Scripting help

[IndySax]

I'm trying to build up a Cleric style set up, so I've altered some of the base dawnguard items. One thing I can't figure out his how to add a power when an item is equipped. I want to add a bone hawk amulet to the game that while its equipped gives me a Guardian Circle power. Does anyone know how to do this, or is it possible to do without custom scripting?

You create an ability, and then use AddSpell to add the ability. Whenever you want to remove the ability, use RemoveSpell Here's how you would script it:

 

 

 

Scriptname MyBoneHawkScript Extends ObjectReference; place this script on the amulet

Spell Property MyAbility Auto; Point this property to your ability
Actor Property PlayerREF Auto; this should autofill. Best way to refer to the player

Event OnEquipped(Actor AkActionRef)

     If (AkActionRef == PlayerREF)

          PlayerREF.AddSpell(MyAbility)

     EndIf

EndEvent


Event OnUnequipped(Actor AkActionRef)

     If (AkActionRef == PlayerREF)

          PlayerREF.RemoveSpell(MyAbility)

     EndIf

EndEvent

To add an ability, you actually add a spell. I believe this is under Magic, and then you add a spell. Here is a guide on the contents of the spell window. You would make it an ability.
