How to assign an owner to an item

[ImaNewb]

How would I assign an owner to an item? For example a holiday ticket can only be used by its owner or a new player ticket. I was looking at how the new player ticket was assigned and this is what I saw. In charactercreation.cs there is this line

if ( young )
            {
                NewPlayerTicket ticket = new NewPlayerTicket();
                ticket.Owner = newChar;
                newChar.BankBox.DropItem( ticket );
            }

which says the ticket owner is newChar

In the script below I am trying to make a prize ticket but how would you assign the "Player" that owns the ticket? I would like the owner to be the first player that double clicks the ticket. I was thinking I could set the owner in the "public override void OnDoubleClick( Mobile from )" Any thoughts on how I could do this?

I tried something similar to

else if ( ticket.Player = null )
            {
                ticket.Player = m_Player;
            }

but that doesn't work.

Here is the script I am working on:

using Server.Mobiles;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace Server.Misc
{
    class PrizeTicket : Item
    {

        private PlayerMobile m_Player;

        [CommandProperty(AccessLevel.Administrator)]
        public PlayerMobile Player
        {
            get
            {
                return m_Player;
            }
            set
            {
                m_Player = value;
            }
        }

        public PrizeTicket() : this(null)
        {
        }

        [Constructable]
        public PrizeTicket(PlayerMobile mobile) : base(0x14F0)
        {
            m_Player = mobile;
            Name = "This is a prize ticket! This ticket will only work for YOU, so don't give it away!";
            Weight = 1.0;
            LootType = LootType.Newbied;
       
        }

        public override void OnDoubleClick( Mobile from )
        {
            PrizeTicket ticket = new PrizeTicket();
       
            if ( from != m_Player )
            {
                from.SendLocalizedMessage( 501926 ); // This isn't your ticket! Shame on you! You have to use YOUR ticket.
            }
            else if ( !IsChildOf( from.Backpack ) )
            {
                from.SendLocalizedMessage( 1042001 ); // That must be in your pack for you to use it.
            }
        }
   
        public PrizeTicket(Serial serial)
            : base(serial)
        {
        }

        public override void Serialize(GenericWriter writer)
        {
            base.Serialize(writer);

            writer.Write((int)0); // version

            writer.WriteMobile(m_Player);
        }

        public override void Deserialize(GenericReader reader)
        {
            base.Deserialize(reader);

            int version = reader.ReadInt();

            m_Player = reader.ReadMobile() as PlayerMobile;
        }
    }
}

I think this is what you want:

        public override void OnDoubleClick( Mobile from )
        {
            if (m_Player == null && from is PlayerMobile)
            {
                m_Player = from as PlayerMobile;
                from.SendMessage( "This prize ticket is now assigned to you." ); // No Cliloc entry for this
            }
            else if ( from != m_Player )
            {
                from.SendLocalizedMessage( 501926 ); // This isn't your ticket! Shame on you! You have to use YOUR ticket.
            }
            else if ( !IsChildOf( from.Backpack ) )
            {
                from.SendLocalizedMessage( 1042001 ); // That must be in your pack for you to use it.
            }
            else
            {
                // Here you do whatever it is the Prize Ticket does when the Owner uses it.
            }
        }

Thanks Lokai! I just got home from work and it works great. That's exactly what I was wanting to do. Cheers!
