How to game cell name or coordinates

Post » Mon Jun 18, 2012 11:27 pm

It is pretty basic, I guess, but I just started modding and can't find how in the game's console you can get the coordinates or cell name of the current player position to use in the CK.

I know about GetPos function but it returns coordinates that cannot be use in CK since CK Tamriel coordinates are somewhere between 60 and -60 and the return value is something like x: 115217.42
Is there something I didn't get right?

Thanks

When you say "In the CK", do you mean Papyrus scripts?

Can you describe what your mod is trying to do? That would help a lot in terms of offering suggestions.

No, I mean in the Tamriel worldspace, in the cell view coordinates.

What I'm trying to do is find a nice place in the game and be able to go to that exact spot in the CK to modify things there.

Just turn on distant LOD in the CK and find the area.

  • Use Skyrim to find a nice place
  • Open the console an click some static object
  • Keep the ID in mind
  • Use CK's "Find Text" function from the "Edit" menu to find this ID
  • Double click the search result and your "nice place" will appear at the render window
