[LE] OnItemRemoved() weirdness

[testiger2]

Hi guys,

 

i am having a super weird issue when trying to capture dropped items from OnItemRemoved()

 

i need my script to drop the current selected entry in the inventory and then wait for the OnItemRevoved to capture the item(s) to process them further. Because DropObject is too unreliable for which object it drops i'm using a different approach.

 

I basically emulate the user pressing the drop key from the inventory so the right items get dropped.

Now naturally whenever the highlighted item stack has x amount of items you have to select the amount to drop.

And here in lies the issue since whenever i select the whole stack 1 item always gets lost, like completely gone...

 

OnItemRemoved() always fires twice in that case. One time with correct data except it only counts (max -1) items

and the second time it fires for the missing 1 item but it returns no reference. This item simply dissapeares completely, not dropped to ground or whatever.

This does not happen if i drop less then the maximum stack and it does not happen outside of this script either(when the player organically drops the items)

 

It is the weirdest thing ever because all the script is actually doing is pressing the R key for the player but it still always show the same behavior and i have no idea why, I use a fresh stack of items for testing

added with player.additem so there are no issues with persistent refs but its always the same

 

Here is part of the code

State DropState
	Event OnItemRemoved(Form akBase, int aiCount, ObjectReference akRef, ObjectReference akDest)
		debug.messageBox("onitemRemoved\n" + akRef + "\n" + aiCount)

		;Do processing

		GoToState("")
		
	EndEvent
EndState

Function PrepareDropEvent(Form oldBase, Form newBase)
	if newBase && newBase != oldBase	; just form args passed from previos function
		tmpNewBase = newBase ; tmp storage 


		GoToState("DropState")

		;AddInventoryEventFilter(oldBase) ;optional

                UI.Invoke("InventoryMenu", "_root.Menu_mc.DropItem")
                ;one liner doing the same as:
		;int k = input.GetMappedKey("Ready Weapon")
		;input.TapKey(k)

		;RemoveInventoryEventFilter(oldBase) ;optional
	endif
EndFunction

EDIT: Found the solution, it has to do with the object beeing equipped before dropping it.

If you unequip it the event will properly grab all instances
