I am making a Medeval-style manor and at the entrance, and at the pathway I am going to place braziers (those round stone that's hold a firepit and some fire) but I want to make the fire "start" at a certain time. Like during the daytime it is not lit, but when it hits 8:00pm they turn on, supposedly by the guards. Anybody know how to do it? I've seen it on other mods, but I never really figured out how to do it.

There is a script in MSFD that you could use. You would need to change the start and end positions and the possibly the Moveworld (also the object ID's).

Begin MyLightScheduleshort control_fire ;don't know what this is used for; The script is attached to an NPC that guards the fire.;******* this controls the fires schedule:if ( GetDistance, my_firepit < 600 ) ;you may not need this part     If ( GameHour < 20 )          if ( my_light->GetPos Z >= 400 )               my_light->MoveWorld z, -0.1 ; Move fire down          else               my_light->disable          endif     elseif ( GameHour >= 20 )                my_light->enable                if ( my_light->GetPos Z < 511 )                my_light->MoveWorld z, 0.1 ; move fire up           else                my_light->enable                endif     endifendifend

Can you work with that?

I can try. I am not the best with scripting. If I have any issues, I'll get back to you.

Hmm. I have a problem. When it is daytime, it continues to go down, like it's supposed to but when it comes nightfall it is still slowly moving and not rising back up. I can give you a link to the mod and you can check it out if you want, but I am using that same script. Here's what I have.


I have a guard next to the brazier. I renamed them so that it would fit to the script, and the guard would operate it. It works during the day, but never comes back up.

I tried the MSFD script and had some odd results as well.

Here is a simple script to achieve the effect:

Begin AAA_Fireif ( GameHour < 7.9 )     elseif ( GameHour < 8.1 )                 aaa_My_Light-> disableelseif ( GameHour < 19.9 )         elseif ( GameHour < 20.1 )      aaa_My_Light-> enableendifend

I'm still testing the other to see if I can get it working.
