I would like a script to run automatically when the player starts the game, and run in the background continuously. In Morrowind, this would be a "global" script, a script not tied to an object and listed in the StartScripts list in the Construction Set.

I can't seem to find similar functionality in the CK / Papyrus, everything seems to be tied to an object.

Can someone enlighten me?

Thanks!

Simplest way to do this is create a Starts Enabled quest and attach your quest to it. You'll need to use the OnUpdate event on the script, and call RegisterForUpdate from the quest's startup stage.

Calling RegisterForUpdate in the startup stage? Is there a way to specify which of the quest's scripts the function will be called from?

Thank you, Maturin!

Thanks man, have been thinking about this myself. Looks like you can change the interval that it updates at through the registerForUpdate function so it could be set really fast if need be.

How do we even do that? Making a Papyrus fragment that does "RegisterForUpdate(1)" doesn't work...How do we even do that?

Does anyone have an answer to Archereon's question above? I'd like to know as well.

Dont add it as a fragment. Use the Scripts tab on the far right and attach it there.
