I am working an overhaul of the magic system and one of the features will introduce Spell Tome, much like you get in Skyrim. I have them working great through a script, but one minor issue I have is that once they are dropped as a world object they cannot be picked up again which would be a bit annoying for anyone who wants to drop them and sell later, for example.

Here is my script layout

What would I need to edit to prevent the tome from being disabled once it becomes a world object? I am pretty much a noob with scripting, it's something I am currently still learning so need help now and then.

Aren't spell tomes introduced by the Spell Tomes DLC? Or are you doing something else?

They are but I don't have that one, but from what I have seen they don't have tomes for all the spells which mine does plus mine adds levelled variants of vanilla ones - for example the absord agility novice spell now has apprentice, journeyman, expert, master, and grand master versions which will also be sold by merchants and maybe added to scrolls. I am also adding a buttload of new spells which I know the DLC does too, but like I said I don't have that one and I would like to make my own and a LOT more.

This mod will also have more enchants with new equipment, NPCs and creatures will take advantage of the new magic, new powers, and anything I feel like adding down the line, so it's not like i'm copying the DLC it will be an overhaul.

Do they have collision? If an object lacks collision, you won't be able to pick up again.

Yes, it's just using a regular book with a new texture. It can be picked up initially but the script prevents from repeating, it's something to do with the 'DoOnce' so maybe it's just a case restructuring the script but i'm not sure.

Try this instead:

Scriptname (name)short doOncebegin OnActivate	if doOnce == 0		playsound (sound)		Player.AddSpell (spell)		set doOnce to 1	endif        Activateendbegin OnEquip	if doOnce == 0		playsound (sound)		Player.AddSpell (spell)		set doOnce to 1	endifend

Cool i'll try it out later, i'm out all day today so will probably not be able to test this out until tomorrow.

Thanks
