Form.HasKeyword

In Papyrus, forms can no longer be referred to directly by editorID. Instead, you need to make a property, and assign the form as the value of that property. For example:

KeyWord property MyKeyWord auto

You can then use that property as a parameter of Form.HasKeyword

Thank you very much for the prompt response! So would it work if I did, for instance:

KeyWord property ArmorCuirassKeyword auto
;...
if (akBaseItem.HasKeyword(ArmorCuirassKeyword))
; do stuff
endif

Well, trying that now. Do I have to call the variable a specific name, as I'm trying to check a pre-existing keyword already on some items? — dwarduk (T/C) 18:09, 7 February 2012 (EST)

It shouldn't need a specific name, although I've heard that if you give it an editorID as a name its default value will be set to the form with that editorID, so if you're only planning on doing this with one keyword then that might be a good choice. Other than that, you can treat a property pretty similarly to a variable.

Remember that you'll need to assign the correct form as the value of the parameter in the dialogue window for whatever your script is attached to.

Also, it is possible to do this without using a property, provided that the Keyword being used is a parameter of an event or other function, like akBaseItem in your example.

Ok, got it, I think. I'll read through the tutorials tomorrow as it seems quite different to Oblivion scripting to me. Thanks for all the help :) — dwarduk (T/C) 18:24, 7 February 2012 (EST)
