Giving and taking items

I want to take an item from the player and give him an other. Fortunately is this part of a quest so I thought I could use the on phase finished actions transfer item to player and npc. But it does not work. So I tried this script. But it does not work too although there is no error message. Could someone tell me what I did wrong?

void main(){	object oPC = GetFirstPC();	object oItemA = GetObjectByTag("i46");	object oItemB = GetObjectByTag("i43");		ActionTakeItem(oItemA, oPC);	ActionGiveItem(oItemB, oPC);}

Giving and taking are actions performed by an NPC, to be used like this -

object oNPC = GetObjectByTag("npc_somebody");object oPC = GetFirstPC();object oItem = GetObjectByTag("some_item");AssignCommand(oNPC,ActionGiveItem(oItem,oPC));

To simply add an item to the player's inventory,

object oPC = GetFirstPC();CreateItemOnObject("item_template",oPC);

Or, if you already have the object,

object oPC = GetFirstPC();object oItem = GetObjectByTag("some_item");object oNewItem = CopyItem(oItem,oPC);DestroyObject(oItem);

All of this is 'dry' code, though - please test it thoroughly.

Thanks, it works now. But why I get with CreateItemOnObject("item_template",oPC); the same item twice?

 

[ailinon]

Well, it creates an item basing on a template - multiple creations result in multiple items. Or, do you get the item twice even if you have only one CreateItemOnObject action..?

Oh, I put the action script inadvertent in the standard greeting line which is said before and after the quest conversation lines. Thanks.
