OnDrop Event - Does it exist? : V

» Tue Jun 19, 2012 12:33 am

I am trying to trigger a script attached to a Misc Item with an OnDrop event. However, there is no documentation of such an event in Papyrus.

Event OnDrop()	 debug.notification("You dropped me!")endEvent

Perhaps this: http://www.creationkit.com/OnItemRemoved_-_ObjectReference

There is also an event called OnContainerChanged.

I don't have the CK open, but perhaps

Event OnContainerChanged(ObjectReference akNewContainer, ObjectReference akOldContainer)if akOldContainer == Game.GetPlayer() && !akNewContainer  Debug.MessageBox("You just dropped me!")endifEndEvent

Would there be a way to have the next time the item is spawned activate the effect?

Or maybe have an item that will always perform the function and switch it out?

Thanks for the help guys. I am going to try the OnContainerChanged example.

There is also the OnRelease event in ObjectReference, that triggers when the object you're grabbing is dropped, not sure if it's what you meant by Dropped though.

By dropped I mean, removed from the player's inventory and dropped into the world as a World Object.

Then OnContainerChanged() is what you're after. It's actually infinitely more useful than OnDrop ever was.
