Good morning typhoonbot, how are you today?
Hmm, although I see your ultimate goal here, I personally would go about this in a different way. I potentially see problems here. (for instance what if someone accidentally drops the robe to the ground and a griefer snatches it, they are stuck in the guild forever?)
What I would do is use a dictionary instead of a list. I would use a dictionary like this:
Code:
public static Dictionary<Mobile, Item> m_UmbarianRooster = new Dictionary<Mobile, Item>();
Dictionaries work in a Key, Value relationship. They key is basically the ID for the entry, and the value is what it tied to that ID. You can make anything a key, and anything value (even say a list if items, so you can store an entire collection of items linked to one key, but thats off the subject).
The reason I suggest doing it this way is when a person is deleted or resigns from the guild you can alter the RemovePlayer method to look for that person in the dictionary, and if they are a guild member look at the item stored in their key, if that item exist (wasn't deleted) delete the item, then remove the player. Thsi way it doesn't matter where that robe is (locked in their house, stolen by a griefer, blasted into space for angry monkies to find as relics 3000 years in the future) it will get deleted as soon as the person leaves the guild.
It may sound intimidating but dictionaries are easy to work with once you get an understanding of them (which I can help you obtain). I will give you an example of how to serialize / deserialize this type of dictionary, as well as how to add a guild member and their robe to the dictionary. I will write something up now and post it in a few minutes.
p.s. I haven't had a chance to review your stone yet, I will do that in a few seconds, But Im happy to see you working away at it!
