How should I go about adding infinite water to an interior cell? Is it even possible? I cannot seem to change the water height setting in the cell properties, changing it makes it reset to -0 as soon as I change window

Hello. I'm trying to add several linked references at once to add a keyword for them. My idea is to use an elevator packin but it comes with three buttons (lower, upper, and middle) and i want to add two more so they can be activated in opposite sides on top and bottom to call for the elevator as shown in the pic below: When i check the properties window in the comment it says for the LinkCustom02 keyword "Link (chain) to the buttons that can move the elevator" But i don't know how to "Link Chain" references. Please help!

I'm creating a craftable drink that allows you to add a perk that you normally only get by leveling, such as Strong Back. I'd prefer to have one drink with two levels of menu (via two message boxes) that allow you to choose the SPECIAL (like Strength), and then which perk (like Iron Fist) within that Strength category. Because of that, in the script I need to reference *all* ranks of all level perks within a single script. That's 200+ properties I think. I don't care about all the typing. My concern is the number of properties i have to declare - one for each rank of each perk. A) is this too much - do I have to subdivide my script into several scripts and thus several consumables/potions? B) Can I sidestep this somehow by not using properties at all and somehow just referencing the perk directly in my script? Option A means breaking my drinks up so that I have one for strength perks, one for perception, one for endurance, etc. I don't like that since it clutters my chemistry bench menu. Any suggestions would be helpful, including if there's a way to further nest menus in the chemistry bench which would also get me what I'm after, even more elegantly perhaps. Ideas? Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone! Currently working on a mod and need some assistance on how to write out (what I believe will be) a simple script. I'm trying to do something similar to activating the portal to Sovngarde. Only, I need it to work the opposite way the vanilla portal works. Using three basic properties: -a sword (of my own creation) -a duplication of the dias in Skuldafn -a duplication of the gemstone portal from Dawnguard. (beginning initially disabled) All I want to do is this: 1) Set the sword to be placed inside the dias from when the player finds it 2) Enable the portal as soon as the sword is pulled from the dias 3) Disable the portal again when the sword is placed back into the dias. Step 1, I can figure out easily enough on my own. So I suppose, if someone is willing, can you please provide me with the needed script for steps 2 and 3? After having looked at the script source for the portal to Sovngarde, I'm assuming I will need to place the actual script itself on either the portal or the autoload that I'm placing beneath it...or perhaps both. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much, and happy modding! -CT

So I shot two identical assaultrons in the same place with both my standard and ammo converted receiver (the only difference being the first has 40 armor penetration, the second 80) with no discernable difference between end damage done to the two enemies; First enemy / Second enemy The Object mods (I added a damage boost to the standard receiver to match it with the ammo converted version) So I guess my questions are, have I set my penetration up right? Does armor penetration even work on non-humanoids with a flat armor value, and is the value of e.g. 40 a percent of the total damage that penetrates or a flat penetrating damage value?

Hi guys, I need a second brain to figure out how to properly fill a property for InterScript communication from a dummy quest to some other quest's aliases script. Here's how I'd like it to work: Let's say I have one script called "MySendingInfoScript" wanting to send some bool info (true or false) to another script "MyReceivingInfoAliasScript" attached to several aliases. "MyReceivingInfoAliasScript" attached to several aliases would go something like that: Scriptname MyReceivingInfoAliasScript extends AliasReference bool Property InfoSent = false Event OnSomeEvent() If InfoSent DoSomeStuff() Else DoSomethingElse() EndIf EndEvent Then I need "MySendingInfoScript" to properly reference the Aliases scripts which are going to use that info. Same script attached to several Aliases, they all need to get the info. I've done something like: Scriptname MySendingInfoScript extends MyDummyQuest MyReceivingInfoAliasScript Property Alias_MyAlias00 Auto MyReceivingInfoAliasScript Property Alias_MyAlias01 Auto MyReceivingInfoAliasScript Property Alias_MyAlias01 Auto Event OnUpdate() ; for the sake of the example Alias_MyAlias00.InfoSent = true Alias_MyAlias01.InfoSent = true Alias_MyAlias02.InfoSent = true EndEvent Somehow, the way I fill the properties doesn't look right - I also need to reference the quest which uses these aliases, right? I can't figure out how to do that... Could a kind soul help me avoid brain CTD here?... A thousand thanks in advance! Edit: Uh... could it be just adding something like "Alias_MyAlias00 = MyDummyQuest.GetAlias(1) as MyReceivingInfoAliasScript " to the script?

