Hello creation kit forum,

My quest writer requests that I have the player activate a table, which causes a flute from his inventory to be placed on that table. I know there are occasions in Skyrim where this is implemented, but I can't think of any at the moment. What quest can I reference and/or which function should I use?

It's important because the player then has to strike the flute with a weapon (I'm going to assume that striking the table is close enough for the purposes of the quest).

Make an activator around a *static* table with player activation only. Place an initially disable flute where you want to be positioned.

Then script the activator to:

1. Check if the player have the flute

1a. If not, show the failure message

1b. If yes, remove from the player's inventory the flute and enable the flute.

Thank you.

However, calling RemoveItem on a reference deletes it, no? I still need that flute afterwards so I'll temporarily put it on some other container.

It doesn't all have to be the exact same flute ref as long as to the player it seems to be. No need to make your job harder for the sake of a refID that they'll never see (and changes between inventory anyhow)
