I wouldn't do this in a normal scenario, but here's my troublesome code. It's supposed to destroy all of the party's items, equipped or in their pack. It seems to only destroy equipped items.

i = 0;
while(i < 40) {
j = 0;
while(j < 4) {
if(char_ok(j))
destroy_char_item(j,i);
j = j + 1;
}
i = i + 1;
}

Total shot in the dark here, but could it be choking on empty slots? I'd try putting a check to make sure there's something in the slot in front of the destroy_char_item() call, to see if that helps. If not, it definitely seems like a bug in either the implementation or documentation of the call...

I tried putting in a check for that, but it still doesn't work:
i = 0;
while(i < 40) {
j = 0;
while(j < 4) {
if(char_ok(j))
if(item_type_in_slot(j,i) != -1)
destroy_char_item(j,i);
j = j + 1;
}
i = i + 1;
}

When you remove an item in a pack, all items above it shift down. So if you destroy item 18, say, item 19 shifts down into 18's spot.

Ah, of course. The first pack slot is #13, right? So all the script has to do is destroy all equipped items, then repeatedly check if there's an item in slot 13 and destroy it.
