I need a little advice making an extremely simple script.

[esthermoon]

Like I said, this is really simple. I'm pretty new to scripting, and haven't done too much writing code in the past either.

Anyway, my script was to use an Activator (In this case, a rock) and have it pop up with a MessageBox Telling me something, and giving me only one option of replying (In this case "<Take the arrow>"), and then add a particular arrow to my inventory. I made the arrow, and it works fine. My only issue is the whole 'Give the arrow' part. What's the command to do that?

I want to click "<Take the arrow>" and get one arrow. Nothing else special. I was pretty sure it'd be something along the lines of the "player.additem <itemcode>" but it's not making itself obvious. I'm certain that most of you know how to do this, so thanks for any help. :)

 

My current script looks like this:

ScriptName ParagonArrow

Short button

Begin OnActivate 

MessageBox "The Paragon grants you one arrow.", "<Take the arrow>"
Set button to GetButtonPressed
 If ( button == 0 )
  //This is where I'm stuck//
Return

End

 

Again, I'm pretty new to this, I'd appreciate anyone pointing out anything I'm doing wrong. ;)

 

EDIT: I've sussed that it's something to do with IsActionRef player.

I'm going to keep fiddling, I'll mention if I get it to work :)

Yes it is, just use AddItem

so: player.additem yourrarow 1

In CS, you can just use the editor-name you gave to it. (Although you can still use the form-id too.)

Just don't forget to disable the arrow in the rock! (if it was stuck in it...)

Don't worry, I've got it to work now. Well, it lets me save at least.

ScriptName ParagonArrow

Begin OnActivate 

if IsActionRef player == 1
 player.additem 01000ed6 1
Message "The Paragon grants you one arrow." 
 endif

End

 

EDIT: Doesn't work. Doesn't give me an arrow, and the message doesn't come up..

Any ideas?

 

EDIT2: Got it.Works. Don't worry. :DDD
