Scripting Help: Getting Item to Remove Itself

[feanor3791]

Hi all;

I need the assistance of one of you scripting gurus. I've created a Welkynd Stone that can be used to enchant, following the example of the Varla Enchanting mod. I created a script that adds the special Welkynd to inventory when a normal one is picked up, and removes a normal one from the inventory. But it only works if the player already has another normal Welkynd in inventory: otherwise, the game freezes or crashes. I've tried using RemoveMe, getting an item count to make sure one's in inventory before removing, and various other things, all with either the same result or just not removing the stone at all.

So how exactly do you get an item to remove itself from inventory?

Thanks in advance.

You should get the desired result if you attach this script to the WelkyndStone Misc. item in the CS:

scn FearorWelkyndStoneAddScript


Begin OnActivate Player


Player.addItem FeanorWelkyndStone 1

Disable


End

^That should disable the vanilla welkynd stone while adding yours to the Player at the same time.

Note: This won't affect welkynd stones found in random loot.

Thanks, buddy; going to try this right now. Would've replied sooner, but my computer crashed a few days ago and I just got it up again. Burned out my video card playing Oblivion.

Lol, I did the same thing not two weeks ago. My old NVidia 9800 decided it just couldn't handle Oblivion any more and committed sudoku. Uh, I mean, seppuku.
