SSE Is there an event for eating?

[antstubell]

Can I call an event when player consumes an ingredient? or do I need to check the item's effect on the player? I'm sure onEat doesn't exist.

Eat / Use / Equip all have the same keybind thus the OnEquipped event on a player alias script may catch when an ingredient is consumed. It is at least worth testing.

 

If it is a custom ingredient, you can apply a scripted effect and use the OnEffectStart event. But that effect may also show up in the Alchemy crafting menu which could be undesired.

Thank you.

 

EDIT

 

So I made a copy of the Magic Effect AlchParalysis and placed this script on it.

 

MiscObject Property MyMiscObj Auto

Event OnEffectStart(Actor Target, Actor Caster)
Debug.Notification ("I’m Drunk")
Game.GetPlayer().AddItem(MyMiscObj, 1)

EndEvent

 

 

Effect works as expected but the script does nothing. What have I messed up?

I cannot be 100% certain but I think magic effects with scripts attached need to be of the type "scripted" instead of say "fire and forget"

[antstubell]

Hmm. Tried changing it to Type Script, player gets the paralysis green hue around him, doesn't fall over and script doesn't fire.

May have to re-think the whole idea, thanks.

Both OnEquip and OnSpellCast will fire when an ingredient is consumed.

 

The script should work regardless of the effect type. Did you:

 

1. Fill the property?

2. Compile the script?
