Retrieving Item Data

[Samustus]

What: Scripting.

 

Example: I need to get the data 'Value' (see weapons) of a specific weapon so I can use the data in an equation. In this case I need to be able to retrieve the cost/price (in caps) of any weapon so I can apply/remove a multiplier.

 

How would I go about getting the cost value? It's driving me mental.

 

 

Thanks.

If you use fose, there is a list of function: http://geck.bethsoft.com/index.php/Category:Functions_%28FOSE%29

Thanks :)

 

Got excited for a sec there, hehe. Those FOSE functions looked really handy.

 

But, I still can't find what I need, though. No worries. I guess I will have to do it all manually. Seems silly as the info is stored anyway.

 

Cheers.

Is GetValue not what you want?

Is GetValue not what you want?

 

I tried that, and I also tried GetItemValue (fose) and neither seem to work.

 

Perhaps I am doing it all wrong. Could someone show me the line(s) needed to extract the cost of an item?

GetValue and GetItemValue are the same function; GetItemValue is simply an alias.

 

The syntax depends on whether you want to use it on a reference or BaseForm:

 

set iValue to rItem.GetValue

OR

set iValue to GetValue SomeBaseForm

 

...where iValue is an int (short) and rItem is a reference. I'm not sure, but I think you can actually use either syntax regardless, although this is the proper method.

Thank you.

 

From your example, I kept trying to use "SomeBaseForm.GetValue".

 

It's a learning experience, that's for sure.

 

I appreciate your time.

 

Sam.

 

P.S. By the way, rItem is a reference? As in a referenced in-world object? If so, then no wonder what I was doing was wrong.

 

EDIT: Just clicked your Feng Shui link and was blown away by the vid. That, my friend, is one of the most incredible mods I've ever seen.
