What is a "full item structure"?

[Periculi]

When I use (itmGetAverageAppearing &itTestItem;) in the debug console it returns nil. TestItem has numberAppearing set to 1d10.

When I use (itmGetAverageAppearing &itTestItem;) in an invoke, the game crashes.

When I use (itmGetAverageAppearing "&itTestItem;") in an invoke it returns nil.

I thought that an item was referenced by it's UNID as &itTestItem; in script- no quotes. Also, why wont (itmGetAverageAppearing) return anything other than nil? I have tried it a bunch of different ways in the debug and in invokes, with lots of different items- never getting a result other than nil or crashing.

(itmGetName &itTestItem;) in th debug console returns nil.

(itmGetName (itmCreate &itTestItem; 1) 1) returns nil

Doesn't that work in the debug console?

I guess not!

(itmGetName (itmCreate &itTestItem; 1) 1) works fine in the game.

(itmGetAverageAppearing (itmCreate &itTestItem; 1)) works in the invoke, but not in the console. Why does it require (itmCreate first to work?

Why doesn't an item UNID work for the item functions?

Unfortunately, the debug console does not understand the &variable; syntax (that's just an XML 'macro expansion')

In the debug console you need to put in the hex (or decimal) value. You can also use (unvUNID {some item name}) to get the UNID of an item.

(itmGetAverageAppearing) takes something returned by (itmCreate) [It won't take an UNID]

Hope that helps!
