Iterating ACD attributes - how to identify that an item has been picked up?

[peterrs]

Hi,

Looking at the loot alert source it periodically iterates through the acd actors. But when a desired
item is flagged as "interesting" by the filter, it is simply put into an ignore list until current level area changes and ignorelist is reset.

What i've been experimenting with is calculating the amount of gold gained.

This is quite easy:

List<int> ignoreList = new List<int>();
int goldGained = 0;
foreach (var item in diablo.GetItems())
{
   if(!item.isValid() || ignoreList.Contains(item.Seed)) continue;
   if(item.ItemType == ItemType.Gold) {
         goldGained += item.GetInt(Attrib.Gold);
         ignoreList.Add(item.Seed);
   }
} 

But.. how do i really know that i actually picked up the gold and did not just walk far enough
away that they disappeared from the acd list anyway?

well you could check if that actors location is in your inventory position is at 0x114
PlayerBackpack = 0 I would assume maybe? i haven't done a check with gold

picked up gold actors will not appear in your inventory like normal items. It's values will be added to your total gold count.

So, the answer is that you don't know why an actor disappears from the memory.

With normal items the "workflow" is this:
- when you pick it up, the actor's location is changing to "inventory", and world coordinates will be invalidated, but inventory positions will be set
- when you drop an item, the item's actor is GONE (!), and in a half second a new actor (with new ID) will appear on the ground (**** yeah...)

Ahh, that really explains it. Thanks guys

[peterrs]

when you drop an item, the item's actor is GONE (!),

Is the seed invalidated also?
