GetNextItemInInventory

GetNextItemInInventory(object)

Determines the first item in an object's inventory.

object GetNextItemInInventory(
    object oTarget = OBJECT_SELF
);

Parameters

oTarget

The object that has the inventory. (Default: OBJECT_SELF)

Description

Returns the next item in oTarget's inventory or OBJECT_INVALID if the caller is not a creature, item, placeable or store, or if no more items are found.

Remarks

GetFirstItemInInventory() should be called on oTarget before this function is be called.

When an item with an inventory (such as a bag of holding) is returned using the GetFirstItemInInventory and GetNextItemInInventory functions, the next call to GetNextItemInInventory will start to look inside the nested inventory (e.g. the bag of holding's inventory).

Version

Example

// This function counts up the total number of items in the first PC's inventory.
//(The number of items in a stackable count toward the total)
void main()
{
   int nItems = 0;
   object oItem = GetFirstItemInInventory(GetFirstPC());
   while (GetIsObjectValid(oItem) == TRUE)
   {
      nItems = nItems + GetNumStackedItems(oItem);
      oItem = GetNextItemInInventory(GetFirstPC());
   }
}
