[KotOR] "Item gained" trigger

[Salk]

Hello!

Does anyone know what triggers the pop up "Item gained" in the game?

 

Thanks!

AFAIK, it simply appears whenever an item is placed in the players inventory by the game itself and not by a player action like looting or buying.

I thought so too but I used GiveItem in a script to give the Sith Armor to the player in Taris and the "Item Gained" does not pop up.

Because there's nothing in the script that gives you that item. You manually put it in your inventory rather than the game itself forcibly putting it in there, such as getting Bendak's blaster

I created a script that does it:

 

void main(){


object oPC=GetFirstPC();


GiveItem(GetObjectByTag("ptar_sitharmor"), oPC);


}

and I do not get the "Item Gained" pop up...

I think you need to use CreateItem scripts for it to work. If I understand it correctly, GiveItem does not actually create the item and so there's no pop up.

Try this

 

void main() {

    object oPC = GetFirstPC();

    CreateItemOnObject("asd", oPC);

}
