zone field to populate correctly.
Is there any tools to repack and reindex the db's?

The Zone and Room field-types were removed around version 6.16 I think. These fields must be changed to another field-type or they won't work.
