ReplyThere is a verb for 'put something in my container' = stow
But there isn't an equivalent for taking something out as far as I can tell. I think this would be pretty handy
So right now, afaik, you have to type something like: get item from my container, but I suggest a new verb "retrieve item" = get item from my container.
Right now it's kind of hit or miss as to whether you will get something from your pack or the ground or what-not if you just type "get item"
I think "retrieve item" or "ret item" for short would be pretty nifty.
There is also the very handy "my", as in "get my <item>."
However, you discount the case when someone may be carrying more than one of a single item. Do you want your vultite broadsword, or your rolaren broadsword? Do you want your gold wand (fighting frost giants), or your aqua wand (fighting fire guardians)?
"get my gold wand from my grosgrain sack" is entirely appropriate. (I'm actually lazy enough that I only type out "get my gol wand from my gr sack", but you get the idea.) I definitely do NOT want the crystal wand which is my baldric, for example, nor any of the wands that are in my belt...

In all seriousness, I just make a simple SF script to handle all that typing and assign it to a macro key.
For an example a script I name put which I assign to Control-P as .put @ pack. The @ is the insertion point for additional typing which is perfect for hitting the macro key and typing out the item I want to put in my container (my pack in this case).
The SF script is as simple as:
PUT get %1
PUT open my %2
PUT put %1 in my %2
PUT close my %2
Now that is all great if you always have a free hand to get stuff and put it away. However, if you have a shield and weapon (or two weapons) out most of the time then try the following:
PUT store weapon
PUT get %1
PUT open my %2
PUT put %1 in my %2
PUT close my %2
PUT ready weapon
The above script will work assuming you have set the READY verb to handle your weapons, and sheaths. One could also, if they prefer, to change the store/ready weapon lines to WEAR SHIELD/REMOVE SHIELD instead.
At least this way I can execute 4-6 command lines in one simple macro key and some specific input. Or simply type it out as one line command:
>.put sapphire bag
>.put gem pack
Etc.

I have all sorts of short scripts I wrote to handle things I do all the time that require multiple commands. .get, .fire, one for every spell I have reason to prep/cast with my casters, one to put me in stance offensive and use each cman.... etc
Yes, I know about macros and how to use them.... those spots are all used up by my limericks though.
