Quest - when player receive item from chat

[Jordan 22]

I'd like to make a quest, when any player receive item X from chest X to make an announcement. 

For example when the player get a poison sword from the death reaper chest.

Maybe someone already did something like that or know how to do it?

So you want something like this?

when x.use begin
    local rnd = math.random(1,100)
    if rnd >= 75 then
        pc.give_item2(189, 1)
        notice_all(pc.get_name().." got a fancy sword!")
    elseif rnd >= 50 then
        pc.give_item2(149, 1)
        notice_all(pc.get_name().." got a semi-fancy sword!")
    else
        pc.give_item2(19, 1)
        notice_all(pc.get_name().." got a not so fancy sword!")
    end
    pc.remove_item("x", 1)
end

You have to set the chest to ITEM_QUEST in item_proto and set all the drop in the quest. 

If you don't want to use quest for the chest drop then the notice_all is not possible using just a quest, you have to do it in the game file's source in c++.

Thanks for your reply.
Okay, since I don't want to do the drop via quest, I'll have to do it via source.
Can someone help me with an example how to do it please?

Find:

					if (item_get)
					{
						bSuccess = true;
					}

Change:

					if (item_get)
					{
						bSuccess = true;
						const TItemTable* Chest = ITEM_MANAGER::instance().GetTable(dwGroupNum);
						if (Chest) {
							char szBuf[128];
							snprintf(szBuf, sizeof(szBuf), "%s receive %s from %s", GetName(), item_get->GetName(), Chest->szLocaleName);
							BroadcastNotice(szBuf);
						}
					}

Thank you!
How can I do it only if one or two special item are received out of the box?

make some vectors of chests and items, then check it via item->GetVnum() and broadcast the notice if the item is one of the items of the chest you want to be noticed about when found.
