Only demi-orc for my itm

[StrongArmand]

I've created an itm in DLTCEP and I would like to allow my weapon to half-orc and only for them. So I've used the slot for hal-orc. However when I try to equip this weapon to an half-orc, I have an error... Something works wrong with this component ?

[berelinde]

Items aren't really my forte, but have you tried checking every other box except for the non-halforcish races?

[Icendoan]

Well, with usabilities, you NEED to have "True Class" selected, all alignments you want (all) and all classes you need to use, as well as races. Try checking EVERY box and only unticking the race boxes.

 

Next, check everything else is OK, like it isn't 2handed with a 1handed animation, or vice versa, and make sure that it is specified as a weapon to begin with.

Maybe i've found an answer to my own asking. I've seen a piece of tp2 in amber's mod and I trying to reproduce it. But weidu send me an error (at the end of tp2). I post it here :

Well, this block should be allow to forbidden this weapon to all race exept for half-orcs. Thanks in advance for your help.

You've got one END too many just before BUT_ONLY.

But that code will not do what you want. At least not well.

 

It's better to use the usability flags for this.

As I recall, DLTCEP inverts the flags. Everything that is checked in the usability window can use the item and everything that isn't checked can't use the item. If you were to look at the item with e.g. NI or another "faithful" editor, you'd see the opposite (an item only usable by half-orcs would have everything but half-orc checked).

[StrongArmand]

Yes but as I've already said half-orc flag doesn't work...

[Wisp]

Yes but as I've already said half-orc flag doesn't work...

Huh, half-orcs apparently count as humans. The half-orc flag doesn't seem to have any effect on them (like you said).

 

Maybe someone more savvy than me can help you, but I can't think of a good way and don't really want to suggest a bad way. You'd probably need to do something with scripts and spells and stuff, however. I don't think using weidu to patch in opcodes 180 would work out well.

Whaaat? Maybe an .exe patch for this is in order, if someone could figure out where in it the defect is.

[Avenger]

Ok, so the half-orc field isn't working at all, or it is just for something else?

[Miloch]

Not sure what else it would be for - I don't think it works at all, or it does the same thing as the "human" flag.

[SixOfSpades]

First off, don't make items from scratch. Find an already-existing item, so you KNOW that it works, and then flag it as unusable by most races. Make no other changes. Save it under a different name, and then test it. If it crashes the game, then there's something weird going on.
