Using ccSensors to detect handheld item

I have been trying to build a program that can do something based on if a player is holding a specific item in their hand. But i have had a huge sum total of zero luck on this project and i could really use some much needed help.

My problem seems to be that I have not been able to figure out exactly how to get the handheld item information out of the returned dictionary from the sensor.

I already have found a good program out there that will output rs signal if someone comes close, but i wanted to modify it so that it would only activate upon that player holding a specific item, like a password of sorts

Are you using ccsensors or open ccsensors? If you are using ccsensors I can not help you since I don't use that.

No I am using just ccsensors

Ok then I cant help you besides that from what i remember of it I'm not sure that it tells you what there holding but that may not be true anymore. Either way id personally switch to openccsensors as i have found it to be more reliable and flexible.
