I almost posted this to Newbie Central because I have a feeling I'm overlooking something... well, here goes, anyway.

Here's the code I'm using. If I use oview(1), I can't get the item when I'm standing in the same square with it. If I use view(1), I still have access to "get" even when the item is in my inventory.

Is there another way to go about this?

Thanks...

obj
map_object
var/gettable = 0

verb
get()
set src in view(1)
if(gettable)
Move(usr)

This should work. Here's the case I'm using:

obj/verb/get()
set src in oview(1)
Move(usr)

And that seems to have the correct accessibility. Does this work for you?

It seems to work fine. Most likely my brain overheated and I misinterpreted some result and posted too hastily... sorry!

By the way, so far the new release seems real good. (Haven't tried Gen yet, though. :)
