I want to make a item put a syndrome when it's picked up\equipped, and remove all traces of the syndrome when the item is dropped\unequipped.
I have little idea how to do this, as I know little to nothing about DFhack.
I've posted this question at least three times on the DFhack thread, but every time, either everyone ignored it, or posted something I didn't understand, and then ignored my follow-up question.
If someone fixes my problem, I will create my artifact mod.

Sounds like a job for DFhack's item-trigger. My best unhelpful advice is: If you want to learn how to use DFhack, you should learn how to use DFhack

I've tried item-trigger, but it didn't remove the syndrome when speed boots were dropped. Well, it did, but the speed increase didn't get removed with the syndrome. Where can I learn to use DFhack properly?

Perhaps when the boots are unequipped, remove the syndrome and then apply a second syndrome which cancels out the speed boost exactly?

Rubble comes with an item syndrome script that should work. If I remember correctly it doesn't require any of the Rubble DFHack support code, so it won't need to be modified for use without Rubble.

Look in the addons in the "Libs" category.

Thanks! I will try this. Uh, could you post anything after this so it goes back to my new reply list, so I will remember to do this?

[milo christiansen]

Sure

I would like to thank Milo Christiansen for the use of his awesome item_syndrome.lua, but it doesn't seem to work for my purposes.
It seems to remove the syndrome itself, but it still doesn't seem to remove the
speed-bonus/zapping-interaction (granted from the speed-boots/gauntlets of zapping respectively) from the wearer.
Is there any way to remove the use of a interaction from a unit? If so, maybe I can just use good ol' item-trigger to remove the speed-bonus/zapping-interaction through speed-slowing/interaction-removal respectively.
