Getting access to NPC equipped items through Papyrus

[MRWalther]

Hi,

 

I'm currently trying to write a script that can return properties of equipped items using actor.GetWornForm() and actor.GetEquippedItemType(). It works well on the player character but for NPCs it returns "none" for worn form and "0" for equipped weapon, even if they have weapons and armor parts equipped. Is there a specific way to use these commands on NPCs?

Where are you calling the scripts from? Are they attached to an alias, a quest, the actual actor because it all makes a difference to the way they should be called within the script whereas it's easier for the player as you just call Game.GetPlayer(). Perhaps you could post the script.

The script is attached to the actor through an ability. It's given to the player with a quest and to NPCs when they hit the player for the first time.

Scriptname MVActorEquippedItems extends activemagiceffect  

Actor selfActor

int headPartRating
int armsPartRating
int bodyPartRating
int legsPartRating
int armorPartRating

Event OnInit()
	armor headArmor = selfActor.GetWornForm(0x00000002) as armor
	armor armsArmor = selfActor.GetWornForm(0x00000008) as armor
	armor bodyArmor = selfActor.GetWornForm(0x00000004) as armor
	armor legsArmor = selfActor.GetWornForm(0x00000080) as armor
	
	Debug.Notification("Head : "+headArmor)
	Debug.Notification("Arms : "+armsArmor)
	Debug.Notification("Body : "+bodyArmor)
	Debug.Notification("Legs : "+legsArmor)
	
	rightHandWeaponType = selfActor.GetEquippedItemType(1)
	leftHandWeaponType = selfActor.GetEquippedItemType(0)
	
	Debug.Notification("Right hand : "+rightHandWeaponType)
	Debug.Notification("Left hand : "+leftHandWeaponType)
EndEvent

You are using the wrong event type and it seems to me that selfActor is not being assigned any value unless I'm missing something but if you were using the right event then it is unnecessary anyway to have that variable as the event returns the actor to which the effect is applied (akTarget). Here it should look a little more like this:

Scriptname MVActorEquippedItems extends activemagiceffect  

int headPartRating
int armsPartRating
int bodyPartRating
int legsPartRating
int armorPartRating

Event OnEffectStart(Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster)
	armor headArmor = akTarget.GetWornForm(0x00000002) as armor
	armor armsArmor = akTarget.GetWornForm(0x00000008) as armor
	armor bodyArmor = akTarget.GetWornForm(0x00000004) as armor
	armor legsArmor = akTarget.GetWornForm(0x00000080) as armor
	
	Debug.Notification("Head : "+headArmor)
	Debug.Notification("Arms : "+armsArmor)
	Debug.Notification("Body : "+bodyArmor)
	Debug.Notification("Legs : "+legsArmor)
	
	rightHandWeaponType = akTarget.GetEquippedItemType(1)
	leftHandWeaponType = akTarget.GetEquippedItemType(0)
	
	Debug.Notification("Right hand : "+rightHandWeaponType)
	Debug.Notification("Left hand : "+leftHandWeaponType)
EndEvent

Thanks a lot! It works! I should have thought about the event :dry:
