# gui/create-item

Command: `gui/create-item`

Magically summon any item.

This tool provides a graphical interface for creating items of your choice. It walks you through the creation process with a series of prompts, asking you for the type of item, the material, the quality, and (if `--multi` is passed on the commandline) the quantity.

Be sure to select a unit before running this tool so the created item can have a valid “creator” assigned.

See also createitem or modtools/create-item for different interfaces for creating items.

## Usage

    gui/create-item [<options>]

## Examples

`gui/create-item --restrictive --multi`

  Only provide options for creating items that normally exist in the game. Also include the prompt for quantity so you can create more than just one item at a time.

`gui/create-item`

  Create one item made of anything in the game. For example, you can create a bar of vomit.

## Options

`--multi`

  Also prompt for the quantity of items to create.

`--unit <id>`

  Use the specified unit as the “creator” of the generated item instead of the selected unit.

`--restrictive`

  Restrict the material options to only those that are normally appropriate for the selected item type.

`--startup`

  Instead of showing the item creation interface, start monitoring reactions for a modded reaction with a code of `DFHACK_WISH`. When a reaction with that code is completed, show the item creation gui. This allows you to mod in “wands of wishing” that can let your adventurer make wishes for items.
