IF statements ?

[typhoonbot]

Hey guys, I'm just trying to make an item. it has a custom name. example: "a piece of pie" now, the graphic I used was NOT a stackable graphic, so in the items property section I have "stackable = true ;" and that works fine, and the item stacks, however after more than one, it says " 2 a piece of pie". I need it to say "2 pieces of pie" obviously.

What I was thinking I would do is have an IF statement something like the following...

If (m.Amount > 1)
{
      name = "pieces of pie" ;
}

however as im sure u can imagine, that didnt work

first of all: where in the script do I put the if statement, and what did I do wrong with it ?

im running 2.0 RC1, and here is how the script looks:

using System;
using Server.Network;
using Server.Items;
using Server.Targeting;

namespace Server.Items
{
	public class pieceofpie : Item
  {


      [Constructable]
		public pieceofpie()
			: base(12696)
		{
          Name = "A Piece Of Pie";
          Stackable = true;
		}
		
		public pieceofpie( Serial serial ) : base( serial )
		{
		}

		public override void Serialize( GenericWriter writer )
		{
			base.Serialize( writer );
			writer.Write( (int) 0 ); // version
		}

		public override void Deserialize( GenericReader reader )
		{
			base.Deserialize( reader );

			int version = reader.ReadInt();
		}
	}
}

TA and regards...

hi...

try this:

 using System;
using Server.Network;
using Server.Items;
using Server.Targeting;

namespace Server.Items
{
    public class pieceofpie : Item
  {


      [Constructable]
        public pieceofpie(int amount)
            : base(12696)
        {
          Name = "A Piece Of Pie";
          Stackable = true;
          Amount = amount;
          
          
        }
        
        public pieceofpie( Serial serial ) : base( serial )
        {
        }

        public override void Serialize( GenericWriter writer )
        {
            base.Serialize( writer );
            writer.Write( (int) 0 ); // version
        }

        public override void Deserialize( GenericReader reader )
        {
            base.Deserialize( reader );

            int version = reader.ReadInt();
        }
    }
}

you may run into a problem if your graphic doesnt have a *stackable* counterpart....and im not sure how to do that.....


hope this helps

edit to add:

after looking at your post closer...and looking at a few items in-game... take *empty bottle* for example; 1 bottle is *empty bottle*, 50 bottles stacked are *50 empty bottle*.
it might be easier to rename *A piece of pie* to simply *piece of pie*. it wont be correct grammatical form, but your players will know what it is.

edit 2

if you use CheeseSlice (base 0x97C) it looks like a slice of pie and has a stackable graphic counterpart

ill shut up now
