OnItemAdded Attached to Player Doesn't Fire

[Phoenixia1177]

I was testing why something wouldn't work and determined that OnItemAdded wasn't firing. So, I made a very simple script and attached it to the player usin a reference alias with a quest to attach:

Scriptname playerTestSCRIPT extends ReferenceAlias  
 
Message Property GateLocked auto
 
Event OnItemAdded(Form akBaseItem, Int aiItemCount, ObjectReference akItemReference, ObjectReference akSourceContainer)
	GateLocked.Show()
endEvent

The message never shows, no matter what I pick up or how long I wait.

 

So, assuming maybe I screwed something up with the alias part, I attached:

Scriptname playerBadIdeaTestSCRIPT extends Actor 
 
Message Property GateLocked Auto
 
Event OnItemAdded(Form akBaseItem, Int aiItemCount, ObjectReference akItemReference, ObjectReference akSourceContainer)
	GateLocked.Show()
endEvent

Directly to the player in a fresh esp with nothing else. It still never does anything.

 

I'm assuming that I'm doing something dumb (I'm not new to coding, just to Papyrus). Ultimately, I need the game to check whenever an item is added to the player's inventory, then do something if it is an item with a certain keyword - everything in that larger script seemed perfectly fine, it just never seemed to run. At any rate, thank you for any help, this has been frustrating me all night.

OnItemAdded - ObjectReference

You must use AddInventoryEventFilter to receive this event, letting it know what items you care about.

 

AddInventoryEventFilter - ScriptObject

OnItemAdded/Removed will not be sent to any container scripts not having filters.

Thank you! I kept looking at the Skyrim page (I didn't know they put up the FO4 ones yet). Again, thank you, this made my night:-)