I want to be able to read property values from another script dynamically, say I have two activators and they share properties and values of properties. Is this possible to do without having them both reference an object in the world? Can I have an int property and have the value of that int be shared between multiple scripts?

I encounter an annoying problem when trying to make a scene for my quest. I am pretty sure this has worked in the past, but now I struggle. The 'properties' button (as shown in the image below) doesn't seem to work, so I can't add the scenes to my quest and start them. When I click the button, nothing happens. I have tried to close the quest window and save and reopen, but it doesn't help. I also tried to shut down the Creation Kit and start it again and reopen the mod and quest, but the button still doesn't respond. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it? http://i.imgur.com/2bma4F1.png

I'm creating a new quest mod and am having an issue with a script property. I have a utilities script (myUtilitiesScript) with some functions that I want to reuse in several places. Scriptname myUtilitiesScript extends Quest Function doSomething() ; Do something EndFunction In my main quest script I have a property declared as: myUtilitesScript Property utils AutoNow, when I try to open the script properties dialog (see below) http://tesrenewal.com/files/thermador/images/2013-07-19%2016_56_50-Properties%20for%20script%20fbmwTGVintageBrandyStage20%20attached%20to%20alias%20PlayerAlias%20a.jpg I get an error that says that the properties window cannot be opened. Removing the above property from my quest script fixes the problem but obviously I need the utilities script referenced so that I can use the functions it contains. 1, I have seen many people doing this in their scripts, does anyone know how to fix the CK error ? or 2, Is there another way to set the 'utils' property without opening that script properties window (see above picture) ? thanks

I'm trying to add to the Standing Stone script, so that when you select a certain stone, a debuff spell is also applied to make the dragonborn less omnipotent (I made another thread about this mod, I know. Different issue now.) The spells work perfectly when I add them to my character with the console, but for whatever reason they're not being added when a standing stone is activated, save the Warrior Stone. I have them set as properties in the script and I'm using the "game.getPlayer().AddSpell(____) function on them, but for some reason its just not adding the spell. I'm almost certain that the script is refusing to recognize that the properties are filled. Does anyone know a workaround for this? Please lend a hand. Ignore this crap too, I got it working right. Damn, I wish I could just delete these.

Same as the title. Is this something that was never possible? I could have sworn it worked in the old Creation Kit, and I've got a lot of Aliases to apply. I'd really rather not be bored out of my mind filling them out one by one if I don't have to.

Ok so first off, this is about a framework that has already been deployed. It's in use by multiple mods so it's too late to redesign it. Answers saying I "should have done it differently" will not be useful. I have a framework that allows MCMs and spell menus to be easily generated for creature mods, using only xEdit scripts. The part of the framework that I'm worried about is the Splicer -- this is a script attached to an Activator that has two paired array parameters, a list of ActorBases and a list of integers (the encounter levels for those actors). A mod can have a potentially unlimited number of Splicers, and they all share the same identical script. The differences between Splicers are determined by the initial values of their properties, as set in the Editor Window/xEdit. This means that when a Splicer needs to be changed during an update, any existing saves will continue using the outdated version of that splicer, since the properties will never be set to their new "initial" value. Since the framework is entirely in xEdit, I can't write a custom papyrus script for each update. I need some general update procedure that can be designed ahead of time without knowing the details of the update, that can be used repeatedly for every update. Some ideas I've found: -Replacing Splicers entirely any time they change, with a "disabler" script to attach to the old splicer that puts it out of use. -Adding a new update script to the Splicer with every update that copies the initial values of its own properties into the Splicer script's properties. I actually could compile these dynamically in xEdit, since they will have identical code other than their name. It would also only work on SKSE systems, which is recommended but not required to use the framework. Both of these techniques would potentially create a lot of "clutter" in the plugin and in the save file (and in the scripts folder for the last technique). Every update would require new script instances to be added and stored in the player's save file for every changed Splicer, and who knows how many Splicers will be changed how many times. Oh and the Splicers are attached to a base form of an Activator, not to instances of a single base form. So I can't delete them when they aren't needed anymore without orphaning scripts in people's save files. So, anyone have any better ideas?

