1. put the small chest in a secret combo slot, like 16.

2. Hold down Ctrl while clicking on the chest in 16 to place flag 10 (armos=item) as flag 16's secondary flag.

3. set flag 16 on layer 0 on the screen.

4. set screen data enemy = secrets

5. select room type special item.

6. select the item to be in the chest.

7. set your open chest as the undercombo.

You have to make the chest out of lock blocks. Put the item inside it so that Link won't be able to grab it without unlocking the chest. If you're using a small chest, make it unwalkable and put another lock block on the floor in front of it and have the top half unwalkable, otherwise Link will be able to reach the item anyway.

The next version of ZC will make chests a lot easier.

How do you put the item inside the chest. I tried this once before using lock blocks and it didn't give me the item I wanted. Do I set it to armos->item?

With lock blocks you have to set the room item and position it inside the chest. Of course, it'll show over the chest this way, so what you want to do is put the lid on layer 3 or higher so it will cover the item.
