Hi guys, this is a pretty simple question from someone just getting started but I can't seem to find a complete enough answer on the forums, so I'm posting it here.

The idea i'm stuck with is the following:

I want to have a script that runs continuously (i.e. while loop) when the game runs. The ideia is that it's listening for certain inputs (using the SKSE input functionalities) and once they are pressed, it triggers an event in the game world. A simple example would be:

while(true){
if isKeyPressed('0')
killLightsInRadius(20)
elif
...
}

The part I'm not sure how to do is making the script run as soon as the game is loaded.. I understand that you can make a script run if you attach it to a quest (or any other thing for that matter), but as you've seen this is not what I had in mind. This is probably a stupid question, but thanks for your help anyway

I believe the SKSE team is working on an OnKeyPressed event so you could use that when it's available

You will have to create a quest and check the "start game enabled" box.

Then, put your script inside an event block. Currently there is only an OnInit event that runs only when the script is first loaded, but patch 1.6 introduces an OnGameLoad event, so the script will carry across saves.

When SKSE works out how to implement new events, you'll want to just put your logic inside an OnKeyPress event block, but until then you will have to poll IsKeyPressed.
