Check you are recording sound files for the right voice type for the NPC.

Also, if you have any non-optional aliases in your quest it will not start (so no dialogue).

But this is a very bad time to be testing dialogue, because of a bug in the latest version of the game. You might find that the dialogue works after saving and reloading your game.

[Erika Ellsworth]

It was bug, Just save load and it works! Thanks a lot. I wouldn't have thought of it.

Another question;

I just downloaded NotePad++ and the set up says to add this line to Run:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Papyrus Compiler\ScriptCompile.bat" "$(FILE_NAME)" "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)"
But I did, and changed Program Files to games because that is where my Steam is, and it says file not found when I try to compile my script. I even went through and directed it to the ScriptCompile.bat and I when I run it still says file not found.

What exactly do I need to put in this line..? If someone could just tell me the exact line or show me theirs it would be great.

[kyle pinchen]

Guys quick one, I'm trying to find the quest that controls the dialogue spoken by merchants. Hunters, shop owners, that sort of thing. Anyone know what it's called in the CK?

I'm trying to figure out how to build a clean looking Dwemer lift. Nothing in the Dwemer kit I have found seems to be made to support the lift platform. Any advice?

Navigate to ScriptCompile.bat, R-Click > Properties, then copypasta the full path to your N++? If that doesn't work, post the contents of your ScriptCompile.bat.

[Sophie Morrell]

How do I post the contents of my ScriptCompile.bat?

[Wayne Cole]

R-Click > Edit. You'll find, if you haven't already edited it, that it's pointed to Beth's dev directory and not Steam/your games drive.

[Kieren Thomson]

This?

"C:\Projects\TESV\Build\PC\Papyrus compiler\PapyrusCompiler.exe" %1 -f="TESV_Papyrus_Flags.flg" -i="C:\Projects\TESV\Build\Source\DLC01\Scripts" -o="C:\Projects\TESV\Build\PC\Data\Scripts"
pause

[Farrah Lee]

This?

Yes. Note that "C:\Projects\TESV\Build\PC\" does not exist. Change it so the three instances of that match your Skyrim's path.

If your Games drive letter is G:\, for instance

"G:\Steam\SteamApps\Common\Skyrim\Papyrus Compiler\PapyrusCompiler.exe" %1 -f="TESV_Papyrus_Flags.flg" -i="G:\Steam\SteamApps\Common\Skyrim\Scripts" -o="G:\Steam\SteamApps\Common\Skyrim\Scripts"Pause

Yup, provided your Games folder is on your system drive.

[Thema]

Thanks, last question: What do I do with this part: TESV_Papyrus_Flags.flg

I tried to compile my script, and it kinda worked but said it failed and I believe it is due to me not having this or it does not exist. Other than that your help has been great, never would have found this on my own.

[Spencey!]

Can having too many spell abilities running (5-10) waiting for the player to do something (such as IsSwimming()) in order to take effect lower system performance?

[Pants]

Posted my own topic.

[lillian luna]

Is therer a way to cast a spell on player's follower? Spell to heal him, for example?

Is it possible to make a new own perk tree with new constellation?

[Zosia Cetnar]

Hi. Is it true that running a script for a magic effect will have to be cast on 'self' rather than aimed or target location? I haven't actually tried a target actor, but that should work i think (but that doesn't actually suit my needs at the moment).

The events for onEffectStart and Finish are for (Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster) -- so those actors cannot be an object reference or a location right? Also, is there something other than OnEffectStart and OnEffectFinish for an event to run the script when casting a magic spell? Does anyone have a link that explains this sort of thing in more detail?

Would it work to cast to a target location, have an explosion as part of the spell, have a marker spawn as part of the explosion, and have a script as part of the marker? If that does work, what is the event that would trigger the script? OnInit? You need an event right? To the best of my understanding you can't just run a function on an object or a spell; an event has to trigger it. Has anyone set up an effect like this? It's starting to sound complicated.

I'm at work so I don't have the time or ability to work through this until this evening but it's bugging me

[Monika Krzyzak]

How can I make it so that there is a chance that when attacked by a wolf or werewolf, you contract a disease?

I kind of want to make my werewolf mod let you get infected like that

Thanks in advance

EDIT - I have been helped now and have found out how to do this.

[Dagan Wilkin]

Just looking for a spell making expert to help me out with a few things. Pm would be the best way. I want to run some concepts and how I'm trying to implement them by you and see if you can help me figure out the best way to do it.

[Michelle Smith]

Bump

[Emmanuel Morales]

Anyone know a way to test for the existence of an animation event?

I know I can set an idle property and if the idle isn't set it will be set to none. Is there some thing equivalent to see if the animation event the idle points at exists?

[Oscar Vazquez]

Is there a way to get the location(s) of the currently active quest's objective(s) via Papyrus?

[yermom]

I just connected my custom dungeon to the outside world, and now a handful of my monsters are wandering into the countryside and out of the dungeon. Is there a way to prevent this from happening?

EDIT: Question #2, can I have an object in multiple room bounds? One of my pieces of hallway does not match the roombound line like the rest and for about 1-2 feet it will disappear as I walk past it.

[Naughty not Nice]

EDIT: Question #2, can I have an object in multiple room bounds? One of my pieces of hallway does not match the roombound line like the rest and for about 1-2 feet it will disappear as I walk past it.

The Roombound that governs the culling of an object is the Roombound containing the object's Center marker (the little yellow cross). So in essence only one Roombound per object is allowed.

if anyone else was trying to spawn an object, this does work and you can use moveto to and removeitem(self) if you only want a single object summoned.
