adding holotape to player inventory

[simonici]

HI, just a quick question that i cant seem to solve myself. how do i add an item like a holtape straight to the players inventory. like when u install a mod and when u first load up the game the holotape gets added to your inventory.

you could create a misc quest with one stage that runs on start

in that stage, just add a Holotape Property (Type: Holotape, Name: Whatever you want) and have its value pointing to your Holotape you want to be put in the player's inventory and in the Stage add this script script fragment:

 

Game.GetPlayer().Additem(HolotapeProperty)

 

where HolotapeProperty is whatever name you gave to your property.

thank you very much

It should be noted that this has complications sometimes (most/all?) if the player is starting an absolute new game. I and many others had to create a watcher to wait for the vault exit script to fire and then add it. Otherwise sometimes it doesn't show up in inventory or the quest fails.

u can go actors-player-inventory and add it there )
