AddItem

Syntax:

[ActorID|ContainerID.]AddItem ObjectID, Count 

Adds Count items of object ObjectID to the calling container's inventory.

Examples:

AddItem MyObject, 1

Ref MyItem
Short count

set MyItem to ArenaAkaviriLongSword
set count to 1
player.additem MyItem Count

Notes

• You can use a reference variable as ObjectID and a short variable for count.
• This function will trigger an onAdd block in a script attached to the target container, as long as the container is in a loaded cell. When used on a container in a remote cell, the onAdd block won't run until the player enters that container's cell. However, if the player enters the remote cell after saving and loading, the onAdd block won't run.
  • Note that this is only true for the onAdd block, the rest of the script will still run if applicable (GameMode block will run if it's GameMode, MenuMode if MenuMode, etc.). The script will run once, as if it were loaded. If you have any variables set on the script, it will run the next frame as well and will continue to run until no variables are set.
• See Message Spam for techniques to avoid unwanted "Item Added" messages.

Console Usage

When using AddItem with the console, you must use the desired item's FormID, not the EditorID.

So, instead of using

player.additem lockpick 1

to give yourself a lockpick, you must use

player.additem 00000A 1
