picking up stuff

[xxxXx]

I'm lost here: how do I make a char pick up stuff (ie. I have a helper that is a sword or whatever  and I want my char to pick it up)...

When the helper is a certain distance from the parent it uses parentvarset to tell the parent that it is close. The parent may then pick it up. The helper uses parentdist to detect how close it's parent is.
