Modding Help adding a function to a headpiece

As many of you already know, I created Night Vision Googles. I would like to add the ability to turn them on and off without taking the headpiece off.(maybe with some form of hotkey). I already downloaded the sound file I would like to use for this, but I am not sure if it is even possible. So if anyone knows a way to apply a function i would be forever grateful.

Thanks for the help.

 

There isn't any function like this, unfortunately.

To make matters worse, Lua can't be integrated with items.

 

I figured as much. I wonder if I can at least add a sound file that plays when the item is equipped...

 

You might be able to use ActionOnReap, though I don't know what it actually does.

 

Wow, I never heard of that tag...I need to research what that actually does, lol.

 

Code:

  "actionOnReap" : [
    {
      "action" : "sound",
      "file" : "[path/to/file]"

    }

  ]

 

Thanks, I'll try that.

 

I don't know how you'll have them turn on/off without taking them off until key mapping is available, though. Or a reliable way to tell if you have the item on.
