Hey all,

I'm not pretty sure if I'm right here but I'm experiencing a weird problem regarding EventHandlers. Its about the OnActorDrop event handler which I just cant get to work. I've been using this in my Quest-Script:

Begin GameModesetEventHandler "OnActorDrop" FnOnActorDropstopQuest BYCQuestEnd

And following is the Function code:

scn FnOnActorDropref dropperref droppedItembegin Function { dropper, droppedItem }        print $droppedItem + " dropped by " + $dropperend

This is just a test and of course I will add filters later on, but this message does never show in the console. Neither if I drop an item per shift + right click in the inventory nor if I force an actor to drop an item per "actorRef.drop item 1". I have copied the EventHandler examples from the http://obse.silverlock.org/obse_command_doc.html#Events and they all worked. But just the "OnActorDrop" doesnt work. I'm out of ideas.

Has anyone experienced similar problems?
Any help is appreciated.

Ps.: Using OBSE v20 beta

Nobody? I really cant get it to work so I'm guessing its a bug.
Maybe someone can test it on his system and check if its running? Otherwise I'd appreciate if an OBSE developer could check if the command really works and maybe fix it.

Some quick tests with the player (usual way and per script) didn't work for me either.
Maybe only works for NPCs (don't have a save to test that) or doesn't work at all (i.e. bugged). Since there's currently no open OBSE-Rel-Thread, maybe you should inform http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/user/53482-scruggsywuggsy-the-ferret/ via PN.

Thanks a lot for testing and thanks for the conract, I'm going to send him a PN.

Btw.: I didnt know you were still active in TES forums, glad to see you in the community. :thumbsup:

What happens if you surround the SetEventHandler call with an if instead of doing the StopQuest? I would imagine the latter would undo it. Testing GetGameLoaded or GetGameRestarted would also make more sense, as the quest would no longer be able to run after a reload/restart.

Still active, but a lot less then before. Don't have that much free time anymore.
Therfore reduced my presence to 3 forums (this one here, elderscrollsgames.de and multimediaxis.de|theelderscrolls.info).
I still look up the other forums once in a while, but don't write that much. May be related to the fact that I'm not interested in most of the stuff discussed there.

Those were just for testing issues.

scruggy just replied to my personal message I sent him and told me that the documentation is wrong, because the EventHandler ist called OnPlayerDrop and not OnActorDrop. Due to that it only works for the player. He said he will fix that mistake in the documentation on the next release. Unfortunately that doesnt help me, because I needed it for any actor badly. =(

@ Low Post: Missed you on Scharesoft.

EDIT.: With OBSE v020 Beta 6 the problem is solved. Its now OnActorDrop and works as it stands in the documentation
