I'm checking to see if anybody knows how to script a change in an item's gold value, since "SetItemValue" as used in Oblivion, and as used in the Skyrim console, isn't recognised as a function (and isn't listed in the list of functions on the CK wiki).

Here's my bit of script:

Key Property RangerShackDoorKey  AutoBook Property RShackDeed  Auto  int countEvent OnRead ()	if count == 0		Game.GetPlayer().AddItem(RangerShackDoorKey)		RShackDeed.SetItemValue(0)	endifendEvent

Saves and works fine without the "SetItemValue" line, and otherwise gives me the error "SetItemValue is not a function or does not exist". Any input would be much appreciated!

I don't think there is a Papyrus function that let you do that. Here's a list of all documented functions: http://www.creationkit.com/Category:Papyrus

you can however replace the deed in the player's inventory with an identical deed that has the changed value

Hmm, that's what I'm afraid of - I checked that list as well.

There must be a way around it, though - at least, I'd be surprised if there was no way to script an item value change, especially since it can be done in the console.

Oh, good idea. I'll use that workaround - thanks!

There are quite a few things that can be done in the console that can't be done via script, though. I think Ditre's suggestion would be your best bet for now.

I think you're right - thanks for looking into it.

Ok, I have one more question to ask in relation to this.

I'm trying to add and remove the objects silently with an "absilent" boolean, but I'm not sure how to set that up as a parameter (or whatever it is I need to be doing to make it work).

There's a reference http://www.creationkit.com/AddItem_-_ObjectReference, but I'm not getting it right. What line to I need to insert into my script and where, so I can run that as "true" (silent).

Thanks again for the help!

Something like this should do the trick:

CallingObject.AddItem(MyItemToAdd, 1, true)

Cipscis

Oh, so it did! My problem is that I was writing "MyItemToAdd, true" and skipping the "1" (assuming 1 was default).

Thanks again, I really appreciate it! You've saved me hours of angst and woe.

Glad to hear it!

The problem with your approach is that the compiler was interpreting "true" as the value of the second parameter, and leaving the third one (which you wanted to change) with its default value.
