I've replaced the static Vacuum Tube Lights and Railway Lamps with pickable and placeable ones that you can turn on and turn off. For this I copied how it's done in http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/13490/? but tweaked the scripts etc. a bit. It works perfectly (and I actually think http://static-8.nexusmods.com/15/images/120/1768079-1432506379.jpg when removing the "fake lights" and have "real" lamps instead), but it's basically set up so there are two different objects/meshes that are replaced via the script - one is the lamp when lit, one is the lamp when unlit - and it's a bit "immersion breaking" that you actually notice that the lamp nifs get switched when turned on and off. Also, when the lamps are placed a bit unstable, they can turn over in the process.

So I thought that I'd have a script that rather adds a light to the item when lit and removes the light when turned off, but how would I do this?

As it is the scripts for the Railway Lamps look like this:

scn lowllamp01turnonshort iButtonshort iButtonPressedref rMySelfBegin onactivate Player        set rMySelf to GetSelf        ShowMessage lowlightoff            set iButtonPressed to 1endBegin GameMode        if iButtonPressed == 1                set iButton to GetButtonPressed                if iButton > -1                        set iButtonPressed to 0 					if iButton == 0 ; Enable ?                                rMySelf.disable                                rMySelf.PlaceAtMe lowllamp01                                rMySelf.markfordelete                        elseif iButton == 1     ;take ?                                	rMySelf.disable							Player.Additem lowllamp01off 1							rMySelf.markfordelete                         elseif iButton == 2     ;do nothing ?					endif				    	endif                endif        endifend

And

scn lowllamp01turnoffshort iButtonshort iButtonPressedref rMySelfBegin onactivate Player        set rMySelf to GetSelf        ShowMessage lowlighton          set iButtonPressed to 1endBegin GameMode        if iButtonPressed == 1                set iButton to GetButtonPressed                if iButton > -1                        set iButtonPressed to 0 					if iButton == 0 ;Disable  ?                              rMySelf.disable                              rMySelf.PlaceAtMe lowllamp01off                                            rMySelf.markfordelete                         elseif iButton == 1     ;take ?							rMySelf.disable                               	Player.Additem  lowllamp01off 1							rMySelf.markfordelete                        	elseif iButton == 2     ;do nothing ?					endif				    	endif                endif        endifend

Can I just create a light and then add it via a

rMySelf.PlaceAtMe lowllamplight

line? And how would I remove it when it's turned off? I guess it's (hopefully) rather simple, but I svck at scripting so I'm a bit lost on how to change the scripts so it works as I'd like.
