What is the 'Magnifier Item' for Inventory?

[noelbruton]

I want to examine objects in inventory, but the help doc just says 'use a magnifier irtem' or 'magnifying glass' without explaining what a magnifier item is or where to find it or how to use one. I've put 'magnifier' and 'magnifying' and 'glass' into a search everywhere I can think of and come up with nothing.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

It is in the manual.

I beg to differ. It isn't in the manual, which says "To do that, just create a new "Magnifier Glass" item and use the "Using items on each other" command to go to frames that contain the description of the items."

All it says is "create a MG item."

My question is WHAT is the Magnifier Glass item and where do I get to use it?

All you do is make a icon that looks like the MG and let it start witrh the game from the IV and use when you use the item on a icon in your IV it will take them to a new frame.
Do a seach here as it has been ask before many a time.

Thanks Candle. I think I understand now.

The manual seems to suggest that the Magnifier Glass is a reserved feature of AM. But if I understand you correctly, I must invent a magnifying glass, poke it to the inventory with a VBS command; and then in use, drag it from the inventory to another item in the inventory - and associate that drag with an event that calls a frame.

Sorry for the deliberately precise languange, but I'm just trying to ensure I've got it before I go round in another circle of confusion

Yep you got it now.
