Forum:Help about console commands

hey everyone, i'm new here on the forums, but been reading the guides, so i think its a good site.

now, my problem is, that i try to use to get my character a unique plasma rifle which is coded 00e6064#

and i go to the console commands

type in player.additem 00e6064#

(i can't make a dot, it gives me player/additem 00e6064#, is that normal or is that the problem?)

but it gives me an error, such as script command 'player' not found or something. am i supposed to type in the name of my character (i tried that too but it didnt work) or is it something else?

any help would be appreciated.

thanks


 * Hi there. First of all, please sign your posts on talk pages and forums with four tildes ( ~ ).
 * Now, for your problem; I assume the special Plasma Rifle you want is the Q-35 matter modulator. The fact you can't put a dot in there probably has a lot to do with it. Also, the "#" refers to the amount you want (it isn't part of the ID), which means you need to put a space between it and the ID. So, your command should look like this;
 * player.additem 00e6064 #
 * Hope this helps. --Sentinel 101 19:14, November 22, 2010 (UTC)

Auk-the-lone-wanderer 19:36, November 22, 2010 (UTC) thanks, sentinel, i figured that my disability to type in the dot, is most likely the problem seeing a couple of videos on youtube.

now, the problem is i'm from turkey and i use a turkish keyboard, and i assume that the game doesnt completely, say, fit with my keyboard. i tried to change it to us keyboard but still didnt help.

what can i do?

can i copy/paste the command? i assume not, because the last time i tried it didnt work. hope there is a way.

thanks in advance, auk

Unfortunately, you can't paste into console. However, there was a way to do it without a period in FO3 that I'd imagine still works. if you enter console from third person, you can click on yourself to select yourself, and then just enter additem  # --DragonJTSLeave me a message 02:52, November 23, 2010 (UTC)

oh well, i got it right after all, you see, it was the ö button that got the dot (alternative character i mean. ALT+Ö=.)

so i got the gun. now, how can i get the power armor training? i think the code is player.additem 00058FDF but it didnt work.

(btw, i sound like a cheater plus a newcomer, but i played fallout 3 on ps3 with no cheating at all, and completed the storyline + dlc's several times :)

power armour training is a perk, not item, so it's addperk --DragonJTSLeave me a message 04:41, November 24, 2010 (UTC)
