Summary0002308: itemdef0, chardef0, typedef0, etc.
Descriptioni would like the possibility to check if a specific definition exists or not.
for example .show serv.itemdef.i_double works (returns 0) but also throws an error to the logfile.
show serv.itemdef.i_doublet instead works fine.
serv.itemdef0.i_double to handle those error-messages. Also to have this ability for all other definitions would be nice. :)

I reported it some months ago too
to prevent console error you need to use DEF to check if the item exists

IF (<DEF0.i_doublet>) || (<DEF0.c_man>) || (<DEF0.t_normal>)
  ...
ENDIF

this can prevent console errors on scripts, but can't prevent when some GM try to add manually an itemdef that doesn't exist (using '.add i_something')

The problem with this is that the error comes from not being able to resolve the defname to an internal value.
Like Coruja mentioned, use DEF0.<value> to check if that defname exists, there is no point in adding itemdef0, chardef0, typedef0, and more to do exactly what DEF0 already does.
