Remove event item on pickup

[K_Abbage]

So i want to make a script that replaces the items after pickup but it seems to occur before it goes into your inventory.
So of course, it doesn't remove the picked up item. (Also i don't want to cancel the pickup event and then kill the item because i want the pickup animation)

on pickup of any log:
    set {_logcount.%player%} to item amount of event-item
    give {_logcount.%player%} of spruce logs to the player
    remove {_logcount.%player%} of event-item from the player

on pickup:
    event-item is any log:
        set {_logcount.%player%} to amount of event-item
        remove {_logcount.%player%} from player's inventory
        wait 5 ticks
        give player {_logcount.%player%}
