How to: An activator that only works when you have a certain item

[Zorkaz]

Dear scripting gods, help me!

 

How am I able to make an activator that only works when you have a certain item in your possession?

 

 

Example:

-A water pump that starts working when you fix it with a certain screw

-An old generator that needs a battery

 

 

 

Optionally: The activator vanishes and gets replaced by a working one

It compiles, but didn't test in game myself. Please try it out:

Scriptname Zorkaz_RequireItemToFix extends ObjectReference

; scripting by niston

Form Property ItemRequired Auto Const
{ Item required for fixing }

Bool Property ConsumeItem Auto Const
{ Consume the item when fixing? }

Auto State Broken
	Event OnInit()
		; block default activation
		BlockActivation(true)
                ; disable power on powered things
                SetOpen(true)
	EndEvent

	Event OnActivate(ObjectReference refAction)
		ObjectReference refPlayer = Game.GetPlayer()
		If (refAction == refPlayer)
			If (refPlayer.GetItemCount(ItemRequired) > 0)
				If (ConsumeItem)
					; consume item
					refPlayer.RemoveItem(ItemRequired)
				EndIf
				; enable default activation
				BlockActivation(false)
                                ; enable power on powered things
                                SetOpen(false)
				; go to fixed state
				GotoState("Fixed")
                        Else
                                ; might show a message here, informing the user they need <ItemRequired> to fix this activator before it will work
			EndIf
		EndIf
	EndEvent
EndState

State Fixed

EndState

Danke dir ;) Werde es ausprobieren.

Here is my nearly finished version:

 

It now has the option

-To play a sound,

-To shake the camera,

-To choose how many items you need

-To display a message before and after

 

Only problem: The item doesn't get removed
