Equipping an item in a fragment

Post » Mon Nov 19, 2012 12:41 am

-sigh- I'm having a really, really, really hard time trying to accustom myself to papyrus... sry if it's a bad question...

I tried researching how other quests give items to players after they're done talking, via fragments, but i just don't get it!!!! Augh!

How do I make an NPC i'm talking to equip a torch when I'm done speaking to them? I found out about the EquipItem command but I don't understand how fragments work or how I put it in. The wiki doesn't really explain it and I can't really find good answers on it, so i'm sorry if this is asked frequently.


EDIT! I figured out how to make a fragment, and I realized that I couldn't edit the "source" of the fragment when I added it, so I just saved it first, got the error and re-opened to edit source.


Edit2: OK, I figured out how to make an NPC equip a torch. But they hold it for two seconds and then unequip it. The heck? Anyone know what that's about?

If it is daytime, the AI has them put the torch away. You might be able to get around this with a custom torch. I dont know for certain.
