Wipe Items

[ZenVirZan]

Hello again,
What i'm looking for is the hash which all items are stored in, so I can delete all of a user's items (I have an online game)
Simply because it saves data (switches, etc) in the save file, but items are received from the server.
So yeah, where is it stored and what's the most efficient way of clearing it?
I only ask because I'm sick of going through and comparing variables, aha.
Thanks guys.

I am guessing you're using rmxp? It's very useful to mention the engine in either the title or the first post.

If it is rmxp:
Items are stored in $game_party.items, but you need an attribute accessor for it before you can modify it.
so in class Game_Party add:
[rgss]attr_accessor :items
[/rgss]
Then you can do the following to delete all the user's items:
[rgss]$game_party.items.clear
[/rgss]

note: $game_party.items returns a hash with the following structure:
[rgss]@items = { item_id => amount, item_id => amount }
[/rgss]
note 2: This was done from the top of my head so there might be some things did wrong but essentially it works like this.

I cant believe myself. . . I've been using $game_party.items constantly and never though of that. . . makes me really doubt my scripts now!
Thanks a heap Ares!

Oh, and yes, sorry. I am using RMXP.
Thanks for your understanding

1 more thing,
If I don't want the Items + Armours + Weapons to save to the file, how would I go about excluding them from the save?
I can't just remove the Marshal.dump($game_party, file)
