Hello all,

I am looking into adding a user interface element (a bar, similar in aesthetics to the enchanted weapon meter) to the main HUD of Skyrim for my mod. This will probably require me to learn Flash / ActionScript programming to use the ScaleForm UI.

The question is: is there a way to talk to the ScaleForm UI via Papyrus? If so, how? Specifics aren't necessary, I just need to know if anyone already knows if such a thing is even feasible before I go down the deep, dark path of learning Flash and ActionScript.

Thanks for any insight.

You would probably need to talk to the SKSE team--the SkyUI folks are in a http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1342812-relz-skyui/page__view__findpost__p__20664034, I think.

That pretty much sums it up. Damn. Thanks, DreamKing.

Nope, SKSE extends some of the Game callbacks to shove more information into the AS of SkyUI. I hope in the future SKSE will provide a function to allow us to "transfer" Papyrus information into a new layer that will be transported to a callback we could use in our UI to retrieve the information.

I really hope this as well. I'm even kinda expecting that it will happen at some point, it has to be possible somehow and the guys working on SKSE are brilliant.

Most of what you said went over my head; however, your overall tone tells me that there's hope! So thanks! I look forward to future SKSE developments.
