So I created the below script and attached it to a pair of gloves. The idea was to toggle a Perk on and off depending on whether the gloves are equipped.

The debug messages for equipping/unequipping fire off just fine. The Perk is added/removed as it should be.

My attempt to get periodic updates showing the gloves are still equipped was a failure. My best guess is that I can't use that function in a script that extends ObjectReference, but I don't know for sure. Here's the code.

Scriptname MyPerkToggle extends ObjectReferenceperk property MyPerk autoEvent OnEquipped(Actor akActor)	Debug.MessageBox("We were equipped by the player!")	Game.GetPlayer().AddPerk(MyPerk)	RegisterForUpdate(5)endEventEvent OnUnequipped(Actor akActor)	Debug.MessageBox("We were unequipped by the player!")	Game.GetPlayer().RemovePerk(MyPerk)	UnregisterForUpdate()endEventEvent OnUpdate()	 Debug.MessageBox("Still equipped!")endEvent

I'd appreciate any pointers as to my failure here... I'm sure it's pretty obvious, just can't figure where my logic went wrong.

This may or may not solve your issue - try using 5.0 instead of just 5.

Thanks for the response. Tried, but no luck.

I may be wrong on this too, but after looking at the explanation of RegisterForUpdate on the wiki, it strikes me that it may be ignored in an ObjectReference script.
I know that if you put it in a quest script with an IsEquipped condition, it would work fine.

OK, so found the answer here... and it's not entirely my fault. I'm blaming this one on Beth.

Turns out, items that are in containers (which includes your inventory) have issues with passing the ObjectReference ID. In short, can't use RegisterForUpdate() on a script that's attached to an item in a container or inventory.

What I had to do was... create a Magical Effect that calls the script that then calls for the updates. Then, I made an enchant with that script and enchanted the gloves. When the gloves are worn, the Enchant registers for the updates and sends the warning message. The messages stop when I take off the gloves.

That makes me very sad, I developed some wonderful Token scripts in Oblivion, looks like they will be mostly useless now...
