Check if item exist

[provocating]

I may end up having to change the source myself, but before I go to the trouble I wanted to ask.

Is there any way to check in Perl for the existence of an item ? I need a simple bool response on if an item exist.

Also, maybe some of the powers that be can also answer this one. If I am changing the source, do you absolutely have to recompile every time to test ?

If an item exists where? In the database, a player's inventory, their bank?

If you are changing the C++ source you must recompile, stop your server, copy the executables to where your server is run from, and start your server every time.

In the database.

So far, most of this is making a fair amount of sense. There is one thing in perlparser.cpp that is not making sense, this line.

 int	class_id = (int)SvIV(ST(0));

Class_id is something I am using, then everything to the right is a mystery.

I asked this same question once here, hopefully the solution there will work for you.

As far as changing the source and compiling, yeah you have to compile every time you change something.

That is definitely going to help, I kind of had gotten all of that from the comments on the top of one of the files, which was also invaluable.

I think my problem was just not understanding the structure changes coming from C#.

Like this

if (condition)
my_action();
my_second_action();


I figured that the second action would fire, but come to find out if you have two actions, you have to encase them in {}. I kind of found that reading further into the code, I saw where that happened. It will just be a learning curve, I will not pick it all up in one night.
