Local Variable on items you have two or more of not working correctly in OpenMW

[LegoManIAm94]

I made a post on the issues I am having to get my Duel Wielding mod to work in OpenMW. With more research it will appear OpenMW has some issues when dealing with local variables. I made a simple mod here which has this script that I put on the "iron longsword" weapon.

Code: Select all

begin localvariabletestscript

short mylocalvariable
short onpcequip

if ( onpcequip == 1 )
	set mylocalvariable to 1
else
	set mylocalvariable to 0
endif

if ( mylocalvariable == 1 )
	messagebox, "hello world"
endif

end

This script will spam the message "hello world" when you have a Iron Longsword equipped. This simple mod works in the original Morrowind engine but in OpenMW, if you have 2 or more Iron Longswords in your inventory and you equip one of the Iron Longsword, it will continue to spam the "hello world" message after you unequip the Iron Longsword.

To use this demo ESP file, add iron longsword to your inventory with player->additem "iron longsword" 1

You haven't actually attached a file but no worries. The script works for me in 0.46.0 - scripted items no longer stack to prevent such issues - and the iron longsword successfully stops spamming "hello world" even when it's unequipped and there's another longsword in the inventory however there seem to be other issues in the patched mod?.. Not sure. Anyway, this should already be fixed.

How do you get the 0.46.0 version? I am on Linux (Manjaro). I have 0.45.0.

You can build it yourself, or download a nightly. I don't know if we have nightlies that work specifically with Manjaro (it's based on Arch, and I know we've had problems with Arch packagers using the wrong versions of our dependencies), but our generic Linux and Flatpak nightlies should work.

This is no longer a issue after testing this mod in nightly build 2019-11-24.
