thanks

Is there a way to edit a String Game Setting through a Script? I tried con_SetGameSetting, but it didn't seem to have any effect when a String is used for the Value.

In relation to the 'GoToJail' function, is there any way to detect what cell the player is being moved to when said function is called?

I'm trying to make it so that if the player is sent to either of my (going to be) two jails, an npc is moved to an adjacent cell to the player in the jail he is sent to.

You could use GetInCell after the Player has gone to Jail, and then move the NPC into location thereafter.

(I also posted this in a separate thread, but I thought maybe this is better..)
Hi. I'm new to modding with oblivion so I have a couple of questions. I'm making a bow and arrow mod for myself, but i get 2 issues.

1. The Bow breaks after the first shot. I set the Bow's health to 400, which is more than most bows i see in CS. But still? How do i fix this?

2. When i click my stack of 50000 arrows (IN GAME) only 1 arrow is "equipped" into the quiver ( at least i think so, cant be to sure cuz my bow keeps breaking and maybe that causes the arrows to unequip)

I set the damage of the bow AND arrow to 60000 ( CHEAT ), Is that a problem perhaps?

Looking at the CS wiki, it looks like the Arrow damage IS the cause. The Wiki says:



Taking into account the high damage, it sounds like the percentage damage from the shot is greater than the Bow's health. Try using a lower damage on the arrows, and see if the effect persists. If it doesn't, then just increase the bow's Health.

Hey thanks for the help. I actually figured this out myself for once . I lowered the damage, and raised the health, that made the bow durable again. And the arrows quiver issue was fixed by lowering the amount of arrows to a "normal" value (in my case 500 arrows)

Thanks still!

PROBLEMS FIXED!

Is there a simple way to dequestify quest objects if the required NPC dies?
Like a line of some sort added to stage 200 of the quest to switch off the item's quest flag?
I've looked at the vanilla quests and items but can't see anything anywhere that does this.

Begin OnDeath
ObjectID.setquestitem 0
End

(Or however the command is. Of course setstages can also be put into it, in case the quest is already running and needs to be closed. If GetQuestRunning Bla == 1, setstage Bla ##, endif.)

SetQuestObject [ObjectID] 0

The Object ID is the Form ID from the CS (the name) rather than the reference, I believe.

This should be simple but I can't figure out how to do it . . .

what is the script command (OBSE or CS) to get the refid of NPC you are in dialog with?

-dan

Thanks!

I have scripts for each NPC to trigger quest stage 200 of their quest if they die.

So is it best including the line .setquestitem 0 in the NPC death script before the setstage part
or adding SetQuestObject to stage 200 of the quest? ,--like
SetQuestObject ANQSQ07EngagementRing 0
StopQuest ANQSmallQuest07

Is there a console command that I can use ingame to get my cell co-ordinates? I think that I heard of an OBSE one, but just didn't note it at the time.

is this what you are looking for.

player.getpos x
player.getpos y
player.getpos z


note these are not obse functions, they are cs functions

Perfect, as good as I had hoped for. I've just spent 40 minutes navigating Middle Earth to try and get accurate co-ordinates for a region.

How do I set up an ini for a mod?


If you want you can also you tdt.
Open the console and write "sdt 0", press enter, and then write "tdt" and press enter. It will give you coordinates, cell ID, etc.

Better again, thanks.

Either way's fine.

I posted a link in the previous page, IIRC.

Hey there!

How do I get the name of the object I just activated in a script?
(I'm trying to get the name of the flora I'm touching so I can use in another part of the script)

Thanks in advance!

Use http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/GetCrosshairRef to grab a reference to the object under your cross hairs, and use the $ operator to extract the name ( if it has one )

I know you can have one script check the value of a variable in another script, but can the first script change the value of the other script's variable as well? Do they have to be of the same script type (both quest scripts)?

I have one magic effect script with the syntax:
set ThatOtherQuestScript.doonce to 0
in the scripteffectfinish block. But when I compile it, it says there's an unknown variable or function "doonce" in the magic effect script, like it's not checking the quest script I'm telling it to. There is definitely a doonce variable in the quest script, but not one in the magic effect script.

I'm having trouble with a token.I want it to set the stage in a quest to a certain one based on the players class. I used this script with the fixed paladin talent code I posted a couple days below it but nothing happens, not even the "cannot equip message. I've tried swapping the gamemode in the paladin script for menumode but still nothing

ScriptName TalentTokenScriptBegin OnEquip	SetStage RedTalentsQuest 10End

Could you post the rest of the code, or make a topic for it please?
One thing that is immediately a problem here is that once you equip that item it will set the quest to stage 10, but if you unequip and re-euip at a later stage you will reset the stage to 10. You need to add some condition.
