I'm trying to get a script to work that a friend gave me to sort ammo. I want my 5.56mm ammo to go into an ammo box that's ID name is houseammobox4. The geck gives me a warning saying its an invalid reference that only object references and reference variables are allowed in that context. Can anyone here help me out?

Short Playercount

Set PlayerCount to (Player.GetItemCount Ammo556mm)
Player.RemoveItem Ammo556mm PlayerCount 1
houseammobox4.AddItem Ammo556mm PlayerCount 1

Are you sure that the containers ref ID is houseammobox4 and that it is set as a persistent reference?

Because that script works for me, i just tried it.

I'll double check but yes I believe so.

I still can't get the script to work I keep getting errors. The ammo box is set to persistent but still no joy.

Sorry its taken me so long to reply.

How exactly are you using this script? an activator or something else?

Edit: This script will work, just attach it to your activator.

scn AmmoSortingScript

Short Playercount

Begin OnActivate

Set PlayerCount to (Player.GetItemCount Ammo556mm)
Player.RemoveItem Ammo556mm PlayerCount 1
houseammobox4.AddItem Ammo556mm PlayerCount 1

End


I hope this helps.

I'm trying to use the script in the terminal. The idea being is the player clicks on sort 556ammo and the ammo (in theory) should be removed from the players inventory and placed into houseammobox4 or 5.56mm Ammo (thats the name of the ammo box in game) I tried your script by placing it in terminal but I got the same error. I may just scrap the sorting idea since its complexities seem beyond me. Thank you for trying to help and your replies I think its lack of knowledge on my end thats making this so difficult.

Haven't setup a console in a mod before, but I imagine that it works similarly to menus. You'd need to add the script that hitman provided to the script that controls what happens when each console option is selected.
