Morrowind Mod talk:GetItemCount

Bugs

note: the following code in a global script causes crashes in my game as of 2005-04-11

short grn
set grn to ( player->getitemcount, "misc_soulgem_grand" )

however, this works (note the lack of a comma following getitemcount)

short grn
set grn to ( player->getitemcount "misc_soulgem_grand" )

The following code will crash a script in any of the forms

GetItemCount, "torch"
GetItemCount "torch"
GetItemCount torch

This issue seems to be specific to the item "torch" as the function does work for everything item (including other lights). It is possible this is caused by it being a single word item name where there are a number of other items with the same name followed by an 'underscore' then something else - e.g. 'torch_128', 'torch_256'. It does work for RemoveItem and AddItem. Renaming the item or creating a copy called torch_01 and working with that instead works. Renaming it would stop other scripts/mods working (e.g. Light The Way) that call the item by name. I have yet to discover another solution.
