[LE] Help with RefAlias, text replacement, SetDisplayName please!

[irswat]

I'm trying to help watcherzero add a dynamic treasure hunting book to his oblivion artifacts mod. The book lists all items and clues as to the location. When one of the unique items is found a check mark should appear in the book next to the item name to let the player know this item is found. To accomplish this, following a suggestion by cdcooley, I am trying to use text replacement and dummy ref aliases. I created a quest, start enabled, and in the quest I have a ref alias for the book, a ref alias for the player, and a ref alias for just 1 of the items. The item I checked stores text and selected the base object for battle axe of hatred, which is the item in question. I then put together a simple OnItemAdded script with an AddInventoryEventFilter. I pass the filter a formlist with all the items in the oblivion artifacts mod. I then check at what index the item added is in the formlist and change the display name for the corresponding dummy ref alias to "[X]". I attach this script to the player ref alias.

the text of the oblivion artifact guide is this: <Alias=OblivionArtifactRefAlias63> - Battleaxe of Hatred: Embershard Mine on a shelf.

Scriptname OblivionArtifactsAliasFilter extends ReferenceAlias

FormList Property OblivionArtifactsItemsFormList Auto
ReferenceAlias Property OblivionArtifactRefAlias63 Auto

Event OnInit()   
    AddInventoryEventFilter(OblivionArtifactsItemsFormList)  
endEvent   
  
Event OnItemAdded(Form akBaseItem, int aiItemCount, ObjectReference akItemReference, ObjectReference akSourceContainer)   
        int i
	i=OblivionArtifactsItemsFormList.Find(akBaseItem)
	i+=1 ;formlist starts at index 0
	
	if i==63	;Battleaxe of Hatred
		akItemReference.SetDisplayName("[X]")
	endif
endEvent

the two properties are filled properly I think. Yet when I try to compile the above script I'm getting this message: SetDisplayName is not a function or does not exist.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here?

That is an skse function, so have you install skse correctly?

[foamyesque]

SetDisplayName is a SKSE function. Do you have SKSE?

[irswat]

I do have SKSE and I extracted the scripts to the scripts folder. Is there a special way to open creation kit with SKSE?

EDIT: Solved. I must have missed something. I recopied the scripts from the SKSE zip to data and now the script compiles! thanks

OK, I attached the script to the player refalias and add both the book and the battleaxe via console. The Book reads "Battleaxe of Hatred: Embershard Mine on a shelf." Unfortunately even though the battleaxe has been added to the player container I'm not getting an [X]. The addinventoryeventfilter is being added (debug message), with a formlist containing the base forms of all the items. For some reason adding battleaxe of hatred via console doesn't trigger the onitemadded event (no debug message). Any ideas?

edit: the formlist has base objects, but the item added is an object reference and I think it has something to do with this. In that case how does one capture object references being added to inventory?

That weapon is probably non-persistent, meaning akitemreference will return none.

 

So instead you can try using akBaseItem as weapon to catch that weapon, maybe even using a filter, or further coding to narrow down the exact weapon.

i actually fixed the addinventoryeventfilter, there were several things wrong, including needing optional checked, filling the alias correctly, and the i+1 logic was wrong. the last problem i have is figuring out how to get SetDisplayName to work for the refalias. So far no luck.
