I want to permantly watch what the player equips and keep track of it.
I have to use the OnEquip event but where to hook scripts , so every time the players changes stuff it gets active?
Is it possible to watch for hotkey presses?

Is there something like a main script, running and controlling stuff all the time?
Or is everything attached to items/spells/actors etc?

PS: no skse / script dragon please

You probably want a quest with an alias to player and a script attached to that alias.

Ok, I made a new quest, set the alias to player and added a oninit script with a notification for testing.
Nothing happens when the game is loaded. Quest not loading - did I forgot something?

Start game enabled is set...

That should work, it did for me. Just to be sure: you attached your script to the alias, not the quest, right?

I'm not sure OnInit() is the best test, though. Try OnItemAdded() with just a debug.notification in it and then pick up something in game.

Thanks, that helped a bit.
Well acutally I did everything right, had a stupid error...

My script was premade as "extends objectreference". The script under alias HAS TO BE "....extends referencealias" or it fails.
A simple thing taking forever because of lacking documentation

At least it works now.
