OnItemAdded works for 1 keyword not for the other...

[Reginald001]

Hey all.

 

I'm a bit stumped on the OnItemEvent not firing for the PerkMagKeyword. The things is, the properties seem to be filling up, the code runs the exact same for the pFruitOrVegetable keyword and works beautifully for that, but it does not fire for the pPerkMag keyword and for the life of me I can't figure out why.

 

At first I thought this was an issue with the topic, but I added a message display as debug, this is not displaying. It's simply getting through my 'if item.hasKeyWord' statement.

 

Does anyone know what could be causing this?

I know the player alias is working, otherwise the fruit topic would not be firing.

I know all perkmags have this keyword.

 

The boolean IsWaitingtoSpeak is to prevent my character from interrupting herself when you pick up multiple items.

 

Could it perhaps be that another event is interfering... 'stealing' this particular event before I can catch it?

OK. Weird.. But fixed it after 5 minutes..

 

So this is what was happening:

 

- Ivy would not speak unless "Ivy.IsInScene() == False"

- No scenes would kick off for fruit, or mirelurks.

- A 'regular' follower scene kicks off for the companion, firing a topic about skillbooks.

- This caused Ivy to be 'In a scene'.

- By removing the 'Ivy.IsInScene() == False' from the IF statement, it suddenly worked like a charm.

 

Mystery solved!

 

Just for completion the working script:

    if IvyIsWaitingToSpeak == False && akBaseItem.HasKeyword(pPerkMagKeyword) && Game.GetPlayer().IsInIronSights() == False && Ivy.IsTalking() == False
        IvyIsWaitingToSpeak = True    
        Utility.Wait(1.5)
        IvyIsWaitingToSpeak = False
        Ivy.Say(p_ivy_player_reads_skillbook, Ivy, False, Game.GetPlayer())
        IvyIsWaitingToSpeak = False
    endif
