Requiring books to unlock new recipes?

[Thicketford]

I've made a custom recipe that uses the cooking pot. Is it possible to hide the recipe until a particular book is read by the player? I've had a look at the conditions available, but I'm not sure if such an option exists. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

it's possible to do it with a script.

Make a script that flips a global when you read the book.

 

Then make the recipe check the global.

Lorecraft has the books give you a perk that can be checked. You could use that.

you only want to use a perk if that perk's actually going to add some new perk entry points to the player.

 

otherwise you should probably just use a global.

I'm completely new to scripting, so please forgive me if any of this sounds dumb.

 

I've created a global with a value of '0'. I believe I've set the conditions in the recipe correctly, so that it will only activate when the global is set to '1'. Now I just need to figure out a script to change the global when I read the book.

 

For reference...

 

Recipe book is 'JournalRecipe'

Global is 'AllowRecipeGlobal'

 

I'm not really sure how I'm supposed to reference the global in the script.

 

 

 

Scriptname allowrecipe extends ObjectReference

ObjectReference property JournalRecipe auto

Event OnRead ()
if !Self.IsRead()
<Not sure what this line should be>
endif
endEvent
