Looking for a way to get the formID of the highlighted item in the inventory

[Hjorr]

Hello Everyone,

I'm trying to get the formID of the item that has got mouse focus on while in the inventory, In other words, the item which is highlighted, not necessarily activated.

I've done some research, and I think that I have found what I need, but I can't seem to make it work properly.

My script compiles with no errors but the notification displays Item = None on the "activate" while in inventory Keyup event.

Other users seem to have used the same path (_root.Menu_mc.inventoryLists.itemList.selectedEntry.formId) with success

Any idea of what I'm doing wring here? I could really use some help. Thanks in advance!

Here's my script:

Event OnInit()

IKey = Input.GetMappedKey("Activate")

RegisterForKey(IKey)

EndEvent

Event OnKeyUp(Int KeyCode, Float HoldTime)

If KeyCode == IKey

Form ValuableItem = Game.GetFormEx(UI.GetInt("InventoryMenu", "_root.Menu_mc.inventoryLists.itemList.selectedEntry.formId"))

debug.Notification("Item = " + ValuableItem)

EndIf

EndEvent

Ok, solved. The script works with SKYUI installed. I just needed to extract and copy the SKYUI .psc and .pex scripts into the data/scripts folder and then to import them in my script like so.
