Item replacement

[Kish]

I need a way to replace an item which already exists in the game with another item before anyone in the party touches it. Also, it needs to be done by script or by dialogue, because which version of the item exists needs to depend on something that won't be consistent from game to game. (That is, I need to replace MISC8I.itm, the note from Imnesvale, with a version addressed to Valygar if Valygar has the ranger cabin, to Minsc if Minsc has the ranger cabin, and not change it at all if the PC has the ranger cabin as per the unmodded game.)

 

Is there a way to do this?

Use CreateItem with your logic (separate items) and DestroyItem on the original?

As lynx said, but you have to attach the script to the box which contains the item in question.

Like putting this in the AR1107 script?

 

IF

GlobalGT("KishMinscRangerStronghold","GLOBAL",0)

Global("KishNoteChanged","GLOBAL",0)

THEN

RESPONSE #100

ActionOverride("Container1",CreateItem("ksminote",0,0,0))

ActionOverride("Container1",DestroyItem("misc8i"))

SetGlobal("KishNoteChanged","GLOBAL",1)

END

 

IF

GlobalGT("KishValygarRangerStronghold","GLOBAL",0)

Global("KishNoteChanged","GLOBAL",0)

THEN

RESPONSE #100

ActionOverride("Container1",CreateItem("ksvanote",0,0,0))

ActionOverride("Container1",DestroyItem("misc8i"))

SetGlobal("KishNoteChanged","GLOBAL",1)

END

 

This doesn't seem to work.

 

Edit: Got it! The problem is that the script for AR1107 is called AR1102.bcs, so the appending to AR1107.bcs I was doing was just trailing off into nowhere.

 

Thanks for your help.
