For Vector's purposes, a formID check to make sure that the spell belongs to Oblivion.esm and a substring check for "Disease:" in the spell's name. A 3rd party disease may prefix its name with that string to get Vector to process it for its various subsystems.

To my knowledge, all actors are able to host diseases. I couldn't say why the mod's author decided to use diseases over abilities (perhaps there is some advantage that I don't recall - It's been over a year since I worked on any ObScript mod).

er... no

NOT "host" diseases but SUFFER from them.

I use this in my "Dont be a soch" mod becasue actors can spread this to the player but the effects of the diseases do not effect the actors (non players) as far as I could deduce, but as you, it has been a few years from when I made that mod so I am not sure now....

They don't ? That's news to me - I was under the impression that they did.

I am too slow to edit my first post on this so:

I have a request. Can you make a command that forces the actors to look in the direction I want them to in combat? I am making a mod with game mechanic "feints" and the only way so far to tell the player that the feint worked (and that the landed blow was not just a normal shot) is to throw a message up at the time it worked. That is SAD, and I would prefer to have the actor look in the "wrong" direction to tell the player they succeeded in the feint shot.

Hmm, and I might need it to be straightforward for what I had in mind. I'm wanting to do a small "update" to the akatosh mounts mod. Thanks to my recent reading of Eragon, I thought it would be nice to have more interactions with your dragon mount. While messing around with the scripts, I noticed the Stay command is supposed to make the dragon go into a Wander AI package. Unfortunately, the dragon stays put. No wandering at all. If you change the dragon from a Mount type to a Creature type, the dragon will wander all over the place. So I had thought about inputing into the script the ability to change the type of creature the dragon is. Since this doesn't exist, the only other way I thought it could be done was to have two versions of the dragon, one for flight, one for ground. On the different options in the commands script, one dragon would be disabled, the other would be enabled and vice versa depending which command was issued. As you can tell, that would be tedious and somewhat immersion breaking because the dragon in front of you would suddenly disappear, and reappear behind you or where ever the enable function decides.

Anyways, that's what I had in mind, but if it is possible, put it on the back burner. I'd rather see other's requests before mine since it's purpose will only have a small impact.

Thanks.




According to CSE http://www.obse.silverlock.org/obse_command_doc.html#GetActiveMenuSelection takes 1 parameter, but the docs don't say anything about it. What's that parameter for?


Basically, what I'm looking for: is there any way to get the soulgem which was "equipped" to open the recharge-menu?
As far as I can tell GetActiveMenuRef doesn't work here.




PS:
The FilterCode-Link for GetActiveMenuFilter links to MenuFilterCode instead of Menu_Filter_Code.

Maybe, I'll have to dig into the code.

Thanks, that gives me a better idea of what to look for.

Like the other ActiveMenu cmds, it takes an optional integer menu type code.
Those commands won't help you here, though. I should be able to get you the soulgem after I've decoded the recharge menu's class. (Anything else you are interested in for that menu?)

Thanks.


I know, thought about using GetActiveMenuSelection in Inventory and save if the last one used is a SoulGem.

I'm sure I already said that, but :intergalactic:


:D

Hm, anything else in the Menu that can't be accessed using GetMenuString/FloatValue?
Maybe an OnReacharge-Event. If possible with a way to tell if the recharging was done by yourself or bought.
I guess the last recharged Item could be interesting, too. Nothing I'm interested atm, though.




While we're talking about Event Handlers:
I'm trying to create a Enchant-Skill which would replace the Vanilla-Enchanting-System completely by sth. inspired by the Morrowind-System (not sure what to do about Sigil Stones, but I'll deal with that later). Is it possible to trigger the OnEnchant-Event my self?
And change the return values of GetLastEnchantedItem?
Or rather, are you willing to allow this (i.e. add a command that does exactly this)?


As always: thanks for your effort. :goodjob:

There already is a time function that retrieves the system time. Take a look at the command doc.

Try GetUserTime.

No, the text is outdated. The game's "apple bug" is dead and buried.

Thanks for checking into it Scruggsy, but as I said, make my request a very minor, last priority. I'd rather see other's before mine.

I'm having a supremely thick day. I'm trying to test out PlayIdle in the console and can't get any joy.
No matter what I attempt to pass as an animation, the console complains that the animation doesn't exist or is not valid.
I've tried the animation refid, animid, you name it id. Refs, strings; nothing works.

Anyone used this godsend feature yet? What do you pass? PlayIdle ? Any clue as to what I'm doing wrong? An example would be great. Can't shake of the feeling I'm having a stupid moment.

Playidle can't be used from the console.

Thanks. Knew I was being thick somewhere along the line. Not a good day.

Just a bump for http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1173487-beta-oblivion-script-extender-obse-0020/page__view__findpost__p__17397712.
I think it might've been missed in the general commotion

Can't get playidle to work. Not from the console. Read the documentation, tried everything. It just wont accept the animation. Can anyone provide a working example?

since the update i have a problem with CCAO
i have the animation for the first weapon i use but when i change to another type ,like from a sword to a blunt weapon, the animation is not showing

No problem.

I'm not familiar with that mod. Please confirm that if you downgrade to 0020 beta 5 or beta 6 it begins working correctly again. If it doesn't, you may want to inform the mod author.

Look about 4 posts up. PlayIdle won't work from the console.

I'm fairly certain this was fixed.

Yes. I meant that im trying not from the console. Already saw that post.
Example, if you please...

ref animset anim to EscortWaitingWave ; or another Idle Animation formplayer.playidle anim 1

Thanks a bunch.

Indeed it was; I was apparently too lazy to read the "Changes" list in the OP.
Sorry about that, and thanks a bunch for taking care of it so quickly
