Can anyone give me a hint on how to manipulate globals from within a Papyrus script?

I tried the set command that I think usually works in game, but it wont work in Papyrus.

Event OnEquipped(Actor akActor)  if akActor == Game.GetPlayer()	set myGlobal to xxx  endIfendEvent

This throws up compile errors.

You have to set the Global as a property, then manipulate its value through there.

You have to add a property with the type GlobalVariable and set that to the global you wish to set.

A shortcut for this is adding a property with the editor ID of the global and using auto fill.

There's a lot of stuff that's changed in the scripting language this time around. Off course, I'm still wrapping my head around it myself, but of important note is that you don't use

Set  to 

instead, the syntax is

 = 

Still having trouble. How do I add Global Properties via the propertys window?

When I try to add one, with a name of
myVar and a value of fCombatMagickaRegenRateMult

It throws up compile errors.
The AutoFill option doesnt become enabled, and I am unsure how to reference the global setting without getting this step to work.

Anyone got an example?

Looks like GlobalVariable is wrong data type?

I finally got it working so I can use the dropdown, but its not showing fCombatMagickaRegenRateMult

So...
Anyone know how to programatically alter settings?
fCombatMagickaRegenRateMult being the regen rate of magicka in combat.

You're correct; fCombatMagickaRegenRateMult is a game setting not a global.

You can set it with http://www.creationkit.com/SetINIFloat_-_Utility.

Thank you.
I wouldnt have thought about calling it an INI Setting. Lol

I shouldn't have either... (It doesn't work, does it?)

Try declaring it as a float property instead.

Posting your script would help people here figure out what is wrong, but in general, the type of the property for a global variable should be “GlobalVariable”, so it sounds like you have that set up correctly. The “initial value” is only used for things like integers or booleans, so you’ll want to leave that blank. If you want the editor to auto-fill the property for you, then the name of the property needs to match the name of the form you’re interested in, and the form needs to be the right type. Again, going back to your example, if there is a global variable in the editor named “fCombatMagickaRegenRateMult” then you need to make a “GlobalVariable” property with a name of “fCombatMagickaRegenRateMult”, which will look like the following in your script:

GlobalVariable Property fCombatMagickaRegenRateMult auto

Then, once you attach the script to something and go into the properties window, it should auto-fill the property with the desired global variable.
