The peculiar case of the stave named readiedWeapon.

[DuskWulf]

Okay, so... Testing environment and methodology!

• Lua code set to catch calcHitChance event;
• Set a variable to entity.readiedWeapon.object.type;
• Get to a place with NPCs (I like the shack where Daren Adryn hangs out, he's a bad man);
• Equip a stave (ID: wooden staff);
• Do a sneak;
• Smack Adryn (or anyone really, but especially Adryn);
• Get an error;
• Why? Seems like readiedWeapon is nil;
• Confirmed, readiedWeapon is nil;
• Get in combat;
• Smack Adryn (or anyone else, your prerogative);
• Returns 0 (rarely nil, mostly 0), should be 5.

(Don't feel bad for Adryn, he deserves it.)

Meanwhile, tes3.getEquippedItem() returns the correct weapon like a champ, every time. That was the behaviour I was expecting with checking readiedWeapon so I might just be being stupid. It seems to be the behaviour expected by other mods too though so I... might not be stupid? I never can tell. Sorry.

Suggestion: If you do have to update readiedWeapon to fix some bugs, could you pop in hand-to-hand support? Perhaps returning -1? It'd make me feel safer than just checking for not readiedWeapon, which lead to staves being classified as readiedWeapon and thust he beginning of this grand adventure. Maybe have it return -1 for hand-to-hand? I don't know. I mean, perhaps nil works just as well. Could also be out of scope as it might break other things, so I'd understand that.

Also, I appreciate your hard work! Also, also—I did a bug report despite my social anxiety, NullCascade! I hope it's okay.
