No .GetArmorRating() for Papyrus? ! ? : V

» Wed Jun 20, 2012 3:19 am

So there's [ActorID.]GetArmorRating for the console commands. I can't find anything like it in Papyrus. Does anyone know how to get this value. I am willing to add up all the armor myself, but I haven't seen a function to get the ArmorRating from and ObjectReference either.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

There's no way to get the armor rating of the armor pieces. You can get total armor rating by using '[Actor].GetAV("DamageResist")'.

If you wish, I can add this feature to my Inventory and weight ESM utility: http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1359925-players-inventory-listing-weight-etc-esm-utility/

Thank you. Though, I have tried this previously, and the result is always 0. Have you been able to use that ActorValue on an NPC?

It will be in SKSE. It has been listed as the current functions.

Yes, just tested it.

If you could add some way to get the armor rating of an armor object including smithing improvements I would be very grateful. It has become a problem for me.

SKSE has papyrus functions now, and one of them is GetArmorRating(). However, I am not sure if it includes smithing improvements as I haven't used it yet.

I see, but doesn't that mean you can't use the skyrim workshop to distribute your mod?

» Wed Jun 20, 2012 4:21 pm

Sorry, I don't use steam workshop. I don't see why not though.

Though SKSE used its own exe for example

Yeah... but no one's telling you to upload SKSE onto Steam Workshop. Even if that was possible, I don't think the SKSE team would let you do that.

All you have to do is say that SKSE is required in your mod description and provide a link to the SKSE website.

You can get smithing improvements value by using GetHealth. a base item is at 100% health, improved has more than that
The problem is you can't set the improvement value

This is without SKSE by the way

Sweet, this will be very useful. Thank you

Um where can I find the getHealth function?

As far as I can find it doesn't belong to either the armor or form type

It's http://www.creationkit.com/GetItemHealthPercent_-_ObjectReference, belonging to ObjectReference type. Sorry, I kinda forgot the name, but you get the general idea

However, I don't know how many percent tempering an item will yield. It doesn't really matter for now, though, as there is no SetItemHealthPercent. At least it's not exposed

Thanks for your help, this is quite likely to end in a very good solution. However I still have an issue using it.

Event OnObjectEquipped(Form akBaseObject, ObjectReference akReference)debug.messagebox("akReference equipped:"+akReference)debug.messagebox("health percentage on equipped:"+akReference.GetItemHealthPercent())endEvent

This is my testcode, when I equip a pair of improved gauntlets however I get that ObjectReference akReference is none. Giving GetItemHealthPercent as 0.

Is there a way around that hurdle that you know of?

» Wed Jun 20, 2012 1:38 am

I've never personally tested the function, so I don't know. Does the first Debug.MessageBox show the correct reference? The wiki says this about akReference:

akReference: The reference that the actor just equipped - if the reference is persistent. Otherwise, None

» Wed Jun 20, 2012 7:02 am

No it shows "none". So the reference is probably not persistent.

Is there some way to make it persistent before the event triggers?

Or would I have to make a script that references all gloves in the inventory to make them persistent (unsure if that works but it is a dirty fix to)

» Wed Jun 20, 2012 11:45 am

The wiki has this to say about http://www.creationkit.com/Persistence_(Papyrus). You may want to have a look at it.

I personally don't have that much experience with objects myself. Usually I deal with objects explicitly made in CK, so the reference is always known.

Thanks for the help. Now I have a new way to approach the problem
