making one item open one thing for an item

[Ibrahim9]

I kind of got in a bit of a mess when trying to make only ONE item open a chest. Can anyone help?
PS If this is too complicated and the moderators delete this, ill understand.

function igumkey_a;

  function oChest_UseInv()
  {
    if (player.ActiveInventory == igumkey)
    {
      player.LoseInventory(igumkey);
      player.Say("Great it's unlocked!");
      oChest.Graphic = 6;
      chestUnlocked = true;
    }
    else
    {
      player.Say("As you can see, it's locked and I need some sort of key");
  }
}
 
function oChest_Interact()
{
 
  if (!chestUnlocked)
  {
    player.Say("It's locked, and I can't reach inside.");
  }
  else
  {
    if (!chestEmpty)
    {
      player.Say("Now I have the camera.");
      player.AddInventory(icamera);
      chestEmpty = true;
      oChest.Visible = false;
    }
    else
    {
      player.Say("Nothing in that chest.");
    }
  }

}

It seems you made a mess between your own code and the one I send you, so I'll run it past again:

1) In AGS, you can not simply copy code someone wrote into an empty room script (as I already told you several times). You need to set up interactions by clicking on the little button with the flash icon, and then enter the code in between those {} brackets (as I told you several times too). While the code you send seems mostly functional- where is it, and what happens when you compile it?

2) You seem to use variables I provided in my code without declaring them first. This will result in your game not compiling. (I told you too, I think, several times).

3) You seem to include the header to a function (iGumkey_a) without reason. This will also cause errors.
To allow people to help you, please include:
* What exactly happens when you compile this? Do you get error messages? Does something not work?
* Where is the code you posted? Global script, room file?
* Which version of AGS do you use?
That way forum members will have a much easier job helping you.
