Note: Because the actual adding of multiple objects happens in GameMode, nothing will happen until this current script ends. You could easily make it add one of these in the activate block and then N-1 others, or add more than one at a time in your GameMode, etc. Additionally, the GameMode block will only fire every ~30 seconds unless the IGF item is in the same cell as the player. This is just a quick example and as with all the code here you should experiment for yourself to see what works best for your needs. | |||

To remove an item that is in your inventory you will need your own copy of the object in-game, or more likely your own scripted object. This is best done with a global variable in case you have multiple copies. In this case the global variable is in the script attached to MyQuest and the item concerned is MyItem. | To remove an item that is in your inventory you will need your own copy of the object in-game, or more likely your own scripted object.

This code will not do anything for an object (MyItem) not on a player. Since it may leave the MyQuest.RemoveMyItem set if not called appropriately you should make the object be removed silently thus: | |||

1) The particular objects used in the MyAddItemScript here are special and cannot be copied to objects that have the same game-play properties. They may be scripted but this is a very bad idea because of MOD conflicts and other possible issues. However, with some extra you can save a list of the object IDs (as an array or link-list) and call RemoveMe on the saved reference IDs. | 1) The particular objects used in the MyAddItemScript here are special and cannot be copied to objects that have the same game-play properties.

2) True stacks of items, e.g. when created as a bunch with a single PlaceAtMe or AddItem call, can only be removed using RemoveItem (Drop also works if you dont mind them at your feet.) | 2) True stacks of items, e.g. when created as a bunch with a single PlaceAtMe or AddItem call, can only be removed using RemoveItem since the base object script is not transferred.

Individually created items will retain their unique script variables, including their own reference. Hence, you can remove a specific item from an inventory stack. Unfortunately this can mess with what OB thinks is the currently equipped item if an item of a stack is equipped, whether the actual equipped instance is the one removed or not. OBSE may have methods that can help out here. | ||
