SetWeaponAmmo NVSE function is broken?

[HeroinZero]

If I try something like

SetWeaponAmmo AmmoList50MG Weap10mmPistol

or

Weap10mmPistol.SetWeaponAmmo AmmoList50MG

in theory it should make 10 mm pistol use AM rifle ammo but GECK just refuses to compile script with this line, am I doing something wrong?

Nope, you're not doing anything wrong (in the first line anyway - the second one is wrong). The function was added by FOSE originally and doesn't work for NV. It's probably something to do with a weapon's ammo being a formlist in NV, as opposed to a single form in FO3. Edited March 7, 2017 by PushTheWinButton

I'm unfamiliar with the function, but the second way you type it (ref syntax) would not work because you're trying to use it on a base form.

SetWeaponAmmo AmmoList50MG, Weap10mmPistol

compiles fine for me.

What kind of script are you trying to use it in?

 

Edit: ninja'd. I have no idea if it works in-game, but compiling it seems to work.

It works if you save the form list into a ref variable and pass that to the function.

 

Edit: also works the normal way if you use compiler override.

Thanks, override worked, didn't even knew it was a thing.
