can anybody give me a clue how to use the combine action?
I thought it works like: giving 2 objects something in which they converse by combining and having an action_object somewhere in the dungeon, which defines the to objects to be combined. but it does not work when i put both objects into right and left hand. Must I trigger that action somehow? and how can I do that if I am searching for the effect that something should be conversed just if used?

The action object mist be activated
You can do a check by having each item activate the combine action object when equipped in the hand.
Alternatively, you can have the objects possess a combine action, or create a combine spell, that when activated will do the combine object check

God idea.
But sadly Iam not able to trigger the actionpad. Connecting an action with an object that is equipped does not seem to have any effect. (action_combine works but I don't know how to trigger it correct). Have I missed something?

Oh, wait, if i recall i found a bug/feature of RTC right now - additional actions are not triggered unless you infact have the original item swap aswell!
So in the convert equip menu, you would need to have the item swap to itself, in order for the action to work
I need to report that as a bug at some point!

After I also added a relay inbetween the mechanic to do a delay of 1 tic it works now.
Great Beo.

Please open a new thread in the RTC Bugs forum with a clear description of the problem -- I'm not sure I fully understand the above. Thanks.
