Adding script to a weapon

[porroone]

So basically im trying to add an script to a weapon, but im not sure what im doing wrong, im trying something very simple but it doesnt seem to work, I was hoping somebody could point me in the right direction, here is the code:

Scriptname WarGlaiveBack extends Actor
import debug
import game
import utility
Event OnObjectUnequipped(Form WarGlaiveR, ObjectReference akActor)
Debug.MessageBox("Hello, world!")
EndEvent

 

Basically I have a weapon named WarGlaiveR, and I want it to show a messagebox when I unequipped.

Try

Scriptname _Weapon_test extends ObjectReference  
{Weapon Script}

Event OnUnequipped (Actor AkActor)

if AkActor == Game.GetPlayer()
	debug.MessageBox("Hello World!")
endif


EndEvent

Didn't work, I tried several combinations including declaring the weapon as a property, using the WEAPON extend, using event OnObjectUnequipped(Weapon WarGlaiveR), tried so many tings that something should had work, or at least gave me something, but no, instead all I got is a perfect compiled script, with zero results after unequipping the weapon on all attempts which after a few hours I find a bit frustrating, so Im gonna go sleep hoping tomorrow ill see things clearly :P

The script works for me, did you copy the line "Scriptname _Weapon_test extends ObjectReference " by chance and leave it in with another Scriptname line?

[porroone]

Yes, why would the name matter ?

The script on the sword wouldn't work since the name changed during the runtime of the script.

Just create a new script with the

Event OnUnequipped (Actor AkActor)

       if AkActor == Game.GetPlayer()
               debug.MessageBox("Hello World!")
       endif


EndEvent

part of the script and below what's in there by default.

I think I missunderstood you, I left the original scriptname, the one that matches the name of the file as the wiki says it should, otherwise it doesnt let you compile anyways.

[needsaname]

Oh I see. Wonder why it doesn't work for you? It works every time with me...

Im starting to think its because I already had the weapon in the inventory when I added the script to it, maybe if I make a new save without the mod then activate the mod again and recraft the weapon, any idea if that could be the reason? I think I had a similar issue back in oblivion but Im not sure.
