Hi guys, I'm a green hand at modding

and today I just tried using GetItemCount on a chest to make it return the value of the gold.

Unfortunately I always get the result of zero instead of the correct value, even after I put some money there. Here is my scripts used on my "DDDchest"

I linked the property.
-----------------

Scriptname DDDchest extends ObjectReferenceint Function GetItemCount(Form akItem) nativeMiscObject property gold001 autoEvent OnActivate(ObjectReference akActionRef)	Debug.Notification(GetItemCount(gold001) )EndEvent

-----------------------------------------
Personally I think it's a pretty easy one but I'm just against the odds.

I'm much obliged if you can help me! Thank you thank you very much!

Try this:

Scriptname DDDchest extends ObjectReference MiscObject property gold001 autoEvent OnActivate(ObjectReference akActionRef)Int iCount = Self.GetItemCount(gold001)	Debug.Notification("" + iCount)EndEvent

Thank you very much! I've tried various versions of things in the event but I dont know that line outside of event should be deleted.

As for the setting up a new variable i think it's an exellent idea for a clean script.


Thank you again!~
