I've been experimenting and reading online for hours now, and I'm getting nowhere.

Basically what I'm trying to do:

• A chest has a script attached which has OnItemAdded/OnItemRemoved events.
  
• I need to be able to determine what type of object is placed in the chest (specifically if it's a weapon, armor or anything else).

Is there no function on an ObjectReference to determine what type it is? GetType or something?

This is my "best" attempt so far but it fails. It will never say Weapon! or Armor! no matter what I put in the chest...

Event OnItemAdded(Form akBaseItem, int aiItemCount, ObjectReference akItemReference, ObjectReference akSourceContainer)if (akSourceContainer == Game.GetPlayer())  Debug.MessageBox("The player game me " + aiItemCount + "x " + akBaseItem)  if (akItemReference.GetBaseObject() as Weapon)   Debug.MessageBox("Weapon!")  endIf  if (akItemReference.GetBaseObject() as Armor)   Debug.MessageBox("Armor!")  endIfendIfendEvent

Try "akBaseItem as Weapon" etc..
akItemReference is often 'None'

I concur, 'akBaseItem' is almost guaranteed to contain something - then you don't even need the GetBaseObject.

Thanks guys. Turns out I'm an idiot I was using the wrong variable
Should have been using akBaseItem, now it works...
