Okay, I'm scratching my head now. I'm trying to attach a script to Imperial Studded Armor (EditorID ArmorImperialStuddedCuirass), which, upon equipped will cause the player to equip an Imperial Light Armor instead

To do this, I edit the armor, right-click at Papyrus Scripts panel, and choose "Add Script", and typed these:

Scriptname RaestlozTestArmorChangeScript extends ObjectReference{Change armor equipped when you equip the armor}Armor Property NewArmor Auto{New armor that will be equipped instead}Event OnEquipped(Actor akActor)   if akActor == Game.GetPlayer()	  akActor.EquipItem(NewArmor)   endifendEvent

Then, I set the property value of NewArmor to "ArmorImperialLightCuirass"


And it doesn't work. What I did in game was simply equipping the armor via Inventory screen (is there any other way to do that?) and nothing happens.

And yes, I do have the armor in my inventory. CreationKit.com states that EquipItem will give the actor one instance of the armor in case said actor does not have the armor, so it isn't an issue

I'm thinking you may have to unequip other armor first. But that is a guess...

The script doesn't always start running right away. Try dropping the armor and picking it back up a couple times before putting it on.

Yeah, it works now IDK what happened though. I dropped the thing and now it works. Strange

I think that if the script has an OnInit event, then it starts working right away without the need to load the model first. But I can't be positive.

Hmm.... I didn't know something like OnInit existed. Will definitely check it out.

On a side note, how do you enable debugging? I followed the steps in CreationKit.com (create SkyrimCustom.ini, put the values in), but I can't get debugging to work. it doesn't print out logs.

I just changed the values in Skyrim.ini instead of creating a SkyrimCustom.ini.

Yeah, I fiddled with Skyrim.ini and it works. I almost pulled my hair because of that.
