Please Help Finish Mod...

[StrikeForceX]

Hey Guys

I am a noob when it comes to scripting i have read everything i can find about it and the only thing i have achieved is an headache. I have done a lot for a mod and the only thing left to do is to put a script on a sword that when the player equips gives him a set of armor and removes the armor when he unequips. I would be eternally grateful if someone could help

 

Thanks

[WillieSea]

Check out the beginners scripting tutorial in this forum, or there will be no way to help you get the script into your game and working. It will explain that in easy to follow instructions.

 

You will need an event that captures when the armor is equipped and unequipped.

 

OnEquipped

OnUnequipped

 

You will need to add the adding and removing of the armor to the player, as well as the equipping of the newly added armor.

 

AddItem can be used to add your new armor.

RemoveItem can be used to remove it.

EquipItem can be used to force the armor to be worn.

Thanks for the help, That is all i can seem to get out of it all. I understand doing the properties but would i do the Armor as ObjectRef or Armor ? 

 

Event OnEquipped(Actor akActor)

  if akActor == Game.GetPlayer()

Game.GetPlayer().AddItem(DaedricHelmet, 1, true)

Game.GetPlayer().AddItem(DaedricArmor, 1, true)

Game.GetPlayer().AddItem(DaedricGauntlets, 1, true)

Game.GetPlayer().AddItem(DaedricShield, 1, true)

Game.GetPlayer().AddItem(DaedricBoots, 1, true)

      Game.GetPlayer().EquipItem(DaedricHelmet)

Game.GetPlayer().EquipItem(DaedricArmor)

Game.GetPlayer().EquipItem(DaedricGauntlets)

Game.GetPlayer().EquipItem(DaedricShield)

Game.GetPlayer().EquipItem(DaedricBoots)

       EndIf

EndEvent

 

Event OnUnequip(Actor akActor)

  if akActor == Game.GetPlayer()

Game.GetPlayer().UnequipItem(DaedricHelmet)

Game.GetPlayer().UnequipItem(DaedricArmor)

Game.GetPlayer().UnequipItem(DaedricGauntlets)

Game.GetPlayer().UnequipItem(DaedricShield)

Game.GetPlayer().UnequipItem(DaedricBoots)

Game.GetPlayer().RemoveItem(DaedricHelmet, 1)

Game.GetPlayer().RemoveItem(DaedricArmor, 1)

Game.GetPlayer().RemoveItem(DaedricGauntlets, 1)

Game.GetPlayer().RemoveItem(DaedricShield, 1)

Game.GetPlayer().RemoveItem(DaedricBoots, 1)

     EndIf

EndEvent

If you have the armor laying in the world somewhere, you use its 'objectReference'. I would say your not doing that though.

 

So, you point to the 'Armor' property.

 

You also do not need to unequip the armor when you remove it, unless you plan on using vanilla armor.

 

Next, you might want to make the armor unique, so your not messing with vanilla armor objects.

And then also make the Equip so it cannot be removed manually.

[StrikeForceX]

Thanks i am using vanilla armor i am planning on making the armor enchanted so will create new ID for my armor. How would i make it so they cannot drop it ? Would this script i have wrote work ?

Thanks

[WillieSea]

Look at the link for EquipItem above. There is an option to make it so it cannot be removed.

It should work, no way to know for sure until you test it.

 

Detecting 'equip' can sometimes be flunky or not work at all. So its a gamble it seems to me.

[StrikeForceX]

OK will try it, Thank You for all your help

[Cerest]

Remember that there is currently a vanilla bug where EquipItem does not apply the item's enchantments to the player...

[StrikeForceX]

You have the link to the wiki on functions above.

 

You add the true or false flag to the command.

 

Game.GetPlayer().EquipItem(DaedricShield, true, true)

[StrikeForceX]

You need to look at your errors. It gives a line number where the error occurred, then you look at that line and see what you did wrong.

 

EquipItem does not take a numeric parameter.

UnequipItem does not take a numeric parameter.

[StrikeForceX]

Hi i did eventually realise that OnEquip did not need a numeric parameter so removed it and abSilent worked, however i have removed the numeric parameter on UnequippedItem but still has not helped towards getting abPreventRemoval from working. The script is compiling with no errors but abPreventRemoval just will not work. Is there anything else i could try ? Thanks

Edited May 15, 2013 by StrikeForceX

[WillieSea]

You cannot prevent 'removal' when you unequip the item.

 

You can prevent removal by making the object a quest object.

[StrikeForceX]

So do i need to put a script on each of the armor peices ? If so how would i go about that ? Thanks

Edited May 15, 2013 by StrikeForceX

[WillieSea]

To do what?

 

I thought you had the script on a weapon...

[StrikeForceX]

Yes i have the script on a sword. I have all the script working apart from i can still remove the armor i just don't know how to turn the armor into quest items so they can't be removed, it's really confusing me, Lol. It's the only thing left to do on my mod.

Edited May 16, 2013 by StrikeForceX

[WillieSea]

In the object window, double click on your armor to open its properties. There should be a check box to make it a quest item.

 

Another reason why you need to make unique armor since you don't want all your vanilla armor to be 'quest' items.

Edited May 16, 2013 by WillieSea

[StrikeForceX]

Thats what i thought like Oblivion was, check the box to make it a quest item. I cannot find the box anywhere in the window. I have made them unique too. Thanks

[WillieSea]

I don't have Steam running at the moment.

 

It should be a check box on the main part of the properties window. Not one of the tabs. Or if it was on a tab, it would be the first one.

[StrikeForceX]

I can't see a check box or see any Tabs on the Armor window. I aint got a clue now. Thanks anyway you been a big help...

[Walrus]

In the item's alias screen there should be about 14 check boxes at the top right, above the scripts section there should be an option to select "Quest Object" you want to select that one. 

To be honest I have no idea how I got to that screen so.... I believe though that the object had to be already tied to a quest.

 

Also Williesea, your also kinda right. On the majority of other Beth games it's on the object window from what I've been told.

Hope this helps you out StrikeForceX

[WillieSea]

Gadzooks! They are not making it easy, are they.

Yeah, in the previous games, it was part of the object. I never use it so did not know they moved it for Skyrim.

 

I don't make quests so I would be useless in trying to figure that out.
