Does OBSE have a getrace function? Something like this:

That I could make a custom Dunmer for instance, And still have NPC's referring to my character as a Dunmer?

Thanks. -s-

This would be better asked in the http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1456224-rel-oblivion-script-extender-obse-0021-beta-2. But while the latest http://obse.silverlock.org/obse_command_doc.html does not have a direct equivalent, check out the 'http://obse.silverlock.org/obse_command_doc.html#Race' section. Also the http://cs.elderscrolls.com/index.php/Category:Oblivion_Script_Extender entry on OBSE.

-Dubious-

You could try http://obse.silverlock.org/obse_command_doc.html#SetRaceAlias. It won't work with GetRace but it will work for GetIsRace, which is the function that is used by most dialog (and quest) checks.

Thanks you both so much..SetRaceAlias sounds like what I am wanting.. -s-

What about this?

What exactly are you trying to do?

Also

Looks like Morrowind syntax. It won't compile in Oblivion CS.

I am trying to make a script so that I can have a custom race, that will be referred to as a vanilla race.

Is there somewhere I can see examples of how to begin and end the script?

Is this better?

Yes, assuming you are going to use it as a magic effect for a spell or magical ability.

In dialogue? Use something like this:

scn MyQuestScriptBegin GameMode   If GetGameLoaded == 1      SetRaceAlias MyRace Orc   EndifEnd

And then use GetIsRace checks in Dialogue conditions.

I don't understand this part:

And then use GetIsRace checks in Dialogue conditions.

This would be instead of what I wrote? And using OBSE?

Would what I wrote work at all?

-Edit-

Could I also use more than one SetRaceAlias at one time in the script?

Dunmer, Orsimer, Breton2, Imperial2, etc?

Saebel: It would be for dialog.

Thanks a ton for the helps you both -s-

Do you want it to work with vanilla dialogue or your own?

The script you wrote needs to be attached to a spell or magic ability. It will work if you add conditions GetGlobalValue PCRace == X to dialogue responses. (And create such global value, of course)

My script needs to be attached to a quest. It will run every gameload and set "race alias" each time, meaning that GetIsRace checks used in all vanilla dialogue will recognize one race as another.

My script will require OBSE, yours won't.

I'm still new with dialogue, but I think you have to be in menu mode first, then, presuming you have a number of buttons representing your options, you capture the button choice.

The button choice determines which race to set your PC to.

I highly recommend the CS wiki at this point. What you are doing is complicated and potentially prone to crashing. The wiki has a number of tutorials for how to handle dialogue/menus, go through those first and then once you have a better grasp of what's going on, we'll be able to help more once you have a better concept for what you are specifically trying to accomplish and have run some tests.

And don't just bastardize the tutorials thinking they will do what you want right from the start, there are all kinds of gotchas and exceptions.

Ok thank you both so very much!

I want it to work with Vanilla dialog.

Would this also work?

Yes, that should work.

Internally it's creating arrays of race variations.

Funny fact, when I first saw this thread I was like "getrace?, what the heck is a ge-trace?"
