Begin GameMode

[David Brasher]

How do you say the following in Papyrus?

 

Begin GameMode
   If Player.GetItemCount  MyItem >= 1
       *Do Stuff*
   EndIf
End

 

I am afraid I am not going to like the answer. It looks like the Skyrim scripts to perform checks like this are five times as long and perhaps come in a complex of several interrelated scripts with properties. I cannot figure out what triggers these scripts to fire the function thingy.

 

Like how are we supposed to code simple quests? ("Bring me one apple.") You could have it be a quiet quest without a lot of quest updates, but what if you want an update in the middle? ("You have found one apple! Return to that quest-giver dude!")

 

You can't be putting scripts on every apple in the world. That is not nice.

That depends on exactly what you want to do... One way to do it would be through a reference alias.

 

Scriptname ExampleScript extends ReferenceAlias
{Reference alias filled by the player.}

Potion Property FoodApple Auto
{Foods are considered potions...}

Event OnItemAdded(Form akBaseItem, int aiItemCount, ObjectReference akItemReference, ObjectReference akSourceContainer)
if (akBaseItem == FoodApple)
	;do stuff
endif
EndEvent
