Is it possible to write a script for a longbow which means it can only fire certain kinds of arrows? For my project, I would need it to fire five different arrows, but would give you a messagebox if you try to use any other arrow with it. I'm not even sure this is possible, but if it is... can anyone out there write me this script? Please? I'd be most grateful.

Thanks in advance.

Everything is possible.


Here's a script to make "custom bow" only able to fire daedric/ebony/glass/silver arrows. You should be able to adapt it to your needs:

begin bow_script

float delay

if ( player->HasItemEquipped "custom bow" )
    if ( delay > 0 )
        set delay to ( delay - GetSecondsPassed )
    elseif ( player->GetSoundPlaying bowPull )
        if ( player->HasItemEquipped "daedric arrow" )
        elseif ( player->HasItemEquipped "ebony arrow" )
        elseif ( player->HasItemEquipped "glass arrow" )
        elseif ( player->HasItemEquipped "silver arrow" )
        else; player is firing the wrong type of arrow!
            set delay to 0.5
            player->StopSound bowPull
            player->AddItem VFX_DefaultBolt 1
            player->Equip VFX_DefaultBolt
            player->RemoveItem VFX_DefaultBolt 1
            MessageBox "This bow can only fire daedric, ebony, glass, or silver arrows!"
        endif
    endif
endif
end
