Getting a stealth cloak to work in-game?

[marieruth]

I managed to figure this out, thanks to all who posted and tried to help me.

 

Hi I'm made an item in the GECK that when equipped, it will enable the stealth cloak while crouching. I created a new object effect in the GECK that includes a Stealth Field +100 and Stealth Cloak (StealthBoyInvis) set at a magnitude of 0, as well as setting a condition to only do it when sneaking. I had the item use the form ID for the object effect I just created. When testing it in game, my character doesn't have a stealth cloak when crouched. Are there any special instructions or something vital I missed in order to get the stealth cloak to function properly?

Hmm try getting the stealth field to work without crouching first..

 

Edit: Actually post a screenshot of the object effect and the base effect if you made one as well.

oh alrighty, well I checked in-game and found that the neither the stealth field nor the "StealthBoyInvis" stealth are shown in the current effects, so I at least know that part. I didn't make a custom "Base Effect" since I thought that I wouldn't need to, but anyway, the screenshots are below

If you have fallout 3 with operation anchorage, you could always open up the fallout 3 GECK and see how it's done there.

I don't have Operation Anchorage for Fallout 3.

So it looks like you have the stealth magnitude set to 0, bump it up to 5. Ignore the extra sneak bunus, and the enchantment effect isn't in New Vegas so you might have to recreate it.

So I have to create a new Base Effect that has the stealth cloak effect in it, right?

 

Okay so I made the stealth cloak base effect thing, and it didn't work when I tested it out. There's a spell that has the stealth kind of effect, but it's an actor effect, and I'm not sure how to implement that into an item, would I need to make a script or something?

Ugh, I just can't figure this out.

 

ScriptName maFreakingStealthManUgh

Begin OnAdd
Player.GetEquipped maArmorInsertStealthCloak
If Player.GetEquipped maArmorInsertStealthCloak && Player.IsSneaking true
CastImmediateOnSelf maStealthF
Endif
End

 

Would this work? ><

Personally, I'm not a good scripter. What I do know however is how to use "Copy and paste" and where to C&P ;) I say this because it might just be easier for you to copy whatever script this mod is using:

Basically what you're trying to accomplish: Equip an item, crouch, cloak engaged. As long as you're not doing a mod meant for public release, copying the script should be fine.

Well it sort of will eventually be for public release, but more importantly, I want to understand how to do it so that I'll know how to properly on my own at another time in case I want to do it again or something.
