Universal Item Display Script (Weapons, Shields, Potions etc : V - Skyrim

» Wed Jun 26, 2013 6:01 pm

I have tested this setup under the following conditions:

3x Container (Using a marker model). Display type = 3
Ownership of each container = Player; PlayerFaction; and NONE
1x Flawless diamond (Player owner), 1x Gold Diamond Ring (Non-player/faction owner), 1x Gold Sapphire Ring (no owner)
1x Cell. Location has keywords LocTypeDwelling/House/PlayerHouse and is the only cell of that "Location"
3x Test runs. Each iteration of the test the cell ownership was cycled through Player &--#62; PlayerFaction &--#62; None
Each container was tested with all 3 items, always testing the NONE owner first

Results:

The ownership of the container does not seem to affect the owner flag of the object (I am confident it might should one container "belong" to an NPC/non-playerfaction).

The kicker seems to be the Cell Ownership as follows:
Player: Stolen Flag on all 3 items
PlayerFaction: Stolen Flag on all 3 items
NONE: Appropriate Stolen Flags

Anyone who struggles with Papyrus or is having difficulty implementing some Universal Item Display might be interested in http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1432162-req-soulgem-rackdisplay-case/.

The discussion details adding a new display type (item category) and runs through setting everything up with some tips and tricks here and there. IMHO the extra reading material can only be to the benefit of anyone having difficulty.

Thank you a million times for this tutorial! It works like a charm.
Have a question though. Since I'm not a bewandered Scripter I'd rather not edit anything on my my own before consulting with all you brilliant minds.

Basicly I want to make the Weapon Display for certain Items. E.g the display won't accept any other Item than the certain one. For instance "Wuuthrad" which either bugs on every other Weapon Rack, if it even works.
I get that there should be some value or formlist I have to edit, but which one in particular?
I'm at a loss, but hopefully there's someone here with a solution!

Cheers!

Did you see this post?
That was for getting soul gems into the a universal item display set-up. You should be able to make it work for Wuuthrad. You could use keywords (if it has a unique keyword), a single entry formlist, or a straight weapon property.

@Antares

Cheers! That Really helped out. Must have missed that post somehow. By adding a new Display Category based on a formlist, and Wuuthrad being the only enry in that list it worked.
Don't know if there's any simpler way to do it but this worked fine!

Crashes after pasting the script and clicking OK. Would anyone know why?

Nevermind, it was just unclear instructions for someone new to creation kit.

I tried doing this with a helmet to no avail.
It works with a cloth hat, but with SKSE loaded it doesn't seem to recognise "armorhelmet".

Is it not part of akbaseitem?
This is pretty messy because I'm trying to learn stuff and get it work first.

Thanks for the great script! Using it with glee The tutorial you put up is easy to follow even for someone without scripting experience. However I ran into an issue. Now, I followed the tutorial step by step and everything works. The only thing I differed on was adding the line in the script by the guy who ran into the stolen tag issue as I ran into that issue myself.

What I am finding is that I can access the activator even if there is a weapon on the display rack. ie in container within the trigger. Any ideas or did I do something wrong?
