Hello, I am working on creating a wand for renaming descriptions on items, but I can't get the GetDescription function to work properly. It will not grab descriptions from anything but other players even if its set to get it from the activated target. Is there any workarounds to get this function to work on items?

 

    object oPC      = GetItemActivator();
    object oItem    = GetItemActivated();
    object oTarget  = GetItemActivatedTarget();
    location lTarget = GetItemActivatedTargetLocation();

    SendMessageToPC(oPC, GetDescription(oTarget));

That's one of the broken functions.  See this thread: http://forum.bioware...functions-list/

not really ...

 

see the Broken Functions list stickied at the top of the scripting forum, it says:

 

 

 

GetDescription
Does not retrieve the default description (original toolset defined description) Only retrieves correct value after SetDescription has been called
Workaround: Assign value as variable, then set in OnSpawn

Forgot to mention I saw it was listed as a broken function, but was wondering if there was any workaround?

 

SetDescription function does work though.

The listed workaround is to set the description first, so that you can get the description later.  The listed workaround says to set it by using a variable, though you could do it through any other scripting method as well.  I haven't tried it, so I can't speak from experience.

taking a peek at the MoTB weapon crafting script may help - cant say what its called/named though

They might only allow you to change item names, rather than their descriptions.
