NVSE function returning ref in pipboy

[rlavlfwo0911]

Is there any function that returns base id in pipboy menu when I selected(left click) an item?

I think this could be used to hotkey quest items.

Here is a script that gets the name of the highlighted item

ScriptName aaTestScript

String_Var TemporaryString

BEGIN MenuMode 1002

Let TemporaryString := GetActiveUIComponentFullName
Let TemporaryString += "\string"
Let TemporaryString := GetUIString $TemporaryString
Print $TemporaryString

END

Getting the names of the highlighted items through this method also means you get the quantity as well, for example: Throwing Spears (10)

You can use the sv_RegExReplace function to remove that, I don't know how adept you are in making regular expressions, I can probably make it for you if you need, though I'm not great at it either.

 

To get the Base ID from a name is a little complicated to explain so once you have the regular expression figured out, I will tell you how.

 

EDIT: Also try GetMenuTargetRef, I haven't tested it but "GetMenuTargetRef 1016" might be exactly what you are looking for.

I think he is asking how can one get the baseID of an object in your inventory when you click it. This reminds me of Oblivion's Cobl, which can let you remove quest items.

 

I would like to know this too. So far I have just created a bat file to turn off the quest item flag for objects in my inventory (like Benny's Lighter) when the related quest is over. The game doesn't remove items or turn off the quest item flag when quests end, leaving the things cluttering up your misc inventory list.

 

Here is my questitems.txt file:

Hiya!

I would love to quickly revive this topic if possible. I am also trying to get the Base ID of inventory items (while hovering over them in the pip-boy). I had no luck with the "GetMenuTargetRef" function.. the "GetActiveUIComponentFullName" works like a charm though!.. however I obviously only get the names now.

How would I get the Base ID from just the name of the item?

Use GetSelectedItemRef instead.

Wow!

Thank you so much! That is SO much easier.. I thought I checked the other JIP UI functions, but obviously missed the exact one I needed :/
