device causing random item removal

[clomaka]

Is there any way to get a device to remove a random item/weapon/etc (like opening a container full of toxic waste, which then gets all over something random in the ship)? I tried the Esmeralda quest's uvar=stolenitem, but that doesn't work

There is also this in those quests:
THIF 0 1

Include that and see how it works.

Here's how i got it working. PAGE2 is in there just in case, but it never seems to use it; which is fine by me.

I might have to switch it over to THIF so i can use 'uvar=stolenitem' to name what gets damaged...

What are these triggering on?

According to the modmaker's guide (and my own experimentation confirms this) the thief and sabotage triggers only happen upon world exploration.

Are you saying you got it to work on an item? That's awesome if you did.
