Giving an Item to an NPC

[AfroPharaoh]

Back again with another question.

I was wondering how I give an item to an NPC. Like how someone like a prof. would be like "aye, deliver this package for me". How do I deliver it, like once I get to the desired NPC, How do I give it to them and complete the delivery?

I tried playing around with it, but I don't think I'm getting it.
any help is appreciated.

Assuming you gave them a physical item, and not just flipped a switch, you can use

$PokemonBag.pbDeleteItem(:POTION)

but substitute in your item's name.
You can learn more about manipulating items on the wiki

I'm getting this error:

Exception: RuntimeError

Message: Script error within event 15, map 110 (Indoors):

there is literally nothing but text above the script. I tried switching the item since the original item was a custom item and maybe it was defined wrong or something, but even with a regular item this came up. i double checked the spelling . i tried having more than one of the item as well.

Use extendtext.exe, the interpreter doesn't know what you're saying when it's split up like that

That did it. Thanks for the help again. I was really over-thinking it and thought it was gonna be more complex than that. Again, I appreciate it.

No prob. Always just run extendtext when you start working, and you won't have to worry about forgetting things like that.

Also, if you must separate the code onto a different line, you can do it in ways that the interpreter can understand.

$PokemonBag.pbDeleteItem(
:ARMORFOSSIL)

can be read, so could

$PokemonBag.pbDeleteItem(:ARMORFOSSIL,
1)

But it's much easier to just use extendtext
