substitute for Game.Getplayer() wanted.

Well it compiled thx. now to go test it out.

I usually use Actor Property PlayerRef Auto Const for anytime I use the PlayerRef more than once/twice in my scripts. You can also look at filling aliases if you want to go that far but just making the single actor a property is good enough IMO.

"Actor Property ActorRef Auto" worked perfectly thank you. It seems all so obvious once you know but it has been driving me crazy for days. :)

Haha yeah its like that with code. It's a real epiphany when you final get it :D. Have fun!

"Actor Property ActorRef Auto" worked perfectly thank you. It seems all so obvious once you know but it has been driving me crazy for days. :smile:

Yeah that compiled, but I'm waiting for you to come back and say it doesn't work in game, then I can say because that property is either none(if you don't set it) or you set it to a specific actor(to which the script will then only run if that specific actor is equipping it.)

 

You could have simply used akActor straight from the Event so that it knows to work on ANY actor that equips the object.

 

So I think you missunderstood SMB92's post. His example is the alternative to using Game.GetPlayer().. and you need to fill it with PlayerRef.

 

Actor property ActorRef auto = either an actor set in the CK or <none>.. so the event will spit an error out saying "can't so and so to a none actor".

 

So I made some changes to your original script. Not compiled but the general idea is all there.

Scriptname CGXAM_GhostGoggles extends ObjectReference

Armor Property CGXAM_CourserGhostX92Goggles Auto

Keyword property CGXAMGhostX92GogglesDown auto
Keyword property CGXAMGhostX92GogglesUp auto
Keyword property CGXAMGhostX92GogglesPulsingDown auto
Keyword property CGXAMGhostX92GogglesPulsingUp auto
Keyword property CGXAMGhostX92GogglesAnimated auto
Keyword property CGXAMWearingGhostX92Goggles auto

ObjectMod Property CGXAM_mod_CourserGhostX92GogglesDown Auto
ObjectMod Property CGXAM_mod_CourserGhostX92GogglesUp Auto
ObjectMod Property CGXAM_mod_CourserGhostX92GogglesPulsingDown Auto
ObjectMod Property CGXAM_mod_CourserGhostX92GogglesPulsingUp Auto

Actor ActorRef ; YOU NEED THIS VARIABLE SO YOU CAN USE THE EQUIPPING ACTOR VAR IN THE ANIMATION EVENT

Event OnEquipped(Actor akActor)
    ; Use akActor in this event block because the script will know its for any actor.
    ActorRef = akActor ; For use in the Animation Event block.
    If (akActor.wornhaskeyword(CGXAMGhostX92GogglesAnimated))
        RegisterForAnimationEvent(ActorRef, "WeaponDraw")
        RegisterForAnimationEvent(ActorRef, "WeaponSheathe")
        if (akActor.IsWeaponDrawn() == true)
            If (akActor.wornhaskeyword(CGXAMGhostX92GogglesUp))
                AttachMod(CGXAM_mod_CourserGhostX92GogglesDown)
            ElseIF (akActor.wornhaskeyword(CGXAMGhostX92GogglesPulsingUp))
                AttachMod(CGXAM_mod_CourserGhostX92GogglesPulsingDown)
            EndIf
        ElseIF (akActor.IsWeaponDrawn() == false)
            If (akActor.wornhaskeyword(CGXAMGhostX92GogglesDown))
                AttachMod(CGXAM_mod_CourserGhostX92GogglesUp)
            ElseIF (akActor.wornhaskeyword(CGXAMGhostX92GogglesPulsingDown))
                AttachMod(CGXAM_mod_CourserGhostX92GogglesPulsingDown)
            EndIf
        EndIf
    EndIf
EndEvent

Event OnAnimationEvent(ObjectReference akSource, string asEventName)
    If (ActorRef.wornhaskeyword(CGXAMGhostX92GogglesAnimated))
        if (akSource == ActorRef) && (asEventName == "WeaponDraw")
            If (ActorRef.wornhaskeyword(CGXAMGhostX92GogglesUp))
                AttachMod(CGXAM_mod_CourserGhostX92GogglesDown)
            ElseIF (ActorRef.wornhaskeyword(CGXAMGhostX92GogglesPulsingUp))
                AttachMod(CGXAM_mod_CourserGhostX92GogglesPulsingDown)

                AttachMod(CGXAM_mod_CourserGhostX92GogglesPulsingUp)
            EndIf
        EndIf
    EndIf
endEvent

Event OnUnequipped(Actor akActor)
    if akActor == ActorRef ; WILL CHECK IF ACTORREF IS THE SAME ACTOR THAT EQUIPPED THIS.
        If !(ActorRef.wornhaskeyword(CGXAMWearingGhostX92Goggles ))
            UnregisterForAnimationEvent(Game.GetPlayer(), "WeaponDraw")
            UnregisterForAnimationEvent(Game.GetPlayer(), "WeaponSheathe")
        EndIf
    EndIf
EndEvent

Yep, set to none in creation kit, works perfectly in game still.
