Scripting help - added to inventory event

[tweakyllama]

Hey,

 

I'm trying to get an object to perform an action (add a keyword or store a reference) on a companion or settler when the player adds it to their inventory. I've looked at the OnContainerChanged event, but this seems to give an ObjectReference and I can't find a way to check if this is an Actor let alone a potential follower. Is there an easier way to go about this?

You will want to post the source of the script you are working on if you want people to help you. :)

If you would like to check if the old container or new container is an actor in the OnContainerChanged() event then cast them as an actor to check..

Event OnContainerChanged(ObjectReference akNewContainer, ObjectReference akOldContainer)
    If (Game.GetPlayer() == akOldContainer) && (akNewContainer As Actor)
        Faction PotentialCompanionFaction = Game.GetFormFromFile(0x001EC1B9, "Fallout4.esm") As Faction
        Bool bIsPotComp = (akNewContainer As Actor).IsInFaction(PotentialCompanionFaction)
        If bIsPotComp
            Debug.Notification("Player Added This Item To A Potential Companion")
        Else
            Debug.Notification("Player Added This Item To A NON Potential Companion")
        EndIf
    EndIf
EndEvent

Ah thank you. That's the key info I was missing. I will try it when I get home
