Weapon Scripting Help!

[ashjay101]

Hey all, am working on a mod and am at a bit of a block

 

Im working on a weapon, I want something to happen when its in the players inventory/being used by the player but something different to happen when its in any other npcs inventory/being used by an NPC (dont think OnAdd would work) any suggestions?

 

Ideally Id want something like:

 

Begin Gamemode

If (Is being used by player, this is the command im looking for) set PlayerUse to 1

else

Set PlayerUse to 0

Endif

End

 

Begin OnFire

If PlayerUse == 1

stuff

Else

more stuff

endif

end

maybe something like this?

int PlayerUse

begin OnEquip Player
    set PlayerUse to 1
END

begin OnFire
    if PlayerUse == 1
        *whatever you want to happen*
    EndIf
END

begin OnUnequip Player
    set PlayerUse to 0
END

The solution that comes to my mind would be to have a Player Only and a Non-Playable version of the weapon, each individually scripted with the appropriate effect.

 

Have an Onadd block on the the Player Only version that gives NPCs the Non-Playable version when it's added to their inventory.

 

This illusion is breakable unless you flag the NPC version as undroppable, but I think that's a small price for simplicities sake. (I think Unplayable makes it undroppable anyway.)

I'm not sure about a clean way to remove the non-playable version when taking the Player version to fully sell the illusion, but I'm sure there's an answer.
