Scrapping script

[zortbg]

Hello guys,

I'm trying to write a script (I'm really new in modding FALLOUT 3)

and i need some help.

 

Generally my idea is for creating a forge that detects the item weight and

after smashing it - replaces it with scrap metal = item weight.

 

I tried to get the container encumbrance number and put it as a number for the item count for the scrap metal,

 

but i am getting really confused...

 

Can anyone please help me with some ideas/source or maybe someone is interested in creating this kind of plugin?

 

I want to make this because multiple mods are using scrap metal for ammo creation or item creation but

there's just not enough scrap metal around. And why not scrapping items like armor, guns, some pots or some other metal objects

into scrap metal to obtain large quantities of it.

 

Thanks all of you in advance!!!

That particular function is available if you use FOSE. See http://fose.silverlock.org/fose_command_doc.html#GetWeight

Alternatively, wouldn't a non-FOSE option be putting items of a certain weight "class" into a form list, and then using that list to determine how much scrap is output? Say, putting 10mm pistols and spatules into the LightWeightClass list and returning two scrap metal, and putting Chinese Assault Rifles and Vacuum Cleaners into the "medium" weight class, returning six scrap metal? If workable, this would be the most compatible way to go, for people who don't use FOSE.

Nice idea, SATMA :)
