[solved] Getting item and its script into OC

[Legacy_WhiZard]

               Just to note Lightfoot is correct concerning the ExecuteScript() placement.

However, I have never really seen how the ExecuteScriptAndReturnInt() really functions in the On Hit: Unique Power spell script.  If after the script being called completes, the value X2_EXECUTE_SCRIPT_END is found to be set, then the calling script immediately completes and ends, otherwise it naturally completes and ends.

               Yea, That was just a cut and paste.   commenting out the check for the TagBased scripting switch since TBS is not enabled in the OC anyway.

The order from what I've been told many times is...

Module Scripts> Hak pak > override > core scripts

This looks wrong. (Sorry, I'm too lazy to search it now ;p )
IIRC this should be

hak pak > override > module scripts > core scripts

               I'm a bit stumped.   I don't even think the "x2_s3_onhitcast" script is being reached and executed.

edit:  I noticed HotU mod has different Module Properties,  for Events.  So I'll troubleshoot there

               It goes
highest ---> lowest priority
hak -> module -> override -> core resources

the only thing you can override using the overrides folder are core resources. If the module itself (or a hak) has the same resource in it, that version will have priority over both overrides and core resources. I believe that's what you're seeing here.

Why don't you simply edit the hotu module directly, add in your stuff, then rebuild it?

               Thanks guys,  the x2_s3_onhitcast  is working.
Its just that my spell isnt, in the HoTU mod only.  It's just strange.

               Woohoo!!  Solved

Thanks everyone especially WhiZard.  

Summed up answer:   
Copy the HoTU files ("X2..") from the nwm folder into modules folder. Give a different filename AND .mod extension.

In the Toolset, open the modules' "x2_s3_onhitcast"  script.   Add a statement  'if (GetTag(oItem) == "item-tag" ', containing the weapon's on-hit script directly.  Then make an item, or put the .UTI into the override folder.   Save, and start the OC through the New > other modules.

I used Lilac Soul's script program for the on-hit script.  Also used cheat dm_spawnitem (item) to get item in game.
