I'm trying to set a object to only equip if the target has at or greater than 8 strength, and if not; to Unequip the item. needless to say i'm still pretty green when it comes to scripting

I'm not even sure this is possible via just a script so If Im Wrong just lemme know

heres the code of my current non-working script !Please help!

Scn MakEwebStrCheckScriptshort Makstrengthcheck Begin OnEquip	If getav strength >= 8		Set Makstrengthcheck to 1				Elseif  getav strength < 8		Set Makstrengthcheck to 0        	endifendbegin gamemode	if Makstrengthcheck ==1		UnEquipItem MakEweb		ShowWarning "You are not Strong enough to equip this weapon"	endifend

Well I see several things very quickly. First off, i Makstrengthcheck is 1, doesnt that mean they are strong enough to equip it? So that is backwards. Also this will check every single frame, reguardless of whether they have the object equipped or not. Also, is this script on the object or in a quest or what? I suggest doing the following. And making it the script for the item itself.

Begin OnEquip  If GetAv Strength < 8    UnEquipItem MakEweb 0 1    ShowMessage YourMakStrengthMessage  EndIfEnd

This should make it check right when they equip it, show the message once, (Make it a message not a warning) and unequip the item if they are not strong enough.

thx for the quick reply, and the script you sent is Partailly working. it shows the message but wont Unequip the weapon

i have it as a Obj script, and it is attached to the weapon. perhaps having it equip fists instead and will this script work in menu mode as well as Game mode?

-EDIT-

it works if I use the player refs but I want it to work on all NPCs as well

Scn MakEwebStrCheckScript1   begin OnEquip		if player.GetActorValue Strength >= 8			player.EquipItem MakEweb 0 1		else			player.UnEquipItem MakEweb 0 1			 ShowMessage MakEwebStrCheck		endif	endifend

Oh yea I forget about the ref its acting on. Well that works just remember it only will for the player. So make sure no NPCs have it.

im trying this atm, but I'm not sure its the correct Ref Variable..


_edit_ GOT IT!! w00t
its the getcontainer ref var!

Scn MakEwebStrCheckScript1Ref MakActorRef   begin OnEquip   	set MakActorRef to [b]GetContainer[/b]		if MakActorRef.GetActorValue Strength >= 8			MakActorRef.EquipItem MakEweb 0 1		else			MakActorRef.UnEquipItem MakEweb 0 1			 ShowMessage MakEwebStrCheck		endif	endifend

Thats what I was thinking would work as well. It would make sense. Just, you dont need to call it to be equipped if its already equipped. Flop it back to the way I had it.

Scn MakEwebStrCheckScript1Ref MakActorRef   begin OnEquip   	set MakActorRef to GetContainer		if MakActorRef.GetActorValue Strength < 8			MakActorRef.UnEquipItem MakEweb 0 1			 ShowMessage MakEwebStrCheck		endifend

looks good man
its working well
thx for the help

No problem. It was good practice for me. All of the work on my mod for the last 2 months has been more making rooms and cluttering, no much scripting. I am loosing my edge. Oh and I figured it warned you when you tried to save, but make sure you take out the extra 'endif'. (I edited the posted script)
