hi
ran into a problem with scripts and was wondering if anyone could help

the situation is i hav a armor item which runs a script when equipped, it shows a message with options etc
it works if i use hotkey's or inventory to equip it

in another script i present myself with items i want to equip
the item is equipped with the command player.equipItem a 0 1
i was expecting the message to popup as when equipping said item the onequip block of my script should run
anyone have ideas on why this is happening or is it a limitation in the game

to summarise
item a has a script to display a message box with options when equipped
item a is equipped normally via hotkey or pipboy - menu shows
item a is equipped via a script - menu no show

I'm trying to understand here, but your wording is a little akward, and I don't think I understand your problem here. Why don't you post the scripts themselves (use the code tags) and reword your post so its easier to understand? What does "present myself with items" mean?

yea my english is really bad sorry
a menu is displayed using a message box within the menu has options like hat, mask, armor
if i click on hat it will equip my hat item which has a script attatched
however the script does not run if i equip it using the menu but runs it i equip through normal means eg pipboy or hotkey

script below is used to equip a item using menu

in menu i choose button 3 which will equip the drone com link

The wiki is your friend, always check it as they address that very issue. Basically onequip won't run when an item is equipped from a script command. FOSE should have one that does.

so theres no way i can get it to work?
too bad there's no equipitem2 in fo3 as said in the tes wiki you linked

i tried with a indigestible item and it worked, however i am unable to recreate this with my other items hmm...

I figured they brought that over to FOSE but don't see it in the documentation so maybe not. You could try asking about it in the FOSE thread in the mods forum, maybe someone knows a simple way.

If you are calling equipitem from another script anyway just do showmessage from that script right after.

yea tried that it doesnt work the buttons will be messed up if i do
but anyways i found changing the items to aid items which calls the script with a effect works so im going with that
