Item Duplicator

[Xiron]

Alright, I was wondering if it was possible to make a script similar to the Archmage Chest script that would double the amount of any item placed in it. And I DO mean any item- vanilla item or from a mod. I know that a similar effect with mod-added ingredients is done through OBSE in this mod here: Arch-mage Chest Upgrade - OBSE

 

As a clearer explanation, say I place 25 mod-added arrows in a container with this script on it. After the effect takes place I should now have 50 of the same arrows, enchanted or not. Same for equipment- I put one in, after effect I get 2 out, exact same, enchantment and all.

 

If keeping the enchantment is simply not possible, then base itemtype will do. If this is even possible at all, that is. Thanks in advance for whatever may come, and hopefully someone else may get some use out of this idea if it can be made.

I know of no such mod specifically, but the Mod "Advanced Magecraft" allows cloning of any item. I've been using it for about a month. As scripted it costs money to clone, but there's an included ini file if you must make it more of a cheat item than it is, but for my character who has worked to become a powerful wealthy mage, it's perfect.

i would take a look on it...

 

thanks..

Heh. With a short look-through of the OBSE functions, I think that I can do this. Will edit post and upload the file if and when it's working.

You don't need OBSE for this, just look at the original duplication script.

[Xiron]

Yes, actually you do. You need it for non-vanilla items, as vanilla oblivion has no power over mod-added items. You need OBSE to allow the script to duplicate ANY item, no matter what mod it came from. I've gotten it to work, just working on detaching it from the MG19 chest.

 

EDIT: As I promised, here is the code. It will double the number of ANY item you place within the chest, enchantments and all, from any mod, or anything. If you don't like some of the settings, change them. Also I assume the people here know enough to copy/paste to change scripts. Unless someone wishes to tell me how to create an entirely new plugin.....I'm a bit new to modding, but good at scripting in general. Feel free to makean actual plugin out of this and upload it anywhere, but please note me in the credits, as well as the original code that I edited to do this, author LazMonk of this beautiful piece of script which showed me the power of OBSE and inspired this: Link

Another note: This script is not tied to the chest in the archmage's quarters, other than currently using all of the same timers, so other containers running the MG19 script will work with this. I have not, however, tried putting stuff in 2 containers running this script, and I wouldn't reccomend it. But if someone can figure out a way to completely detach it from the MG19 timers and such, please do so and re-upload it for the benefit of all.

Aaah, that didn't ocure to me. Nice one.

[simonp92]

i am sorry.. but could you release this on TES nexus??

an esp?

[Xiron]

Would that I knew how to make an esp out of it, lol. I know enough to modify existing ones, but I never did figure out how to make one from nothing. I haven't read any tutorials, you see...self-taught. I will take a look and see if I can find how to do so on the net.

 

EDIT: Rejoice all, the file is uploaded and the link follows. Press that little kudos button on the side if you like it, small modification that it is it's still useful. =)
