Difference between revisions of "Adding Working Scripts to Items"

Now that the easy part is done, we will move on to the difficult part. From Gameplay at the top select [[Papyrus Script Manager]], right click on a script and select New. You will be greeted with a dialogue box. (''You could also add the script from the item window by doing "Add" on the script section and choosing new script that way it will default to the right type'')

Because it's an item, it must extend [[ObjectReference_Script|ObjectReference]] because [[OnEquipped_-_ObjectReference|OnEquipped]] is an ObjectReference Script.

Now we can simply just write out our script and save it.

This is the scriptname:

Scriptname tutGlovesofBlizzardScript extends ObjectReference   

In order to use things like [[AddSpell]] and [[AddItem]], you have to make a [[Variables_and_Properties|property]] for them in your script. If not you will get an "Undefined variable" error.

This is our ObjectReference.OnEquipped event. It is important you extend it by ObjectReference in the Scriptname, or else this will not compile properly saying it is "not a valid or non existent function".

     if akActor == Game.GetPlayer()

         Game.GetPlayer().AddSpell(Blizzard, true)

     endIf

This is simply just another event using the same property to remove the spell when the player unequipped it. We only want them to have the spell if they wear it.

     if akActor == Game.GetPlayer()

     endIf

So now that our script is finished, we can save it. Hopefully yours compiles as flawlessly as this example.

Now, we go back to our gloves, and add the script, edit the property and select the spell that will stand in for the Blizzard property.

Now we can test them. I added the gloves in to the game by allowing the players to combine normal elven gauntlets with Frost Salts at the Forge. You can use any method you want to put them in the game.
