I have a script with an OnObjectEquipped event inside of a script that extends Actor. That event applies values to variables based on the weapon that is equipped. However, unless I'm mistaken, it does not "fire" until a weapon is equipped after a saved game is loaded. Basically, that means that any already equipped weapon never gets registered to apply values to the variables.

For example, if I want want Variable-A to be set to 1 when a certain sword is equipped, and I load a saved game with the sword already equipped, Variable-A will not be set to 1.

Is there a way around that? Thank you!

Does the script not save the value that it had when the game was saved and exited?

That is a piece of knowledge far beyond mine
Do values for variables save in saved games?
Is that something I have to force?

I'm not really sure, but I think the entire script might get saved and return to where it was when the game is loaded

Yeah the variables http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1354218-an-open-letter-to-bethesda-regarding-ck/page__view__findpost__p__20413868 be safe.

As for the problem...
Can't you just call the event from OnInit() ?

If that doesn't work put the 'work' into a function that both events call.

Thank you both!

If variables are saved, then that should solve my issue. Thank you again!
