Add a maximum weight capacity to containers

Post » Wed Jun 20, 2012 6:25 am

Just wondering if its possible to add a maximum weight capacity setting to a container? This way you would only be able to put a certain number of items in the container before it cant hold anymore (like maximum weight for the PC).

there is a weight property to containers yes, I'm pretty sure if it's 0 it's unlimited, if it's anything higher, that's the limit.

I think thats the weight of the actual container, I tested it once and the weight limit of the container was still unlimited.

You could make FormLists of items according to their weight, derive the cumulative weight with a custom function, then check if the weight limit is exceeded OnItemAdded() style and have the container refuse new items until enough weight is removed...

Haven't tested the above, but it should work with some finagling...

Or I could just use an NPC as the "container" which i just realised I could do.
