SSE Kunai Daggers. Script advice for switching equipped items.

[silverburst101]

I'm trying to develop a set of Kunai style throwing daggers for my Akiviri Collection mod. I already have the weapon, casting art and animated spinning projectile for the scroll type working, but It would be cool if the dagger was usable as a weapon or throw-able depending on how it was "held".

I've tried to get my head around this but i'm going around in circles.

Is it possible with scripts to add and equip a power when the weapon is equipped so that it is toggle-able between a weapon version and a scroll version.

ie...

dagger is equipped > add toggle power 1>

Use toggle power 1 > remove dagger, add and equip scroll type

(so that when the scroll is cast it disappears as usual and the dagger is already gone.)

or

scroll is equipped> add toggle power 2>

Use toggle power 2> remove scroll, and add and equip dagger

I'm assuming an OnEquipped script extending Object reference for the dagger/ scroll that adds the power and remove item stuff, and an EquipItem on actor to force add and equip the scroll/dagger, but when i comes to how to phrase and implement that I'm lost and losing enthusiasm.

I would love advice from someone versed in this.

Quick a dirty for I need to dash out to work. I only have time to cover the dagger bit.

 

Example on how to handle equipping stuff and doing something when they are equipped:

 

 

Weapon property DaggerWep
 

Event OnObjectEquipped(Form akBaseObject, ObjectReference akReference)
 
    if akBaseObject as Weapon == DaggerWeap
        ...toggle bits here
    endif
 
EndEvent

Thanks for the starting point Rasikko. I'll keep reading up on it. I may have bitten off more that I can chew for my first attempt.
