Need Help w/ Scripted Item Display/Weapon Wall

[jtucker40]

Hi guys,

 

I'm currently working on trying to script a simple modification where if a certain reference container contains a specific item, the script enables a referenced object in-game. Basically, I'm trying to something like the weapon wall from Underground Hideout. The base script I'm using as a reference however is not from UH, but instead the script from the TTW Interiors Rivet City player home that displays toys around your house depending on if they're in a chest or not. Here's what I have:

SCN ItemDisplay Script

Begin OnClose DisplayBoxREF

	If DisplayBoxREF.GetItemCount WeapLaserRifle >= 1
		LaserRifleREF.Enable
	endif

	If DisplayBoxREF.GetItemCount WeapLaserRifle == 0
		LaserRifleREF.Disable
	endif
endif
end

Here I'm trying to have a laser rifle static on the wall be displayed whenever a Laser Rifle is placed inside the container "DisplayBoxREF." The script saved fine in the GECK, and I have the script selected in the appropriate box for the Display Box base object, however in-game it doesn't appear to be working. The rifle on the wall is enabled initially, even when there is nothing inside the display box. There didn't seem to be much to the original TTW script, and that worked fine, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I don't know much about scripting so any help would be appreciated.

Made sure I have "persistent reference" ticked on both references and "initially disabled" ticked on the laser rifle but it's still not working. Does anyone know what could be going wrong?

Should try throwing some message displays in there that print out the conditions of what's going on. Can't really put together a script example for you at the moment, though :/.

 

Have you tried running it OnOpen instead? Just a different case, see if that even triggers? Your logic is sound from what I can tell, at the least.
