`item *reloadable = nullptr;
{
    int reloadable_pos;
    std::stringstream ss(act->name);
    ss >> reloadable_pos;
    reloadable = &p->i_at(reloadable_pos);
}`  
From the code that comes after this I’m pretty sure it gets the item that you’re trying to reload and assigns it to reloadable.

What do act-\>name and &p-\>i\_at(reloadable\_pos) do?

Just from a glance, it looks like act-\>name is storing the position of the item to reload (as a string for some reason), and then ss \>\> reloadable\_pos converts this string into an int, then it is picking the item at that position from the players inventory with &p-\>i\_at(reloadable\_pos).

What do you mean by position?

Where in the player’s internal code representing the inventory the item is located. It really should be using the position parameter according to [https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/blob/master/doc/PLAYER\_ACTIVITY.md](https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/blob/master/doc/PLAYER_ACTIVITY.md).
