UnequipItem(Self)

[paulatreides0]

Hey, sorry to be back yet again, but I've stumbled across something that has me scratching my head big time again. I was trying to change some code to see if I could make it easier to work with and more efficient, so I decided to try using keyword pulls instead of iterating through form lists. My code is as follows:

1. Scriptname RestrictionFunctions:HeavyRangedWeaponry extends ObjectReference Const
   
2. 
   
3. 
   
4. Message Property CantEquipWearPA Auto Const
   
5. 
   
6. 
   
7. Perk Property HeavyGunner1 Auto Const
   
8. 
   
9. 
   
10. Perk Property StrongBack1 Auto Const
    
11. 
    
12. 
    
13. Keyword Property isPowerArmorFrame Auto Const
    
14. 
    
15. 
    
16. Keyword Property HeavyRangedWeapon Auto Const
    
17. 
    
18. 
    
19. ActorValue Property Strength Auto Const
    
20. 
    
21. 
    
22. Event OnEquipped(Actor AkActor)
    
23. 
    
24. 
    
25. If (Self.HasKeyword(HeavyRangedWeapon) == True && akActor.IsInPowerArmor() == false)
    
26. 
    
27. 
    
28. If (akActor.HasPerk(StrongBack1) == false || akActor.HasPerk(HeavyGunner1) == false || akActor.GetBaseValue(Strength) < 8)
    
29. 
    
30. akActor.UnequipItem(Self, True, True)
    
31. 
    
32. 
    
33. CantEquipWearPA.Show()
    
34. 
    
35. 
    
36. endIf
    
37. endIf
    
38. 
    
39. 
    
40. endEvent
    
41. 
    
42. 
    
43. 
    
44. Event Actor.OnItemUnequipped(Actor akSender, Form akBaseObject, ObjectReference akReference)
    
45. 
    
46. 
    
47. If akBaseObject.HasKeyword(isPowerArmorFrame) == True ; Check if the player did unequip Power Armor
    
48. 
    
49. If akSender.GetEquippedWeapon().HasKeyword(HeavyRangedWeapon)
    
50. 
    
51. 
    
52. If (akSender.HasPerk(StrongBack1) == false || akSender.HasPerk(HeavyGunner1) == false || akSender.GetBaseValue(Strength) < 8)
    
53. 
    
54. akSender.UnequipItem(akSender.GetEquippedWeapon(), True, True)
    
55. 
    
56. 
    
57. CantEquipWearPA.Show()
    
58. 
    
59. 
    
60. endIf
    
61. endIf
    
62. 
    
63. 
    
64. endIf
    
65. 
    
66. 
    
67. EndEvent
    

The problem is that it seems that akActor.UnequipItem(Self, True, True) isn't working. And it should, from what I can tell. The script is applied to a weapon so that on being equipped that specific instance of the weapon is what the script is being run on.

It DOES properly check itself and say "Do I have this Keyword?" And I know it does that because the CantEquipPA.Show() event happens, but it does not unequip itself from the actor. Any idea what is going on?

You may want to try this:

akActor.UnequipItem(Self.GetBaseObject(), True, True)

akActor.UnequipItem(Self.GetBaseObject(), True, True)

 

Hmm, I'll try it. If you don't mind my asking though, I don't get why that's the case.

 

Isn't self already an instance of the item in question? So if the item is, say, a Gatling Laser, it should know that I'm asking it to unequip not just a gatling laser, but that specific gatling laser in question, no?

Your script is running on an Objectreference, whereas the UnequipItem function is expecting a Form. Objectreference.GetBaseObject() returns a Form. Edited August 2, 2016 by Reneer

Ahh, I see. Thank you!