Hey guys, what is the best equivalent to an Enum property in creation kit? I'm creating a new sub menu for by arena mod that allows the player to choose what type of enemy they would like to play against. Here is an idea of what I'm after. enum EEnemyTypeSelection = EEnemyTypeGhoul, EEnemyTypeRaider, EEnemyTypeMutant ;in the code EEnemyTypeSelection PlayerSelectedEnemy ;This will be set by the menu shown at start of game if(PlayerSelectedEnemy == EEnemyTypeGhoul) spawned_actor = spawn_points[random_spawn].PlaceActorAtMe(LvlFeralGhoul,1) elseif(PlayerSelectedEnemy == EEnemyTypeRaider) spawned_actor = spawn_points[random_spawn].PlaceActorAtMe(LvlRaider,1)

I'm looking to create a script that automatically change's items' weight when picked up, based on the class of item. I'm planning to use Event OnItemAdded and a few if statements, but I don't know syntax for how to check if the item is armor / a weapon / food / misc / etc, and I don't know what syntax to change the item's weight. I've looked through what documentation I can find on papyrus and skse, but nothing seems to apply to item properties. I just keep seeing things on doing things manually in the creation kit, which obviously doesn't work for modded items etc. Sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm a total novice to papyrus and skse. :tongue: Thanks!

Greetings to All, I am interested in altering the weaponsproperties to match realism as close as I can. I am also hoping that others might be able to view this thread as a resource of sorts, where the information is presented cleanly. As such, I will be numbering each of my questions, and giving the simplest way to present it I can think of.If you would be so kind as to answer in these regardsEnsuring the Question number is easily seen and listed firstidentifying which question you are anwering by number list the field or object name, in other words since I am a layman <field/objectname="XXXXXXX" where X=the name ie. "FireStrategyProperties" If the desired effect requires more than one variable change, please list all known effects and changes ie. to adjust bullet spread, you need to alter it in "Bulletspread_ironsights" , "bulletspread_crouch" etc etc. If a larger/smaller number indicates a greater/lesser effect If it is taken as a percentage (1=100% , .75=75% etc etc)If you are looking to have a similar question answered, please do not make a new post, the question has already been posted and when an answer is givin, it will be updated as suchI understand some may seem straightforward, but please for the sake of someone ignorant possibly trying to modify weapons (likely myself) please assume that a fairly in depth and direct answer may be required.I have located the correct files to alter the player weapons and NPC weapons.My next post will be a listing of things I am looking to alter. It may take me a while to compile them. I will also try to keep questions that have been answered labeled as such, so as not to have redundant posts. I will be putting up some questions I already have the answer to but others may not. I will answer them if i can.

Hi guys, I feel stupid, I've been trying to write a simple script to get my character to unequip his helmet before he performs some action, but I've been stuck with a dumb question: I can't find the right type of property to attach to generic helmets. Here's how it goes: keyword property ArmorHelmet auto armor Helmet Event OnActivate(ObjectReference akActionRef) If Game.GetPlayer().isEquipped(Helmet) Game.GetPlayer().UnequipItem(Helmet, false, true) EndIf EndEvent It compiles but of course it does not work... I get a "none" log error when the script runs. I've also tried using "HasKeyword(ArmorHelmet)" and Formlist property, doesn't work either but I don't get errors. I'm trying not to use skse scripts here, only Vanilla settings. I can get a 200 lines script working fine and cannot get this simple one right - damn frustrating!!! Can any of you point to me what's wrong here? Thanks :) PS. And sorry for the quote up here, I can't remember how to post scripts with all the pretty colors... sigh, bad day...

I'm not sure what's wrong, but Google has turned up nothing regarding this issue. I'm trying to add in new lighting/texture properties for a custom armor but my options are grayed out and I don't know how to change it. The modding tutorials I'm using just say double click num prop, add 2, and reference but it's unclickable. Is there some way to correct it or did I screw something up along the way and bone myself? *Edit* Or am I supposed to be adding this lighting/texture stuff as "BSProperties" instead of normal properties?

I have two main questions and one big problem I can't seem to figure out. Questions: Is there a way to make an item of clothing move with the sliders in body slide, but not bend and warp? Easiest way to explain is the example: I have sword scabbards on the hip of a belt, but obviously they are a solid object and don't have the characteristics of cloth, or foam. So far, I honestly haven't been able to get them to even register in bodyslide. The body changes and the scabbards just stay in the exact same size and position in space. Second question: Why wouldn't the outfit move at all in bodyslide? I've given the scabbards animation weight values. As you probably gathered, I'm pretty new to this but after almost a week of looking through videos and research and trying a whole bunch of things I would really, really, REALLY f*#@ing love, for someone to just explain what the f*#@ I am missing! :l Extreme appreciation for any advice I gather here. Thank you for your time.

I been shut out of Vortex with this message: Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have appropriate permissions to access the item. I am using admin account It is not the antivirus I already try the properties and got the same message I already try to unistall the program but got the same message.
