I am brainstorming some ideas for a project and ran into one question I was hoping someone could help with.

Part of the mod will add a spell to the player's list. I want to be able to rename that spell dynamically using the string contents of a certain variable.

For example, a teleport spell. To be able to set a marker, add a spell called "Teleport to $variable" to the player list, and rename it so that the "$variable" destination matches the cell name where you set the marker.

Use SKSE's http://www.creationkit.com/SetName_-_Form.

SpellProperty.SetName("Teleport to " + TeleportMarkerREF.GetParentCell().GetName())

Haven't tried it, but it might be worth a shot.

Edit: It works

Thanks! Perhaps a foolish question, but how would I access SKSE functions in the CK?

Assuming it's the same as previous script extenders, you need to open the Creation Kit via the SKSE loader executable by adding the " -editor" command line parameter at the end. The easiest way to do this is to create a shortcut to skse_leader.exe and, in the "Target" section of its properties, add " -editor" (without quotes) at the very end (after the quotes).

Ignore that, do what *Mofakin* said instead

Just copy the SKSE scripts into the data folder, you will have automatic access to them in the CK. IsKeyPressed in script works like this for example:

If Input.IsKeyPressed(SuperDuperHotkey)

The input in front of .IsKeyPressed directly comunicates with the corresponding input.pex file from the SKSE scripts folder.

As far as I understand SKSE just extends functions with inside the original script files.

I see, that is convenient.

Looking on http://skse.silverlock.org/ the current version doesn't include these scripts, however the "beta" release does.

Does anyone know if it would be safe to use the current SKSE with the scripts included in said beta version?

I would assume it would only be functions exclusive to the beta version that wouldn't be accessible.

EDIT: I see the latest version now has the scripts included.
