I've been searching for uses of the OnRead() function and found of lot of spell and recipe books this is used in. But I haven't seen how this can be used to trigger an event.

I've a great little script from JustinOther that triggers an event on getting an item off of an NPC. What I need now is something similar but a trigger when reading a certificate (note).

I've been piecing together different things I've been finding while researching this but there is still stuff I need to learn about this to get it to work.

This is what I am working on:

ScriptName AntreCertFreeFamily extends ObjectReferenceObjectReference Property YourMarkerREF AutoEvent OnRead()	    If akNewContainer == Game.GetPlayer()			    YourMarkerREF.Enable()                Debug.Notification("The Fisher Family Has Been Set Free!")	    EndIfEndEvent

I have no idea what the different ak style variables are so I don't know what to change that to....if that's what I need to do.

I've played around with stuff like "akItemRead" and "akOnRead" etc etc. But I am sure the "IF" conditional is the problem here.

Thanks in advance for any and all help

ScriptName AntreCertFreeFamily extends ObjectReferenceObjectReference Property YourMarkerREF AutoEvent OnRead()	If YourMarkerREF.IsDisabled()		YourMarkerREF.Enable()		Debug.Notification("The Fisher Family Has Been Set Free!")	EndIfEndEvent

Each function/event has its own parameters or in some cases, like http://www.creationkit.com/OnRead_-_ObjectReference, none.

"IsDisabled"???

Man I feel dumb lol

I think I need to hunt down a variable chart the game uses.

Thanks again for all your help Justin.

All you guys at the gamesas forums are awesome for noobs like myself

hhhmmm

It seems to be not working.

It activates on retrieving the paper from the safe with no notification.

I've recompiled it several times and double checked that the proper script is being used too.

I've gone into the property of the script and it's calling the correct trigger.

Is YourMarkerREF "Initially Disabled"? So long as isn't already enabled and the property is filled correctly, the notification should fire. Could be that it's saved as enabled...

I see what happened.

For some reason the old script was staying with the save game.

Once I loaded up a save that hasn't been to the mod it worked perfectly.

I have no idea why a script would attach to a save game though :/
