About this video

How to use an item, like a book, to make crafting recipes appear at the forge. The armour/clothing/weapon/potion can only be crafted when the item is in inventory.

    Okeh, I just messed around for hrs. with conditions, condition functions and parameters I know nothing about, achieveing nothing XD .

    Then I just recreated what you showed in your Video in FO4Edit . Made a Book, created a COBJ with the condition to have that Book in Inventory ( function = GetItemCount ) -> works nicely ofc . Book in Inv: can craft . Book not in Inv: can not craft .

    I guess that'll do for the moment . As soon as I have some more time to spare, Ill mess around with stuff I dont know anything about and dont understand some more XD .

    Thank you, very much appreciated. I want to do pretty much exactly this, but in FO4. This Video gives me some insight I was missing, now I can go and see whether it works similar/the same with FO4 and FO4Edit .

      You can most definitely do this in FO4Edit. I added a unique skull as a crafting condition, so I know it works.

      Perfect, thanks much for your reply . SInce I am new to modding anything, I was a bit unsure as to what kinds of records I would need to create and edit how, as mentioned above, your tutorial cleared most of that up for me . I am going to get to work a bit later today .

      EDIT: which of your FO4 MODs did you add that unique skull condition to?

      Oh it's just my private mod. Would you like me to make a tutorial on how to add recipes and conditions?

      Would be great to see no doubt, though a step-by-step .txt would do for me . I can learn pretty well from reading and just lookig at what other MAs did . Mostly, my confusion is about how to structure things, and what records require what values for what effect .

      But yeah, if you feel like, the tutorial you mentioned would be very helpfull .

      I am also looking for a way to make recipes dependent on simply having found a Book/magazine/Item - without them necessarily being in your inventory when crafting . I know about the one workaround requiring perks from looking at DDP's Vault 273 mod, and was told there may be a possibility incoorporating ingestibles .

      Basically, where I want to get to is for the Player to have to learn stuff before being able to craft stuff . I may go the perk route for that . But for starters, I will start with the simple things . Make a Book that gives a recipe as long as it is in inventory . Add that Book to an existing Vendor's selling Inventory ( I do not want to place an Item into Worldspace cos of possible cell reset, and dont want to mess with native Leveled Lists cos I do not want to flood the Commonwealth with Books XD .) . Allow the player to buy that Book - maybe make it appear randomly through defining another leveled list that Vendor has access to - and then craft stuff .

      Ofc have tons of Ideas on how to expand on that, but ofc first need to learn how to get stuff done and working one small step after the other .

      . Sry. for wall of text, and thx for your helpfullness .

      Yeah I do that a lot too. I reverse-engineer other people's work or I just need to be pointed into the right direction and I can figure out a lot on my own without having to be told everything step by step with a lot of theory. That's why I made these videos as they are. Most people can figure things out as long as they get pointed to the right way.

      In Skyrim the perk thing was done through spells. Like spells could be Abilities. Book teaches AbilityCraftSteelItems. And then you put the spell as a condition on the crafting.

      I just checked it in FO4 and they have Spells too, which are abilities as well. But I can't seem to add them through notes or books.

      I have found that I can set "Has been read" as a condition for a COBJ - now I am just insecure how to reference that to the Book that has to be read for it to trigger . I found indication that i simply need to put the FormID of the BOOK into either one of th 2 "none" fields, or into
      Param #3 . Cant tell yet which works XD .
