I want to remove a weapon from Uncle Roe's inventory, and for some reason this:

UncleRoe.RemoveItem WeapUniqueTheTrader 1

Doesn't seem to compile. Any ideas?

Do you want to have it permanately removed, or removed after a certain stage?

If it's the former, simply double click on Roe, select "edit base" then select the "inventory" tab and remove his rifle. I can't help you if you want it removed after a certain stage, sorry.

I want it removed as a part of a script, so I guess after a certain stage is what I need.

WeapUniqueTheTrader does not exist in Fallout3 or any of the DLCs as far as I can tell. Did you make this weapon yourself? Perhaps its from a mod then and you would need to have that mod loaded in the geck before you could act upon it.

I made it and I assure you that it's loaded.

Yea, Uncle Roe gets a hunting rifle, not that gun. So unless you made it yourself, and gave it to him, it wont work. And if you didnt even make it, and it doesn't exist, then it wont parse.

I made it and I gave it to him.

EDIT:

Nevermind, I managed to make it work. All I needed to do was to use "uncleroeref" instead of "uncleroe".

Yeah, even if an inventory doesn't contain a certain item, http://geck.gamesas.com/index.php/RemoveItem would still compile. The issue was that "UncleRoe" is the editorID of a base form, as opposed to a reference. Reference functions can only be called on references, so if you attempt to call it on a base form the script won't compile. "UncleRoeRef" is the editorRefID of a persistent reference, so there's no problem with using it to call a reference function.

For future reference, posting the compiler error with a problem like this helps immensely when it comes to figuring out the problem.
