Why is game ignoring this script?

[Masterofnet]

Scriptname DropIt extends ObjectReference  

Armor Property AR Auto

Event OnContainerChanged(ObjectReference akNewContainer, ObjectReference akOldContainer)
Actor PlayerRef = Game.GetPlayer()
		If PlayerRef == akNewContainer 
PlayerRef.DropObject(Self)
EndIf
EndEvent

Why is the game ignoring Self??? When I replace Self with Ar it works. I have tried Self.GetBaseObject().

 

 

 

Does anyone know?

You can't reference "self" on an item as long as it is in an inventory. You have to pass the base object as a property. Basically as long as an item is in an inventory it's just an entry in a list, not an object with a "self." Of course it's more complicated than that, but that's the quick and dirty way to think about it.

You also aren't doing anything with your property.

Ya I simplified the script. It is used in the real script. If you don't use that in the script it will cause problems?

 

Thanks

Objects inside inventories as far as I know don't have a sense of self (or as least as far as papyrus is concerned) when it comes to object references unless a quest is referencing them in an alias. If this is for just a single specific instance of an item you could probably use a quest alias to allow this to work, if it's for all objects of that base type you will have to place this on that specific form and use a property pointing to the armor form.
