That just gives me an "invalid operands" error. And you're right the double= just gives me that same assignment error message.

The variable "type " hasn't been defined, so neither assignment nor comparison would be valid.

So how would I do that? Sorry for the noob question but scripting is not my thing.

So I've encountered a minor wrinkle. I've included "isscripted" as an exception but I'm using the Bone Grind mod, which places a script on all the bone clutter in the game. I'd rather turn those off along with all the other useless clutter. Would having the reference ID after the "if crosshairref." line be enough, or is there something else I'd need? So I would end up with this:

if crosshairref.skelbigbone01 == 1

Well that answers my question, it doesn't work. So how would I go about making an exception to an exception for an individual base item?

Underneath your "ref crosshairref" line, stick a line in that says:
short type

For the bone thing, try:
if crosshairref.getbaseobject == skelbigbone01

OK, that works, but so did your original "int". I now have the type as only Misc Items, nothing else is affected. Which simplifies the script a great deal, I only need to have 3 exceptions, getgoldvalue, isquestitem and isscripted. Thanks TNO.



This doesn't work, in fact it breaks the script if I put it in. The crosshairref no longer gets destroyed.

Note that I added the type variable to make it very easy to check for more than one type, see below:

You probably put it in wrong, maybe you put in in so that only items of that type gets destroyed?

Below is a version that's untested, but should work. I've re-written it a bit, to make it simpler to read. The script now returns immediately after each condition where it concludes that it should not set the item to destroyed.

OK, that works. Thanks again. So here's what I have now. I'm also thinking about adding armour to make the Blades armour in Cloud Ruler Temple non-interactive. No point in being able to grab something that's not worth anything, and you can get most of what you need from the chest there. I'll just toss in a shield and helmet to make it complete.

So what exactly does that return command do? I guess if I'm going to start tinkering with scripts, I may as well learn something about them.

I sure like the way this script is working, it's so nice to be able to turn off all the worthless junk in the game. I don't know how many times I've tried to get some item that's in a bowl etc. and ended up with the bowl instead. Then I have to fiddle around trying to put it back into place since I don't want to see a bunch of Strawberries floating in mid-air if I come back to the area later on. I get the name of the item appearing onscreen for maybe a second or two, then after that it's just like any Static item. Yet they still end up in the loot lists.

If you have any questions about particular command, just look at http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/Return. Everything is explained there.

Thanks. I do try to use the Wiki whenever possible but it's not always easy finding the information I'm looking for. And quite often when I do the explanation is so vague that I haven't a clue what it's trying to say. That entry explains the Return command quite well though. That would probably also explain why the script seems to be working faster in the game now. I barely have time to see the item name before it flashes out.
