So I want to give the player an item for the quest.
I'm not a scripter at all and barely understand how to do any of it, but I've been learning.

So I created an item, then made it an Alias in my quest (created at the quest giver) of it.
When the quest reaches stage 10 I want to give the player the item. I had no idea how to do this
so I just tried to find a quest that did the same thing. Here is what I found, but it doesn't work.
(The alias name I made for my item was "Letter")


Alias_Letter.TryToEnable()
Game.GetPlayer().AddItem(Alias_Letter.GetReference())

Can anyone give me the correct code?

Also if you know, what is the script to remove an item?

Bump

So I tried using this code:

Game.GetPlayer().AddItem(EGPMedicineNote, 1, false)

But I get this error:


\Scripts\Source\temp\QF_EGPTestQuest_02005F97.psc(34,25): variable EGPMedicineNote is undefined
No output generated for QF_EGPTestQuest_02005F97, compilation failed.

Just to make it clear, EGPMedicineNote is an item I created. It is not placed anywhere in the world.

Take a look at this - http://www.cipscis.com/skyrim/tutorials/editorids.aspx

Cipscis

I've made my item (EGPMedicineNote) into an Alias called "Letter"
I then tried this code:

Alias_Letter.TryToEnable()Game.GetPlayer().AddItem(Alias_Letter.GetReference())

Which is a direct copy of another quest that gives the player a note. It compiles fine, but in game it doesn't give me the note.

If anyone would like an example of what I'm trying to do, head over to the quest "BQ01"
This quest gives the player a bounty note.

try using the trytoenable in an if statement to test if it's enabling the reference

if Alias_Letter.TryToEnable()Game.GetPlayer().AddItem(Alias_Letter.GetReference())debug.messagebox("added item")elsedebug.messagebox("enabling quest reference alias failed")endif

I tried that and it failed, so I'm assuming something is messed up with my Alias?
Here is a link to a screen grab of it: http://i.imgur.com/BTKdn.png

take out the alias_ part of your alias_letter and try again

Hmm If I do this I get the errors "variable Letter is undefined" " none is not a known user-defined type"
when I compile it.
I'm using:

Game.GetPlayer().AddItem(Letter.GetReference())

I went to add some gold to the player, based on a messagebox selection.

I got the same error until I attached a 'miscobject' property to the script. then the additem function worked correctly.

I explain it at the bottom of this tutorial I created: http://tesalliance.org/forums/index.php?/topic/4697-class-1-doing-something/

So based on the type of object your adding will depend on the type of property you add.

in that case try using a property instead of the alias reference
Book Property EGPMedicineNote auto
then try to use EGPMedicineNote instead of alias_letter.getreference()
without the if statement portions

properties work just fine in the additem function

I tried this, my code looks like:

Book Property EGPMedicineNote autoGame.GetPlayer().AddItem(EGPMedicineNote)

I get these errors during compiling: "no viable alternative at input 'Book'" "no viable alternative at input 'EGPMedicineNote'"

Put the property above your Event code, not inside the Event code.
And is your "EGPMedicineNote" defined as a book object?

properties are placed outside the main block, the CK puts generated properties at the very bottom of the source code

Here is a screen grab of the code, where it's at, and the book: http://i.imgur.com/gXLA2.png
I'm confused by all the technical jargon lol, I'm just starting to script...

hit the properties button for the papyrus fragment, then add property, set the type to book and name to EGPMedicineNote, it should hopefully set the value correctly based on the matching names

This worked! Thanks so much man XD
Now to make a youtube tutorial video on this so nobody else makes my mistakes! Thanks again!!
