Hi guys,

the topic says it all. I'm trying to find a way so that a armorpieces automatically gets equipepd when a perk gets activated. I couldn't find any entry-points helping me here (correct me if I 'm wrong), so I was wondering if there was a script somewhere?

Cheers,
xyks

No applicable Entry Points I can see ...

Best I can think of is to create a quest - with a script - that dons the relevant armor when the perk is present.

Look at - Quest:

On the following wiki-page: http://www.creationkit.com/Perk

you can create a perk as an ability. and in your ability magic effect, you can use a script to equip the armor OnEffectStart

Thanks a lot both of you! I'm still getting myself into Papyrus but that should be basic enough to give it a first try and now I actually even have alternatives. Thanks!

Alright, I think I need a little more help. I started getting into writing scripts today, so most possibly this is s a stupid mistake (most probably the whole is script is a mistake ). I don't see it though.
This is the script i got :


I can't compile it and I get the error message: no viable alternative at input '-'
I have already looked the error up at http://www.creationkit.com/Papyrus_Compiler_Errors , but I can't say now I know whats wrong exactly...

you dont need to define the function EquipItem(), it is already native to the actor script.

also in this case you do not need to call Game.GetPlayer(). instead (and is faster) you can pull the value of the actor from akTarget (which is a variable defined in the OnEffectStart event). basically when the effect starts, the caster and the target are "stored" as variables within the event function (since this is a "cast on self" type ability, the akTarget is the active user of the effect). so you can just call those variables, as it is much faster and more efficient.

so,

akTarget.EquipItem(Armor1, true)

etc



since akTarget is of the type "Actor" it can inherit all the functions of the Actor script natively, such as EquipItem. so you dont need to define that function in your script.

Thanks! I'm still looking comprehensive guide for total newbies. I can't say the CK wiki is really helpful.
Anyway I still get these errors when compiling:

c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\Scripts\Source\temp\VLR_Armor.psc(8,0): no viable alternative at input 'Function'
c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\Scripts\Source\temp\VLR_Armor.psc(9,10): no viable alternative at input '.

Scriptname _VLR_Armor extends activemagiceffect{Equip Armor}Armor Property Armor1 AutoArmor Property Armor2 AutoEvent OnEffectStart(Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster)akTarget.EquipItem(Armor1, true)akTarget.EquipItem(Armor2, true)EndEvent

you just needed to remove your function definition, and end your event block with EndEvent

It works! Thank you so much! No way I would have done that without you. Thanks for the support, this counity truly is great.

Edit: Nevermind. Got it figured out
