This is the easiest 'Identify' EQ class I've seen by far. This script parses the following output:
----BEGIN OUTPUT----
Your divination is complete...
Object: a red eye gem [red eye gem]
Item Type: TREASURE Effects: GLOW MAGIC
Equipable Location(s): TAKE HOLD
Weight: 1 Value: 1000 Level Restriction: 15
The object appears to be in perfect pristine condition.
Days Left: 181
Affects:
Level 25 spell of charm person.
+20 to MANA
+10 to AGE
+2 to STR
+2 to DAMROLL
----END OUTPUT---
It also parses all (at least all the ones I could think of) of the optional 'Affects' such as SAVING_SPELL, HIT_POINTS, HITROLL, etc.

The class definition should go into it's own folder named 'identify'. The other trigger should be put into a top-level folder that is always enabled unless, of course, you wish to turn off your database. To set up the database, simply create a new database with the all the field names that you see in the script and name the database 'items'. For example, you'd want to create a field named 'Object' because you saw &Item.Object in the script. Likewise with &Item.Names, &Item.Weight, &Item.Effects, etc.

NOTE: I wrote and debugged this script using v6.16 so I don't know if it works in earlier versions. Feel free to let me know if something isn't working correctly or if you know a way to do something better.

Peace,

I made the new database, made all the fields that I would need (all are text type) and loaded the script... when I cast identify on an item yellow text is printed "Identify" but when I open my database there is no listing of the item I jsut cast id on???

I do have 6.16 registered.

I had that problem initially too. Apparently there is some problem with auto entry into an empty database. Try filling the first entry in the database with bogus values, i.e. make up an item and put it in there. Then try to identify something else and see if the auto entry works.

Also about the &#43 in the code--that's HTML code for a plus sign. Everywhere you see that in the code, replace it with a plus sign.
