Feature - Rejected Return Item(s) needed for Making

[bumcheekcity]

If I type "make bartender-in" into the CLI, and I don't have the stuff, it might print something like "You need a smart skull". Is there any way we could get an ASH script items_needed_to_make($item[whatever]) to RETURN $item[smart skull] or something?

It doesn't have to be amazingly intelligent behaviour, just emulating the CLI where it only tells you one of the item(s) you need would be fine.

Hmm. I'd imagine that something with comparing get_ingredients() to items in inventory would be the only way we can do this at the moment?

int [item] reqd = get_ingredients($item[SOMETHING]);
foreach i in reqd {
  if (item_amount(i) < reqd[i]) print("You don't have enough: " + i.to_string());
}

Of course, you'll need to assign each "hit" from above to another map to get the recursive requirments... and careful of things like "wad of dough".... didn't this get covered somewhere? (No really, I could swear it did, but can't remember where...)

I think the recursiveness of wad of dough was handled in either the bat man thread or another thread regarding one of Zarqon's combat helping scripts.

I didn't know about the get_ingredients() function. No need for this feature then

Here is a simple alias i use: alias ingr => ash get_ingredients($item[%%])

The recursiveness was in ZLib's new form of has_goal(). Here, I tried to explain it, and as you can see, a lot more objects are affected. I'm pretty sure this was related to the custom datafile, use_for_items, though (and how ZLib was interpreting it), but it might be present in get_ingredients(), as well.
