command: check <container> for <object>

[sona]

I just think this would be an extremely useful command, if we can have it. We all know the pain of trying to eyeball a container with 100 different items. #firstworldArtisanProblems

It could be a sort of 'count' command for containers that can't be worn - handcarts, workcarts, boxes and wagons.

I'll definitely +1. :)

Yeah, I'd definitely like a count command for use on wagons and such.

Right now it is in the backburner/undecided list. I do want to implement it, it's just not a priority at the moment. I will probably be updating the COUNT command rather than implementing an entirely new command.

hooray! This will work for crates, barrels, handcarts, wagons and other containers which are on the ground now? This is awesome!

Now all we need is the ability to COUNT for things both on our person and inside containers in the room, gor those moments when you're trying to find something without GETting it for whatever reason. (I'm totally kidding. We don't need to be THAT spoiled.)
