How are gear and location connected?

[Kendall-DM]

If gearholder is really a container, you should be able to do the foreach on the gearholder and not the hero.

foreach pick in gearholder from MyGear

No sure that will work, but give it a shot. I didn't even know there was a container transition called gearholder to tell the truth.

Damn, still no joy. gearholder is aparently invalid syntax for the foreach statement.
You can thank Mathias for gearholder.

I tested the gearholder transition by creating an item, "monkeys", and add the eval line:

gearholder.field[livename].text = "Barrel of Monkeys"

Sure enough, when monkeys go into a container it becomes a Barrel of Monkeys. Strangely enough, I am having trouble reversing it.

field[livename].text = field[livename].text & " in a " & gearholder.field[livename.text

This returns " in a " (final phase) or " in a Barrel" (validation phase)
This makes me think that there is a timing issue here as well.

Based on what it says in the hlkitwiki, I think it has to be used from the point of view of the gear inside the container (like master has to be used from the minion side). That is why I thought the way to go would be to look at each piece of gear and see if the container it was in had the Location tag.

Since there isn't a transition in the reverse direction for gearholder, here's something that may work:

 
foreach pick in hero from MyGear
  if (eachpick.isgearheld <> 0) then
    if (eachpick.gearholder.uniqindex = uniqindex) then
      ~do whatever
      endif
    endif
  nexteach

Don't record uniqindex - that will change depending on what's currently on the hero and the order they were all added and deleted in, but if the uniqindex of the holder of the item you've found is the same as the uniqindex of yourself, you know you're what's holding that item.

Thank you Mathias! This is working perfectly.
