Hi,

I am working on a reassigning system for hotkeys.

I've an item, which can be used. It's actually a misc item so it disappears when it is used.

But if it gets applied to a hotkey, the hotkey is of course cleared out since the item which is used with that hotkey disappears.

So I've now a function which checks if the item is anywhere on a hotkey.

That already works pretty well.

However, everytime I want to use the SetHotKeyItem command, the item doesn't get reassigned.

I think that might be probably happening because I cannot use a base object to assign it to a hotkey.

Instead I need an inventory ref? So the problem I have is that I don't know how I can get an inventory ref.

I've tried this, but it doesn't work

        if Player.GetItemCount SteinArkan > 0

            let HkArray := Player.GetInvRefsForItem SteinArkan

            if HkReset1

                Set HkReset1 to 0

                Let HkItem1 := HkArray[0] ;==>HkItem1 is a reference variable

                SetHotKeyItem 1, HkItem1

            endif
[...]

Any ideas?

Cheers

Addition: Just realized that HkReset1 is zero (0) from the start, while it should be one (1).

So that function doesn't even get processed.

Problem lays elsewhere, gonna look through it again.

So nevermind

Cheers

Another addition: Seems the problem is related to a weird script behaviour.

I've changed to a system where the IDs are used, but no extra reset variables.

And I've checked with a console message and 8 ref variables if the IDs are valid through the "%n" code.

I got the name "Arkanstein" printed out on any ID where that item was set to the respective hotkey.

It was an ID which was retrieved through the "GetInvRefsForItem" function and an array variable. So even that command works fine.

I've set the ref variables to the ref ID of array[1] and used 10 Arkansteine in a row. I always got printed out "Arkanstein, , , , , , , ", since I set the Arkanstein to hotkey 1, while the other hotkeys were used with other objects so the variable gets cleared out instead of overwritten with Arkanstein array[1].

I just did not get any message for the last Arkanstein, since I used "Player.GetItemCount Arkanstein > 1", because it is no use if there is only one Arkanstein left.

However, the ref variable gets cleared somehow. I've checked it later in the script with another console message and everything was "", even if they didn't got cleared through any script lines at this point.

I use "SetHotkeyItem" only if the variables are valid (refVar != 0), but since all ref variables are cleared it doesn't get processed.

Well, I reverted back to the original system.

I don't mind, if the item gets cleared out of a hotkey that much.

Since items in inventory have no reference, it's useless (if not harmful) to use a reference here.

Also, the command expect a base object (item or spell), so directly pass SteinArkan to the command.

Strange, that was the first thing I tried.

But it didn't work either

So I guessed I need a accurate inventory reference. If items in the inventory have no reference at all, why does the "GetInvRefsForItem" function even exists?

However, I am fine with not having the possibility to add it to a hotkey like some potion.

That function was actually never implemented in Nehrim.

Only Oblivion had such a (hardcoded?) function to destroy Welkynd stones to regenerate magicka.

So if the magicka needs to be restored during a battle in our Nehrim addition, the menu has to be opened and the stone needs to be clicked manually.

It's not a big deal.

Enhanced Hotkeys by TheNiceOne allows you to add potions and Welkynd stones to your hot keys. You might want to have a look at how he did it.

Wow, thanks for that tip.

Description says that it is even compatible with Nehrim, so I doubt that it is necessary to even do it myself in my own mod.

Seems there are also no incompatibilities with my mod.

I thought it was compatible with Nehrim, but I wasn't sure. TNO is a genius.

IIRC you need to swap the master. It has Oblivion.esm but it's safe to swap the master as EH use no data from it.
